    Hong Kong's attractiveness to foreign talent / HKU's gum disease treatment project / Asian Games

    On Monday's Backchat, we talk about Hong Kong's attractiveness to foreign expatriates and mainlanders.

    According to the Immigration Department's latest figures, mainlanders account for 95% of applicants under the Top Talent Pass Scheme launched last December, a number some specialists attribute to the nation's increasing rate of university graduates.
    And while the policy has borne fruit in attracting talented mainland counterparts, it seems to have fallen short of luring foreigners, with only 1,375 successful overseas applicants in contrast to 24,586 from the mainland.
    From high-rents to regional competition, not mentioning opportunities in neighbouring Greater Bay Area cities -- Hong Kong is in a race to attract foreigners, with business chambers highlighting the need to get more talents from overseas.
    Are foreign talents crucial to retaining Hong Kong's international stature? Do we need more targeted immigration policies? And how can the private sector play its part?
    After 9:40, we will talk about an initiative by HKU offering free dental care to Hong Kong's underprivileged.
    At 9:55, Jamie Clarke will update you on the Asian Games.

    San Tin IT hub / e-HKD digital currency pilot scheme

    主持人:Jim Gould and Mike Rowse

    On Monday's Backchat, we learn more about plans to establish a major technology hub as part of the Northern Metropolis development.

    Aspiring to become "Hong Kong's Silicon Valley", the 627 hectare San Tin Technopole, as it's called, could create at least 165,000 innovation and technology jobs on land the size of 17 Science Parks.

    The Development Bureau has said that besides public tendering, plots could be offered by means such as restricted tendering or direct land grants.

    Meanwhile, green groups have expressed concerns about the possible environmental impact of development in the area.

    How much of an impact would the new centre have in boosting R&D capabilities? Would relaxed tendering rules encourage more tech companies to apply?

    After 9.45 we'll look into the launch of the Hong Kong digital currency trial.

    Let us know what you think. You can leave a message here on our Facebook page, email us at backchat@rthk.hk, or give us a call on 23388266.
