Industrial and Other Major Development


            The Tseung Kwan O Innopark (previously known
            as Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate), covering
            about 85 ha of land and enjoying marine frontage,
            is located in Area 87 in the southeastern part of
            the New Town.  It is repositioned as an Innopark
            by focusing on Hong Kong’s competitive
            strengths and attracting high value-added, high
            technology content and advanced processes.
            As at 2022, about 90% of the industrial lots
            in the Innopark were developed.  A variety of
            corporations have established their businesses
            in the Innopark, including Data Technology (DT)
            Hub and Advanced Manufacturing Centre (AMC)        Figure 17: DT Hub and Advanced Manufacturing Centre in
            (Figure 17), multi-media production studios and                 Tseung Kwan O Innopark
            aircraft engineering and maintenance groups.

            Data centres are essential infrastructure to
            sustain Hong Kong’s continued economic
            development, in particular for the financial,
            information and communication technology,
            e-commerce and media sectors.  Over the past
            few years, a number of international and local
            companies have expressed interest in setting up
            data centres in Hong Kong.  Land has also been
            reserved in Area 85 for data centre developments
            (Figure 18) and RTHK’s New Broadcasting                Figure 18: Data centre developments in Area 85
