Science Park

Science Park (Figure 20), with an area of about 22 ha at Pak Shek Kok, is planned to provide
accommodation to attract new technology-based firms and activities to Hong Kong so as to stimulate
the growth of locally-owned, technologically advanced businesses. It provides the environment, form,
structure and services to facilitate research and development (R&D) activities, product innovation
and synergy. The land and premises within Science Park are suited to the R&D needs of local and
international high-technology firms and activities. Science Park is well-located to contribute to the
development of a high technology corridor linking Shenzhen and the main urban areas. Science Park
is being developed in phases. Phase 1, 2 and 3 were completed in 2004, 2011 and 2014 respectively.
Phase 1 of Science Park Extension Programme was completed in 2021. Another Science Park Expansion
Programme would be implemented from 2025 onwards in batches to create more R&D space to meet
the needs of technology enterprises. The buildings therein are low to medium-rise with extensive
landscaping. A stepped height concept with decreasing building heights from Tolo Highway to Tolo
Harbour has been adopted in order to create an interesting building height profile. Ancillary and
supporting facilities such as restaurants, conference rooms, business centre and on-site staff quarters
are also provided in the Science Park.

InnoCell near Science Park was completed in 2020 to provide residential units with flexible design
and ancillary facilities such as co-working space for leasing to principals of tenants and incubatees of
Science Park as well as their employees and visiting researchers from the Mainland and overseas. It
is an important supporting infrastructure for Science Park and will help foster the development of the
innovation and technology ecosystem in Hong Kong. The Government will explore the development of a
new InnoCell near Science Park.
