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 2016 respectively.
Stage 1 and Batch 1 of Stage 2 of Science Park Expansion Programme were completed in 2021 and 2025
respectively. 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 Chinese 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.
