国内英语资讯:Across China: Guangzhou incubator gives HK and Macao entrepreneurs a leg-up

Chen Jingzhan, director of the center's entrepreneurship and innovation department, said many Hong Kong and Macao entrepreneurs that have set their eyes on development on the mainland often face similar headaches.

"It's not just a matter of investing enough time to complete the registration process. Without professional guidance, many Hong Kong and Macao newcomers to the mainland simply do not know where to start," said Chen, adding that is where the service center comes in.

Not only does the center help entrepreneurs get started, but it also offers support as they continue to develop through free registration, entrepreneurship, policy, intellectual property rights, law, and market resource consulting services.

To enterprises that meet specific requirements, the center even provides office space for two to three people free of charge, with aims of "reducing the operational costs associated with startups, and offering more development opportunities to Hong Kong and Macao enterprises," said Chen.

Since the Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area was released in February, more and more youths from Hong Kong and Macao have set their sights on Guangdong.

Ye Zhengqiao, a young entrepreneur from Hong Kong, is one of them. Drawn to the Greater Bay Area after graduating from university in the U.S., Ye now is the founder of Geometry Technology Co., Ltd., a company that has launched an online intelligent pet platform. Ye's platform lists pet-related service providers and product sellers in a one-stop online solution for pet owners in China.
