Shenzhen's tech growth impresses young talents
Students from Hong Kong are seeking out the latest financial
technology developments in neighboring Shenzhen, and
actively participating in the city's finance ecosystem via summer
internships.
Although finance is one of the special administrative region's pillar
industries, the emerging fintech sector has presented the international
financial center with challenges and opportunities as technology
reshapes the market.
Shenzhen is on the way to becoming China's Silicon Valley. The South
China metropolis has nurtured more than 30,000 technology companies, and
the added value of high-tech industries in the city topped 736 billion
yuan ($108.8 billion).
A local community of young finance leaders aims to raise the
competence of fintech talents in Hong Kong and meet the surging demand
from the industry. Called Fin Society, the group organized students from
10 colleges in Hong Kong to participate in a summer internship program
at top fintech companies in Shenzhen.
