深圳虛擬大學園 Shenzhen Virtual University Park
Strategic base on Mainland
立足深圳 連繫全國
HKMU has invested over RMB 32 million to establish the Institute, making it Hong Kong’s first self-financing tertiary institution that has been admitted to the Shenzhen Virtual University Park (SZVUP). The SZVUP, established by the Shenzhen Municipal People’s Government as an innovative demonstration base for collaboration among industry, education and research, integrates the resources of established universities, both local and overseas. Prof. Kwok says the aim of setting up the Institute aligns well with the National 15th Five-Year Plan, which supports Hong Kong’s development into an international innovation and technology hub. It also serves to provide more space as HKMU diversifies its research profile. “We made great efforts, step by step, to secure the space for the Institute,” he notes. “It did not come easy. We are very determined to develop HKMU SZRI into a vibrant, sustainable research platform and deliver positive impact to society.” HKMU has been committed to advancing research and development in recent years. Since filing its first batch of applications for research outcomes made under its auspices in 2023, HKMU has acquired or sought patents for more than 70 items. Last year, the University secured its first intellectual property licensing agreement, allowing a health-care firm based in the United Kingdom (UK) to further develop an early detection technology for prostate cancer for clinical application.
都大投入超過 3,200 萬元人民幣成立深研院，是首間進駐 深圳虛擬大學園的香港自資院校。深圳虛擬大學園由深圳 市人民政府以一園多校、市校共建模式建設，集合了國內 外知名院校的資源，作為創新型產學研結合的示範基地。 郭教授說，深研院的成立，正好配合國家「十五五」規劃 下，香港建設為國際創新科技中心的戰略部署；而隨着都 大科研項目日趨多元，深研院亦可提供所需空間。 郭教授強調：「深研院的空間都是大學『從零到一』，一 步一步爭取回來，得來不易。我們很有決心，將都大深研 院發展成持續運作、充滿活力的研究平台，為社會帶來裨 益。」 事實上，都大近年積極投入研究工作。大學自 2023 年開始 就研究成果申請專利，至今擁有和已提交申請的專利超過 70 項，並於去年與一家英國醫療公司簽訂大學首項技術授 權協議，讓大學研發的技術可用於開發前列腺癌的早期檢 測工具。
