Laservall: A Key Catalyst of New Industrialisation at the Heart of the HKSTP I&T Powerhouse

The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government is committed to advancing new industrialisation in Hong Kong with an industry-oriented approach to drive diversified economic growth. Comprehensive support is proactively provided to accelerate the development of strategic industries through initiatives such as the "New Industrialisation Acceleration Scheme" (NIAS), "New Industrialisation Funding Scheme" (NIFS), and the upcoming "Pilot Manufacturing and Production Line Upgrade Support Scheme (Manufacturing+)".

The HKSAR Government is actively connecting high-potential local and overseas companies to seize the promising opportunities of new industralisation in Hong Kong. In August 2024, a delegation from the HKSAR Government visited Laservall's Smart R&D and Manufacturing Centre in Korea. The visit aimed to introduce various support measures to Laservall and strengthen collaboration on I&T between Hong Kong and Korea in strategic industries, including life and health technology, artificial intelligence and data science, advanced manufacturing, and new energy technology.

James Kang, Chairman of Laservall, said: "Laservall is proud to be a park company of HKSTP. We are a technology-focused company with significant R&D investment to tailor innovations for our clients globally. This investment will drive advancements in AI-driven automation, real-time troubleshooting, and efficiency improvements." The company also aims to double its global R&D workforce by 2026 and expand it sixfold by 2028, reinforcing Hong Kong as its global R&D headquarters, with potential plan to set up an advanced production base in the city."

Andrew Kim, CEO of Laservall, said, "The trend of utilising high-precision laser technology for camera modules is essential and rapidly gaining momentum across various industries. Hong Kong offers direct access to the vast Mainland market and international connectivity, supported by a robust I&T ecosystem, as well as favourable policies and measures for new industrialisation from the HKSAR Government and HKSTP. This gives us the confidence to expand our investments in the city, positioning us as pioneers of innovation for the next global success."
