Hong Kong startups are capturing business opportunities in Shenzhen -- one of the most dynamic cities in the Greater Bay Area. With easier access, incubators and other support policies, the number of startups is growing. Let's hear more stories from these young entrepreneurs.
Tang Yanhua, a 27 years-old Hong Kong girl who just came to Shenzhen in this April, has started her own brand creative studio named "DreamWorks".
TANG YANHUA HK YOUTH ENTREPRENEUR "The new policy of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area offers a great opportunity and channel especially for the cultural creativity industry. If we plan to launch a Made in China brand in the global market, the people of Hong Kong may help a lot in this aspect."
Since last year, the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council announced two batches of measures offering convenience to Hong Kong people on the mainland in education, employment, business and travel. The most timely and helpful measure is phasing out the employment permit requirement for Hong Kong people working on the mainland. 
LIU TAO, DIRECTOR OF BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT QIANHAI SHENZHEN-HONG KONG YOUTH INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEUR HUB "The Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Youth Innovation and Entrepreneur Hub has so far incubated 158 start-ups from Hong Kong over the past three years, among which half of them have got the funding. With the goal of supporting start-ups, the E-hub has functioned as a vital role in facilitating these young people to make the first step."
During the past five years, there are around 30,000 companies are born here every year on average. Amounts of young start-ups in the fields of intelligent hardware, mobile networks and cultural innovation have benefited from the new policy.
