The Policy Address outlines accelerating the development of the Northern Metropolis University Town (NMUT). Dr Christine Choi, Secretary for Education, stated that establishing the NMUT is not solely about increasing teaching space for institutions. Institutions must explore ways to integrate industry development with the academic sectors, as well as approaches to collaboration among other institutions to introduce new elements to the Northern Metropolis. Prof. Christopher Chao, Designated Senior Vice President (Research and Innovation) of PolyU and Director of PReCIT, responded that PolyU expects to establish joint laboratories with newly introduced key enterprises in the NMUT, with the aim of training postgraduate students and supporting companies in developing research projects.
