"The construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area must seize new opportunities, transform momentum into innovation, and become the primary productive force." Zhang Yansheng, chief researcher of the China International Economic Exchange Center , pointed out that the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is entering an era of scientific and technological innovation and institutional innovation, an era of narrowing urban-rural gap, regional gap and social distribution gap, an era of green development becoming a universal form, an era of building a higher level of open economy, an era of promoting high-level market connectivity, inclusiveness and sharing.

Fudan University Senior professor of liberal arts and dean of the School of Economics Zhang Jun believes that the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is probably the best urban agglomeration for economic division of labor. Hong Kong is the financial center, Guangzhou is the commercial center, Shenzhen is the science and technology innovation center, Dongguan and Foshan are manufacturing centers, and Macao is the leisure and tourism center. However, the construction model of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is not to form a "province and city", but to focus on better playing the role of Hong Kong and Macao in deepening the opening-up pattern. One country, two systems is crucial for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area to better utilize the unique advantages of Hong Kong and Macao and build a new pattern of comprehensive opening up.

Zhang Jun mentioned that Hong Kong should make full use of the hinterland of the Bay Area. Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Modern Service Industry Cooperation Zone construction should focus on the two key points of "expanding zone" and "reform and opening up"; we should promote the main line of moderate diversified economic development of Macao and accelerate the construction of Hengqin Guangdong-Macao deep cooperation zone.

Shenzhen University China Special Economic Zone Research Center Professor Yuan Yiming said that the future development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area should revolve around the country's grand strategy and build a world-class agglomeration center for scientific and technological elements. This is an important tool and action for future development to implement national strategies. "How to enable our mechanism to connect with Hong Kong and Macao to form a flow combination of scientific and technological innovation elements between the two places, whether Hong Kong can play its role and exert its international conditions and international influence."

Dean of the Institute of Regional Opening and Cooperation of Sun Yat-sen University and Professor of the Hong Kong-Macao Pearl River Delta Research Center of Sun Yat-sen University Mao Yanhua believes that now the country is building a unified large market, and how to play it well in the Greater Bay Area as an area where international rules and domestic trajectory are connected, and better building a high-standard market system is the direction that needs to be explored in the next step.

Dean of the School of Social Sciences of the University of Macau and director of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Research Center of the University of Macau, said that if the Greater Bay Area wants to give talents a better scientific and technological innovation ecological environment, it needs more venture capital, venture capital, angel fund and incubators to encourage young people to start businesses in order to form a better atmosphere and truly make the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area a science and technology innovation center.

In addition, Wang Zhongmin, chairman of the Shenzhen Institute of Financial Stability and Development, pointed out that finance, digitalization, and low-carbon green constitute the three-dimensional structure of the pyramid. This structure has the stability of a triangle, so there is a unified market. The development of each dimension is infinite. The Greater Bay Area is working hard towards the depth, breadth and new dimensions of development.
