The Talent List of Hong Kong was first drawn up in 2018 with a view to attracting high quality talents in an effective and focused manner to support Hong Kong’s development into a high value-added and diversified economy. Upon the review in 2023, the List currently comprises 51 professions under 9 industry segments.
