Experts say that Hong Kong's moonshot projects, including ambitious bids for space research, are desirable but require leadership to drive interest and investment.
Private donations, government funding, and the ability to attract top global talent are also necessary.
Alibaba Cloud founder Wang Jian suggested that Hong Kong tap into China's space telescope for a central research opportunity, and technology experts agree that participating in the country's space research is Hong Kong's best chance at a moonshot project.
