Background of the establishment of the hospital:

As one of the outstanding universities in China, HKUST is constantly exploring new knowledge and bravely climbing the scientific peak. At the same time, it also very much hopes to establish a base for spreading knowledge and innovative technology in the mainland and make contributions to the country's economic and social development. As early as 1999, HKUST participated in the urban construction and development of Guangzhou through the co-construction of Nansha Information Science and Technology Park with Guangzhou Municipal People's Government and Fok Ying Tung Foundation, and was the first Hong Kong university dedicated to the economic development in the Mainland.

Founded in 1977, Fok Ying Tung Foundation has been committed to supporting and developing education, science and technology, culture and economic development in the Mainland. The late Mr. Fok Ying-tung was far-sighted and had high hopes for Nansha, and he was determined to build Nansha into a vibrant modern city and a platform for scientific and technological education cooperation between Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta region.
