The Chinese University of Hong Kong is located close into Hong Kong Science Park. Hong Kong Science Park provides a campus-like environment of 330,000 square metres marketed for high-technology enterprises. It is designed to accommodate companies of all sizes and stages of development and to promote interaction and innovation at both local and global level.

Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTPC) has signed an agreement with The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) today enabling companies in Hong Kong Science Park to share CUHK’s advanced biotechnology facilities. This landmark agreement is expected to boost the biotechnology industry in Hong Kong, as established biotech companies and start-ups alike based in Science Park can utilise the facilities of CUHK to conduct sophisticated biotechnology research and development .''
