It was named “Technology and Innovation Park of the Year – Asia 2012” by the leading financial magazine World Finance in recognition of these unique possibilities and for being at the forefront of scientific and technological development. “The Hong Kong Science Park is therefore the ideal location for our new Application Development Center,” commented Babl.
