Our Hong Kong Foundation

Our Hong Kong Foundation is a Hong Kong think tank established in 2014 by former chief executive Tung Chee-hwa.

In the University of Pennsylvania's 2016 Global Go To Think Tanks Report, Our Hong Kong Foundation ranked the highest amongst all Hong Kong-based think tanks[2] and listed in the Think Tank to Watch in 2017 achievement category.[3]

On 28 September 2023, Tung Chee-hwa stepped down as chairman of Our Hong Kong Foundation and stayed as the honorary chairman. Bernard Chan succeeded his position as chairman.[4]

Political view

Given the establishment by Tung Chee-hwa, a vice-chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), Our Hong Kong Foundation may have political views biased towards the Chinese Communist Party and the Hong Kong government, as suggested by some media.[5]

Publications

The Foundation maintains a wide-ranging news website, ThinkHK.[6]

Other research and advocacy publications include (in approximately chronological order):

  • Maximizing Land Use to Boost Development, Optimizing Housing Resources to Benefit All[7]
  • The Ecosystem of Innovation and Technology in Hong Kong[8]
