On May 14 2025, EOC Chairperson Ms Linda LAM Mei-sau led a delegation to Shenzhen to engage in exchange with Guangdong Disabled Persons’ Federation and Mainland organisations on disability affairs in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA).

In the run-up to the 35th National Disability Day, the delegation visited the Shenzhen Longhua District Employment & Entrepreneurship Base for Disabled Persons to explore the functions and applications of the latest assistive technologies. The visit allowed the delegation to connect with organisations supporting people with disabilities in the GBA, including Hong Kong entrepreneurs who employ individuals with disabilities on the Mainland, as well as representatives from Hong Kong-based NGOs who expanded their work to the GBA. During the visit, the EOC delegation discussed issues related to assistive technologies and ways to expand opportunities for people with disabilities.
