## Hong Kong-Shenzhen data corridor: a boost for innovation Hong Kong and Shenzhen are working on a secure data transfer system, based on a "white list", to intensify cross-border cooperation. The main goal is to foster the development of artificial intelligence and the fintech sector in the region. The creation of this white list aims to ensure trust between the parties involved in the exchange of sensitive information, including biological data and samples. This approach should simplify and make the flow of data between Hong Kong and mainland China more secure. In general, secure data sharing has become a global priority, with several initiatives aimed at balancing privacy protection with the need to promote innovation and economic growth. The Hong Kong and Shenzhen initiative represents an important step in this direction, with a specific focus on the opportunities offered by AI and fintech.
