河套深港科技創新合作區位於香港特別行政區北部與深圳市中南部跨境接壤地帶，面積3.89平方公里。其中深圳河南側的香港園區面積約0.87平方公里；深圳河北側的深圳園區面積3. 02平方公里。兩個園區一河之隔，擁有福田口岸和皇崗口岸兩個連接深港兩地的陸路口岸，是深港科技創新合作最直接的對接點。

自2017年深港兩地明確在河套開展科技創新合作後，河套深圳園區已吸引了香港科技大學等5所高校共10個優質科研項目落地。2023年8月，國務院印發《河套深港科技創新合作區深圳園區發展規劃》（以下簡稱《規劃》），這為合作區發展帶來新機遇。

2024年1月，河套深港科技創新合作區深圳園區發展署（簡稱河套發展署）正式成立，作為深圳市政府直屬事業單位，負責統籌推進深圳園區建設發展，承擔深港科技合作、科技體制機制創新、開發建設、產業發展、運營管理、科技服務等職責。
