Jointly hosted by the HKSAR Government and the Hong Kong Council of Social Service, and co-organised with the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation, the Gerontech and Innovation Expo cum Summit (GIES), is one of the largest gerontechnology public education events in Hong Kong.
Since its launch in 2017, GIES has solicited support and aroused attention from different parties. Not only the general public can explore and learn about various gerontechnology and solutions in GIES, the elderly and rehabilitation service sector is also mobilised and has become more willing to adopt gerontech. It also facilitates the development of several pilot services and projects.
Besides, GIES provides a platform drawing together stakeholders to engage in dialogue and collaboration for broader adoption of gerontech. It further helps drive policy changes as well as societal and economic developments in Hong Kong for meeting the challenge brought about by population ageing and disability.
