EMSD E&M InnoPortal
In supporting the policy direction related to the development of Innovation and Technology (I&T) in Hong Kong in the 2017 Policy Address, the E&M InnoPortal was launched to facilitate the strengthening of collaboration between government departments and public bodies with the I&T sector to encourage the application innovative technology to improve services and support smart city development.
