Under the Climate Action Plan, Hong Kong is committed to carbon neutrality by 2050. Corporates are looking for ways to reduce carbon emissions by adopting latest technologies and change management culture. Likewise, technology firms are capturing the opportunities to develop green and sustainability solutions by leveraging Hong Kong’s competitive advantages in strong R&D infrastructure and talent resources, supportive government policy and incentives, and friendly business environment to innovate green solutions. The first half of this webinar will be presentations on overview of green transition trend, foundation in Hong Kong and pioneering corporate case; and the latter part will be panel discussion to unveil how international and domestic technology firms can leverage Hong Kong’s competitive advantages to develop new solutions.
