Seminar: "IT Matters 2008, Pearl River Delta - Collaborative Innovation"

China's economic and political rise has created an important opportunity for Hong Kong, which has a unique advantage as a gateway to and from China. To fully benefit from this advantage, it is critical that Hong Kong strategically collaborates and integrates with the economies of the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region. In this effort, innovation will take a key role.

Information and communications technology (ICT), as an enabling technology and an industry, is vital in helping Hong Kong remain competitive in a global economy by increasing knowledge, promoting innovation and nurturing talent. These three areas have been highlighted by Chinese Premier Wen Jiao-bao as the key elements for the future development of Hong Kong.

Meeting the challenges faced by Hong Kong requires strategic planning and action. Hong Kong needs to take the lead to cultivate thriving creative industries in the region. It also must stay competitive in the development of its human expertise, which is critical to exploiting the opportunities of its close partnership with the Pearl River Delta. And, Hong Kong needs to integrate its resources with those available in the region to provide high-level services to the wider world.

As one of the most innovative industry sectors in a knowledge-based economy, ICT will contribute more over the next five years to help Hong Kong move in a direction that will make these goals achievable.

We are honored to have invited a team of prominent business leaders, renowned scholars and international industry experts to share with us their visions for the future of the ICT industry.

The Forum and Delegation has got high recognition from Tianjin Government. The Delegation will be received by the Secretary (Head) of the Tianjin Binhai Development Zone and senior officers of the relevant Government Departments. The HK Delegates would also able to meet the leaders of the key IT enterprises at the Forum and visits. This is an uncommon occasion for the HK delegates to meet all those controlling senior government officers, industry leaders and potential business partners together within this one day and two nights delegation events.
