The Secretary for the Environment, Mr Edward Yau, and the green tech mission from Hong Kong continued their trip to Europe in Cambridge, England, today (April 30, UK time) to learn more about European experiences in the development and promotion of green technologies. Mr Yau and the delegates visited Cambridge Consultants and Ricardo at Cambridge Science Park in the morning to learn about their research and development in clean tech and low-carbon vehicles.
Cambridge Science Park, the oldest and most prestigious science park in the UK, is home to more than 100 companies, the majority of which are involved in scientific research and development. Cambridge Consultants is an engineering company specialising in innovative product development including renewable energy efficient products and energy management systems, whereas Ricardo provides engineering solutions and low-carbon automotive product innovations including electric vehicles (EVs).
The party will later attend a working roundtable hosted by Deloitte, one of the founders of Cambridge Cleantech.
