***********************************
The E&M I&T Day 2025, themed "Green Productive Forces: Empowering Smart and Green E&M, Driving New Quality Development", comprised seminars and exhibitions, providing the trade with a platform for interactive exchanges and experience sharing on the application of innovation and technology (I&T) in decarbonisation and optimisation of electrical and mechanical services.
Delivering an opening speech by video, the Secretary for Environment and Ecology, Mr Tse Chin-wan, said that in order to align with the country's dual carbon targets, the Government will continue to implement the four major decarbonisation strategies, namely net-zero electricity generation, energy saving and green buildings, green transport and waste reduction, and will also support innovation and technology projects through the Green Tech Fund. The Government will also actively deepen co-operation in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) to promote technological innovation, continue to leverage on the distinctive advantages of enjoying strong support of the motherland and being closely connected to the world to serve as a demonstration platform for green productive forces and to promote sustainable development and international co-operation.
The Director of Electrical and Mechanical Services, Mr Poon Kwok-ying, said in his welcoming speech that being the innovation facilitator of the Government, the EMSD is committed to supporting various departments in applying new technologies to enhance services. Through close collaboration with the trade and the academia, the EMSD also assists various departments in pursuing goals such as smart cities and low-carbon transition, thereby promoting the development of new quality productive forces. Mr Poon also said that the EMSD will play an active role to serve as a "super connector" and "super value-adder" worldwide to promote the I&T achievements of the GBA.
The E&M I&T Day 2025 brought together 28 Hong Kong and Mainland exhibitors, and attracted over 400 participants from sectors including I&T, the electrical and mechanical trade, post-secondary education and public organisations from the GBA, as well as more than 100 000 viewers for the online live streaming.
