DPO's AI-focused Smart Hong Kong Pavilion showcases over 100 I&T solutions demonstrating city's technological and innovative edge (with photos)
******************************************************************************************
     The Innovation, Technology and Industry Bureau and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) are organising the fourth edition of the InnoEX at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre for four consecutive days starting yesterday (April 13). To demonstrate fruitful achievements in advancing the development of innovation and technology (I&T) and smart city successes in Hong Kong brought about by the concerted efforts of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government and industry, the Digital Policy Office (DPO) has again set up a large-scale Smart Hong Kong Pavilion at the exhibition to showcase over 100 technology solutions that benefit both the public and businesses. Through interactive experiences and on-site demonstrations, the Pavilion fully illustrates the solid progress in advancing Hong Kong's I&T and smart city development.

     During the first two days of the Pavilion's opening, officials including the Financial Secretary, Mr Paul Chan, and the Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry, Professor Sun Dong, visited the Pavilion. They were briefed by the Acting Commissioner for Digital Policy, Mr Daniel Cheung, on how the DPO has been taking the lead in steering a wider adoption of AI across government departments to deliver more convenient and efficient public services for citizens and businesses. The DPO has been working closely with the local I&T sector to actively promote the development of innovative solutions, with a view to shaping Hong Kong into a major global AI hub.

     Themed "AI+ Hong Kong", this year's Smart Hong Kong Pavilion highlights how AI is being applied across different domains in Hong Kong. It showcases I&T solutions contributed by over 20 government departments and public organisations, as well as outstanding award-winning projects by the local I&T sector and students from the Hong Kong ICT Awards, the Maker in China SME Innovation and Entrepreneurship Global Contest - Hong Kong Chapter and the Open Data Hackathon, to recognise local I&T excellence, encourage various sectors to develop innovative solutions, and promote Hong Kong's I&T achievements to visitors and experts from Hong Kong, the Chinese Mainland and overseas.

     Following are highlights of the eight zones of the Smart Hong Kong Pavilion:

"AI+ Public Services": The Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department's AI Surveillance System for Monitoring of Illegal Feeding that detects illegal feeding to enhance enforcement efficiency, and the Drainage Services Department (DSD)'s biosensing platform, Remedix, that rapidly detects antibiotic pollution in wastewater.

"AI+ Medical Innovations": The Department of Health's AI dental diagnosis project that automatically generates dental charts to enhance diagnosis efficiency, and CHIMP, a wearable electrocardiogram chest patch that monitors patient data in real time to ensure safety.

"AI+ Everyday Experience": The upgraded "iAM Smart" platform that provides one-stop personalised digital services, and the Transport Department (TD)'s AI smart glasses that assist visually impaired persons in identifying obstacles.

"AI+ Robotics Innovation": The Food and Environmental Hygiene Department's Autonomous Cleaning Robot that reduces the physical exertion of cleaning workers; the Housing Authority (HA)'s Construction Robot that uses AI to plan construction paths, enhancing construction safety; and the Water Supplies Department's Smart Inspection Robot Dog that automatically patrols and monitors waterworks facilities.

"AI+ Mobility Revolution": The TD's smart bridge inspection system that comprehensively scans bridge structures to enhance road safety, and the Airport Authority's Hong Kong Air Import SmartCollect that digitalises the cargo collection journey to enhance efficiency.

"AI+ Safety and Security": The Civil Engineering and Development Department's AI-empowered Landslip Warning System that predicts landslide risks in real time and optimises the issuance of warnings, and the Hong Kong Fire Services Department (HKFSD)'s Internet of Things Fire Detection System Pilot Scheme that immediately transmits fire alarm signals to expedite rescue operations.

"AI+ Infrastructure Development": The Development Bureau's SmartEye Co-supervision Platform that offers round-the-clock and remote monitoring of construction sites; the DSD's Flood MoXAIC that delivers real-time flood forecasts to support flood prevention and management; and the HA's AI-enabled pile foundation design that generates accurate plans and accelerates decision-making.

"AI+ Low-altitude Economy": The HKFSD's Unmanned Aircraft System Auto-pilot for Early Detection of Vegetation/Vessel Fire & Immersion that analyses videos with AI to immediately issue alerts for vegetation fires and drowning incidents, and the Hong Kong Police Force's Pilot Scheme for Operational Deployment of Drones that supports patrols to enhance community safety.

     The annual I&T mega event, InnoEX, brings together leading I&T exhibitors from Hong Kong, the Chinese Mainland and around the world to jointly promote I&T advancements and applications, and explore global collaboration opportunities. Themed "Innovate • Automate • Elevate", this year's InnoEX showcases cutting-edge technology solutions in five key areas, namely AI+, robotics, the low-altitude economy, property technology and retail technology. Interested parties from the trade can register free of charge at the HKTDC's website (www.hktdc.com/event/innoex/en).
