Visit to the Sino Inno Lab

We enjoyed a fruitful visit to the Sino Inno Lab at Yuen Long on 8 November, which gave members a unique opportunity to explore the latest PropTech innovations and developments.

Members got a firsthand look at a wide range of cutting-edge PropTech, ConTech – including solutions for 3D mapping and scanning, green construction materials, and other advanced innovations showcased in Sino Inno Lab's dynamic sandbox platform. This platform supports local and overseas innovators and tech startups in developing deep tech solutions and growing Hong Kong's innovation ecosystem.

We also explored the Lab's newest innovation and technology network, the Spark, which is designed to facilitate connections between innovators and business opportunities within the Northern Metropolis and the Greater Bay Area. Exciting times ahead!

This visit took place as part of the Real Estate and Infrastructure (REI) Committee’s meeting. Thank you to Sino Inno Lab for having us, and to REI Committee Chairman,John Siu, for leading the visit!

Northern Metropolis Tour

Members of the Real Estate and Infrastructure Committee, and a few other Chamber committees, joined an insightful tour of the Northern Metropolis in the afternoon of 22 August, which was organised by the Northern Metropolis Co-ordination Office. The visit kicked-off with a briefing by Vic Yau, Director of the Northern Metropolis Co-ordination Office, who shared the overall development of the Northern Metropolis, as well as a tour of the City Gallery’s latest Northern Metropolis exhibition gallery. Members then set off for a tour of several key sites in the Northern Metropolis region, including San Tin Technopole.

The tour presented a unique opportunity to delve into the latest governmental plans and progress concerning the Northern Metropolis, and facilitated exchanges between the business community and the Government about its future.

Site Visit - The Henderson

At a committee meeting held on 28 June, members were given an exclusive tour of the Henderson, a new 36-storey landmark in the city.

The visit provided an opportunity for members to learn about the smart and sustainable construction practices and modern workplace principles implemented in the Henderson, which help to promote low carbon living. Members were also given a preview of the all-glass rooftop banquet hall which offers a panoramic view of the Central and Admiralty skyline

Special thanks to Committee Vice-Chairman Ball Wong for facilitating the visit and ensuring its success.
