(Hong Kong) 2021 Hong Kong ICT Expo

By

How do you like my “Digital Look”? Stay young and stay innovative. We should not call “IT Look” anymore as it not cool or chill enough. It should call “Digital Look” or “D-Look” these days.

Since I have seriously been engaging with the innovation and technology ecosystem worldwide 7 to 8 years ago, I feel younger and more passionate than my last 25 years in the traditional IT industry. If you would like to be younger or look-n-feel at least, stick around the innovation and tech ecosystem.

Feel really grateful and happy to be back to large-scale physical innovation and technology conferences and exhibitions in the 2021 Hong Kong ICT Expo this week and the 2021 Hong Kong FinTech Week next week. More importantly seeing my friends and partners f2f like #OpenCertHub Andy Kwok #B4B Francois Lee #HKTDC Will Li #Arical Clement Tien #CRGroup Dennis Choi #Cyberport Queenie Chang #HKSTP and #ASTRI friends, Emil Chan Paul kk Chan wilson chong and more. Lots of joy and catch-up!

See you around in the upcoming physical events. More to come like 2021 HKICT Awards Ceremony… I have a series of fully packed activities before Christmas. Cheers.

Really happy to see Roy Hung & his friends again. I met Roy a few years ago in our #Cyberport #CUPP 2016 programme. My team & I brought 50+ top university students from Hong Kong to the #StanfordUniversity in #SiliconValley to learn #FinTech & #Entrepreneurship. It was a fruitful, impactful & fun trip. Apart from what we learned from this trip, Roy & I also talked about the tasty & yummy lobsters and crabs in the Fisherman’s Wharf as well as the Ferrari from Leslie Yuen. What an experience and memory!. Thanks Leslie Yuen, Dr. Edwin Lee 李根興, Alice So and Katherine Lam for their great effort to make this happened.

Really grateful to see & feel that Roy still has the heart to innovate and be a tech entrepreneur👍 together with his friends. We were discussing another potential and exciting venture last night. Keep it going and add oil💪✊. You have my full support🤝🙌.

(Hong Kong) Takeaways from Fireside Chat in the Launch of Corporate Innovation Index

By

Leaders in Hong Kong shared experience on how corporates can innovate in this challenging time & seize the opportunities in the #DigitalEconomy. It was a fireside chat moderated by Patrick S Lee & I in the launch of Corporate Innovation Index program organized by #CUHK & #HKGCC.

Key takeaways:
1. Corporate innovation is about margin, sustainability & opportunities.

2. Engaging new generation is important for corporate innovation. Reverse mentorship is very effective to empower senior management on innovation.

3. The more challenging time we are in, more innovation we need (not an excuse to give up the priority of innovation)

4. Passion is a key for driving innovation

5. CEO cannot delegate innovation. He or she has to drive it & align with the company’s strategy with it. Bottom up is as equally important as top down.

Grateful to have all these leaders in innovation & technology ecosystem to join the forum and appreciate their active participation. Francis Ngai #IBM, Andrew Ling #SAP, Eugene Hsia #HKSTP, Stella Kwan #Cyberport, Eunice Chan #HangSengBank, Raymond Cheng former C-suite #HSBC, Matthew Chan
#JardineRestaurantGroup, Larry Poon #CUHK & more.

We look forward to collaborating with all to deliver our Corporate Innovation Index for Hong Kong.

Raymond Cheng, the former CIO & COO of HSBC APAC, was here today. He said, “The more difficult time we are in, the more innovation we need.” I believe it said it all for us under the tough time of the Covid-19 & heavy digital disruption across industries & economics.

Start-ups Ecosystem

(Hong Kong) Elite Start-ups Series – ESG Matters 益思智綠色金融科技集團

By

An elite start-up should focus on a scalable market with industry and social impact as well as run by passionate & creative young #enterpreneurs. 益思智綠色金融科技集團 #ESGMatters is one of the growing start-ups from #Cyberport heading to this direction.

#ESG becomes not only a nice-to-have thing for corporates especially listed companies, but also a mandatory requirement by stock exchanges & regulators worldwide. It enhances the investability of companies if they are ESG compliant. For commercial, sustainability & environmental perspectives, ESG makes a lot of senses.

ESG Matters was founded by a veteran Glenn Frommer with decades of experience in #Sustainability. It is now run by a team of passionate, smart & young talents with a heart on environmental and social impact.

I am very pleased to see what they have been doing & am very honored to be one of their industry & tech advisors. Yesterday, we had a very fruitful session at Cyberport & exchanged some new ideas on ESG, #FutureFit, business opportunities & technological design of their innovations.

I love their cartoons & characters on the white board. Can you recognize who’s who compared to the real photos? That’s a lively & creative culture of a startup.
