SKYCITY Brings Hong Kong Another Remarkable Showcase In Innovation

By

As a practitioner in the #innovation and #technology industry for 30+ years, I am so grateful to see that our Hong Kong is going to have a global showcase on how technology and innovation can empower a #SmartCity. #SkyCity is an impressive project to build another landmark for Hong Kong. Something that we Hong Kong people can be proud of again https://lnkd.in/ethaW9vu.

Smart airport, top shopping mall and commercial buildings (#11Skies https://www.11-skies.com/ or #Retailtainment from New World Development), world-class Expo exhibition centre, international hotels plus all the major scenic spots in the Lantau Island like #DisneyLand, and more importantly, providing a seamless experience for the key stakeholders of our #ecosystem including customers, tourists, visitors, merchants, tenants, startups and many others from the Greater Bay Area #GBA and all major cities around the globe. Appreciate the great leadership from Adrian Cheng #NWD.

Today, I moderated an expert panel to discuss how technologies could create that seamless customer experience for our SkyCity. There are 2 more panels on #ProfessionalServices and #Tourism in the forum. It drew over 10,000 offline and online audiences to attend today’s forum. Thank you so much for our panelists Chris Au Young #HKAA, Vivian Lo #CathayPacific, Paul Sin #NWD, and Francis Fong #HKITF
https://lnkd.in/erTCjUmH.

Here is my quote for the event:
“SKYCITY is a global showcase of how innovation and technology can generate a joyful experience for worldwide visitors. Emerging technologies are coming to us every day. The sky is the only limit on how innovation and technology can make a difference to customers and merchants in the SKYCITY. Come and experience it!”

Appreciate the effort from our MC Akina Fong and those behind the scene from #BrunswickGroup #K11 #NWD Quinton Chan, Mercury Wong, Ivan Chan, Vincci Hui 許煒森 and many others. Let’s collaborate together to build a smart SkyCity.

By

As a member of the GS1 HK’s IoT Industry Advisor Council, I am glad to join the 16th Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao IoT Technology Application Summit co-organised by GS1 HK today in 3 locations, mainland, Hong Kong and #Macau, simultaneously.

Appreciate the effort from Anna Lin, Corinna Fung, Julian Sin#GS1HK, Kingsley Wong #OGCIO, Ivan Lam#ASTRI, 龍勝當 #澳門電腦學會，and certainly counterparts in Guangdong. Glad to see many industry experts there as well Andrew Ling, wilson chong, Vincent So, Ir Dr Venus Lun, Harman Ng, Kinsen Lee, Bryan Peng(彭文俊)Alex Chung 鍾孝揚 and many others.

Great to see the collaboration across 3 regions on IoT applications on various industries. To make our Greater Bay Area or GBA work, we need smart money flow (FinTech and RegTech), smart logistics flow (AIOT) and certainly smart information flow (AI and Big Data). All these flows have to be protected by CyberSecurity and Blockchain.

Thanks for Anna’s leadership and her GS1HK team effort. Look forward to having more collaboration in these areas and contributing more in this alliance across the #GreaterBayArea#GBA in 2022 and beyond.

Thanks Thomson Lai AECOM’s Asia Digital Leader for inviting me as a keynote speaker to get the passionate participants even more inspired for the hackathon.

Sharing in HK TownGas TechTalks on Citizen Data Scientists

By
Towngas is a great learning organization with open culture to keep their teams innovative in the Digital Economy. They have been organizing Techtalks regularly on topics like IOT AI 5G MachineLearning to educate their colleagues at all levels updated on Innovation. They made use of lunch time & Skype to make these available to most staff in different locations. Great effort there. It was my honour to share my experience on BigData with them. Thanks for GM of Corporate IT Susanna Shen inviting me for such a great sharing session. We talked about a few key innovations to make use of big data including Philips,  Michelin, Siemens, Amazon and Alibaba. I use life examples to make this topic understandable to audiences with different backgrounds. I believe it is the key as TechTaks do not have to be RocketScience. Rather, it should bring out how technology relates to what the audiences care like customer experience. Everyone needs to be Citizen Data Scientist and high DataQuotient to make intelligent use of data to compete in today’s digital world. We also discuss Preventive Maintenance on stoves, pipes, Smart Meters to do Smart City AlgorithmaticTrading.  Great to have the discussion to trigger more inspirations. Keep it going TownGas to create more values to us. Thank you.

IoTConference 2019

By

GS1HK IoTConference 2019 attracted 600+ guests to participate it. Top government officials from ITB OGCIO, LEGCO Charles Mok Cyberport Peter Yan STP Albert Wong & GS1HK Anna Lin Andy Bien officiated the opening ceremony. Huawei Cisco Alibaba have shared about SmartCity & 5G.

As the Chairman of OpenCertHub www.opencerthub.com, it was my honour to talk about the theme “The Engine of AI Economy: Certified Professionals for Apache Projects CPFA“. My key takeaway for audiences was DQ (DataQuotient). Why?

In the last decade, IQ & EQ are necessities for people to perform well in their career. In the next decade, DQ will be another critical competence for everyone. We need to be CitizenDataScientist. OpenCertHub aims to strengthen the DQ of business & technical leaders & professionals in order to stay ahead of their competitions.

OpenCertHub provides an intelligent & robust examination platform for professionals & leaders to authenticate their AI/Big Data & open sources competence thru acquiring the globally recognized Certified Professionals for Apache Projects (CPFA) qualification. For more, download my presentation here. https://lnkd.in/fnf-rcT

Why Big Data Matters for Smart City? – Interviewed by HK GS1

By

I shared my view in an interview conducted in GS1HK Annual IoT Conference 2019 on how IOT, AIOT, 5G and BigData work together to empower business and technology leaders and professionals with high DataQuotient or DQ so that they can lead and compete in the DigitalEconomy. In the AI Era, 30% of all current jobs will be automated by AI by 2030 according to PWC. At the same time, 30% of our workforce in leading enterprises need to be a CitizenDataScientist according to Gartner. Do you get the logic from these 2 numbers and what does it mean to you? Our view is that DQ will be as equally important as today’s IQ, EQ and major language skills, such as, English, for the success of everyone in our new workplace of Digital Economy. OpenCertHub‘s mission is to democratize data literacy to the mass and transform the current workforce to be citizen data scientists, data engineers, data scientists and more in open source environment. Find out more here www.opencerthub.com Thanks again for Hong Kong GS1 and Anna Lin Andy Bien leadership for making this happen and empower HK to be a data-drivenSmartCity.
