In an effort to promote technological innovations and to boost Hong Kong's competitiveness in order to benefit the general public, EMSD is organising the EMSD Summit – Imaginovate Hong Kong in the coming November. Experts and scholars from different parts of the world are invited to the forum to share their experience and fruits of research so as to aid our client departments and inspire innovation in E&M industry practitioners. Together, we will explore the development of Hong Kong in the electrical and mechanical engineering aspects in the next 50 years with the aim of transforming Hong Kong into a world-class city.

The EMSD Summit – Imaginovate Hong Kong, scheduled to be held at the Hong Kong Science Park on 17 November 2016, is one of the key events to celebrate EMSTF’s 20th anniversary. The Secretary for Development, Mr. Paul Chan, is invited to officiate at the event.

Themed "Imaginovate Hong Kong", the forum looks at the latest development of future city from different perspectives including buildings, transportation, energy, home, healthy living and sustainable development, such that the industries would be inspired to improve future quality of living with innovative technology and build a better Hong Kong together.
