綠色創科日 機電署一直與學術界及業界協作，並利用「機電創科網上平台」，促進和推動機電方面的創新科技研發和應用。今年8月6日，環境局與機電署合辦首個以「綠色」為主題的創科日，展示超過30個香港及內地參展商在節能及可再生能源方面的創新及科技(創科)成果，並邀請香港及內地的專家、以及客戶部門代表就「綠色轉型」、「明日低碳城市」、「可持續創新驅動力」及「智能環境大數據」四個專題進行演講。是次活動吸引逾700名來自本港和大灣區其他城市的政府部門、公營機構、創科和機電業界，以及大學和科研機構等界別的人士參與，藉此向不同持份者和客戶部門推廣綠色新科技的應用，以及介紹嶄新的節能創科解決方案，以推動低碳轉型。 環境局局長黃錦星先生在致歡迎辭時表示，環境局已分別透過《香港都市節能藍圖2015～2025＋》及《香港氣候行動藍圖2030＋》，為香港定下節能及減碳的目標，而善用創科將有助減緩氣候變化。政府會擔當主導角色，與社區攜手推動節能措施和發展可再生能源。 繼今年6月與五所本地大學和七間科研機構簽署合作備忘錄後，機電署亦在綠色創科日分別與廣東省科學技術協會和廣東省生產力促進中心簽署合作備忘錄，首次將創科協作延伸至大灣區，促進粵港創科交流。此外，我們亦於8月中旬與廣東省科學院簽署合作備忘錄，務求開發更多創科解決方案，支援客戶部門應用創新科技，藉以提升服務質素及效率。
The EMSD has been collaborating with the academia and the trade, and leverages the E&M InnoPortal to promote and drive the research and development and application of E&M innovative technologies. On 6 August 2019, the Environment Bureau (ENB) and the EMSD jointly organised the first green-themed I&T Day, showcasing the innovation and technology (I&T) achievements in energy conservation and renewable energy of more than 30 local and Mainland exhibitors. Experts from Hong Kong and the Mainland as well as representatives from our client departments were invited to present on four topics, namely, Green Transformation, Tomorrow Low-carbon City, Sustainable Innovative Drivers and Big Data for Smart Environment. The event attracted over 700 participants from government departments, public organisations, I&T and E&M trades, as well as universities and research institutions in Hong Kong and other cities in the Greater Bay Area (GBA), with a view to promoting the application of new green technologies and introducing advanced energy-saving I&T solutions to various stakeholders and client departments in order to drive low-carbon transformation. In his welcome speech, the Secretary for the Environment, Mr. Wong Kam-sing, said that the ENB has set out energy-saving and carbon reduction targets for Hong Kong in the Energy Saving Plan for Hong Kong’s Built Environment 2015~2025+ and Hong Kong’s Climate Action Plan 2030+ respectively, and smart applications of I&T would help mitigate climate change. The Government will play a leading role and work with the community to promote energy-saving initiatives and renewable energy development. Following the signing of memoranda of co-operation (MoC) with five local universities and seven research institutions this June, the EMSD also signed the same with the Guangdong Provincial Association for Science and Technology and the Guangdong Productivity Centre respectively on the Green I&T Day to extend I&T collaboration to the GBA for the first time and foster I&T exchange between Guangdong and Hong Kong. Moreover, we signed an MoC with the Guangdong Academy of Sciences in mid-August to develop more I&T solutions in a bid to support the application of innovative technologies by client departments for the enhancement of service quality and efficiency. |
