Hong Kong Exporters’ Association Reveals Internationalization Potentials of Local Innovation

Owing to the city's robust international trade and efficient global logistics network, the I&T sector is set to enjoy favorable conditions in developing its export business. The internationalization of Hong Kong's I&T industry is a growing trend. To tap into this trend, the community is set to proactively engage in international trade exhibitions, connecting with traders from across the globe.

Various companies participated in the Project and displayed their innovations at Entrepreneur Day, covering five major categories from Smart City, Smart Home & Living, Health Technologies and Medicine, Smart Transportation to Smart Industry. I&T prototypes on display include -

1. Smart City: The Automated Concrete Cube Testing System by the Logistics and Supply Chain MultiTech R&D Centre (LSCM) automates concrete cube testing procedures, including concrete cube curing, weight and dimension measurement, and compression testing.
2. Smart Home & Living: The Wrinkle-Free, Flexible and High Contrast Screen for Portable Display by Nano and Advanced Materials Institute (NAMI) and Aiaray (Hong Kong) is the world's only collapsible, large, and portable display. The display is only 2.5 pounds in weight and folds to the size of a book within seconds.
3. Health Technologies and Medicine: Developed by the PolyU team, Liverscan is a non-invasive real-time ultrasound imaging-guided system for liver stiffness and fibrosis measurement. The system allows early diagnosis of liver fibrosis and treatment monitoring to prevent progression.
4. Smart Transportation: The E-Lock developed by LSCM helps increase efficiency in customs clearance between Hong Kong and Guangdong, saving customs personnel time and effort in checking the same cargo repeatedly. Since its launch in 2016, the Single E-lock Scheme leveraging the E-lock is now applicable in 63 clearance points in Guangdong and Hunan provinces and 13 clearance points in Hong Kong.
5. Smart Industry: Solar Fresh, a solar panel coating invented by Sambo Technology, can decompose organic pollutants under sunlight and keep the surface of solar panels clean. Compared to uncoated panels, those with Solar Fresh coating have a 20% higher capacity in power generation.
