My Sustainability Goals for 2024:

Hong Kong has the perfect infrastructure in place for data transparency between organisations. Great IT infrastructure. A wealth of experience as a data broker between the east and west. Well-used public spaces. Most organisations have access to so much information in their pipeline without realizing it that can help not just them strengthen and improve but give their customers a richer experience as well.

I hope to see Hong Kong “seize the moment” with emerging technologies such as large language learning models to become a shining beacon for the world to admire in terms of data transparency and collaboration. Together we can make our workplaces safer, our supply chains more transparent, and our environment more resilient.
