Smart City: In Hong Kong, the elderly population reached 1.57 million in 2023. The number is projected to further increase to a daunting 2.74 million in 2046, accounting for approximately 33.5% of Hong Kong’s total population. SINOVATED TECHNOLOGY’s one-stop intelligent monitoring system for eldercare centers, “SAFERIN,” integrates three core functions of health risk assessment, safety monitoring, and workforce management in institutions. It assists the nursing staff’s workload and care pressure, eases the workforce needs of eldercare centers, and enhances institutions’ service quality and operational efficiency.

Innovative Finance: The ETBadge, which Eternal Technology invented, adopts blockchain technology, which allows learners to present reliable and authentic academic and professional skills certifications to potential employers. The properties of blockchain make such certifications challenging to tamper with and counterfeit, and their authenticity is independent of verification by a central institution.

Health Technology and Pharmaceuticals: Gense Technologies’ portable health screening device, Mediscan, can be used for preventive screening and at-home monitoring of chronic diseases, focusing on the liver, lungs, kidneys, and other areas. It is suitable for home use, eldercare services, and clinics. |

Intelligent transportation: The electronic lock developed by the Logistics and Supply Chain MultiTech R&D Centre can help reduce the need for customs officers in two places to repeatedly inspect the same batch of goods, improving cross-border customs clearance efficiency.
The electronic lock has been used since 2016 at 63 customs clearance points in Guangdong Province and Hunan Province in mainland China, together with 13 clearance points in Hong Kong, assisting mainland and Hong Kong Customs in implementing the “One Lock Across Borders” initiative. |

Intelligent industry: Shanghai Leading Technology’s microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition system is an advanced material preparation equipment used to grow large-sized, high-quality films, coatings, or crystals in semiconductor manufacturing, optoelectronics, coating preparation, and optical coatings. Applications such as diamond growth play a key role. |
