Programme Highlight


Nowadays, the world is always talking about smart cities. Most governments and stakeholders are striving to make their cities smart. Most attentions have been paid on IT, robotics, communications, artificial intelligence etc. However, little attention has been paid on our environment and especially on waste management. The more modern is our cities, the more wastes will be generated. Hong Kong is one of the typical examples. Modern, efficient and hygienic way of waste collection becomes more crucial to a nice and comfortable living environment in smart cities.
