In collaboration with EY and The Greater Bay Area IT Industry Association, HKUST Institute for Emerging Market Studies is proud to present the seminar on “Data governance of smart cities in the Greater Bay Area: Opportunities and challenges”. We will feature a dynamic dialogue among policymakers, scholars and industry practitioners, held in conjunction with the 6th anniversary of the unveiling of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) Development Plan. You are cordially invited to join this insightful discussion on shaping the future of smart cities in the GBA.

The integration of advanced digital technologies into urban management is critical to the development of smart cities in the GBA. These technologies offer immense potential to improve urban functions such as traffic management, energy efficiency and public safety. However, they also bring significant challenges, including protecting privacy, ensuring data security and addressing jurisdictional complexities. The speakers will explore effective data governance models and strategies that address these issues while supporting sustainable and equitable growth in smart cities and discuss opportunities for Hong Kong.
