Report

IT Division annual conference and dinner 2008
(Collaboration with IT industry in the PRC: opportunities in
Hong Kong and annual dinner)

25 April 2008 witnessed the 3rd annual conference and 18th annual dinner of the IT Division. The two events were officiated by the opening speeches of Mrs Rita Lau, JP, Permanent Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development (Communications and Technology) of the HKSARG and Mr. Anthony Tan, CEO of Hong Kong Science and Technology Park respectively. As usual, red wine, singing and laughter concluded this big day of the IT Division.

“Collaboration with the IT industry in PRC: Opportunities for Hong Kong” was the theme of this year’s conference. The national as well as Shenzhen and Hong Kong’s IT development and strategy were reviewed. The conference then focused on the means to promote the core competitiveness of individual cities including software quality, IT alignment and outsourcing. How Hong Kong built up its current competitive advantages had attracted the most attention from the 136 delegates, and in particular the 80 mainland participants. One speaker attributed this to the culture of complaints of Hong Kong people as checks and balances! So let’s keep it up! 

Mr Anthony Tan, on the other hand, reminded us where to seek for angel investors and the capability of HKSTP in incubating IT firms. This was followed by the 181 audiences' endurance of the singings by our guests and committee members. The greatest surprise was probably the first lucky prize winner who received the biggest mini-PC (a DVD player instead)!

Lastly, we would like to thank our sponsors, the dedication of the organizing committee and all participants who have made this annual party a success. See you next year!
