It is my great honor to have been elected as the Chairman of LT Division for Session 2022/2023.  First, I must express my heartfelt gratitude to our Past Chairman – Ir Dr Paul Tsui for his leadership, guidance and invaluable contributions to the Division. I would also like to thank our former and current committee members for their active participation and unwavering support. Their contributions have been crucial to the smooth operation and rapid development of this relatively new Division. 

Smart Mobility is an important pillar in the Smart City Blueprint.  As Hong Kong is moves toward the goal of becoming a Smart City, new initiatives to enhance our travel experience, information dissemination/sharing, connectivity, automation; and new applications driven by open data, digitization, AI and big data analysis will emerge.   

The Division will continue to play its role in inspiring innovative solutions; exchange professional views with the authorities and key stakeholders; and provide opportunities for members of our industry to work collaboratively and shape the future of logistics and transportation development in Hong Kong.

The LT Division will also be involved in the promotion of smart mobility and modern logistics through technical seminars, visits, workshops and social/network events organized in the coming Session. Through our close collaboration with tertiary institutions, one of our priorities is to nurture and encourage more young talents to join the Division and the industry.

There are many challenges in the road ahead. However, I am confident that with the enthusiastic dedication and commitment of our members, our planned activities will help our members gain more insight into the latest trends and technological development in the industry and create inspiration for our members. I would therefore like to call on your continued support and active participation for our upcoming events. 

Your ideas and suggestions on how the Division can grow and improve are always welcome.  T I sincerely hope I can meet you in the upcoming activities organize by the L&T Division.

Ir Charles H T So
