The conference was opened by Professor SUN Dong, Director of the Innovation and Technology Bureau. Professor Sun pointed out that Hong Kong is actively promoting the development of the digital economy and smart city, and the government, enterprises, institutions, and even ordinary citizens have increasingly high demands for cybersecurity. China’s “14th Five-Year Plan” clearly supports Hong Kong’s construction of an international innovation and technology center, and cybersecurity is the key to ensuring this goal is achieved. The Innovation and Technology Bureau just released the “Hong Kong Policy Declaration on Promoting Data Circulation and Protecting Data Security” last week, proposing a total of 18 specific measures in five categories, including strengthening cybersecurity protection, in order to better coordinate development and security and support the development of Hong Kong’s innovation and technology, digital economy, and smart city.
