Hong Kong Logistics and Supply Chain MultiTech R&D Centre

Digital Economy Summit 2024

12 April 2024

The Digital Economy Summit (DES) 2024 organised by the Government of the HKSAR and Cyberport was held on 12 – 13 Apr 2024. As one of the co-organisers of the Summit, LSCM partnered with Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC) to organise the Smart Industrialisation & Supply Chain Forum (Forum) on the first day of the event. With the theme of "Transformative Technologies for Smart Manufacturing & Supply Chain Optimisation", the industry experts explored the immense potential of cutting-edge technologies in revolutionising the manufacturing industry and optimising supply chain operations, as well as boosting productivity and fostering sustainable practices, at the Forum.

At the event, LSCM also showcased two logistics technologies developed by the Centre, namely the Electronic Power Assist Trolley System and the Tele-control Warehouse Stackers Using 5G, at the Experience Zone. This allowed the guests to gain first-hand experience of the innovation which could be adopted for enhanced efficiency and productivity.
