Various stakeholders, including government agencies and data service providers, will be involved, and educational seminars will be organised to share insights on data utilisation.
The Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC) and the Shenzhen Data Exchange Centre (SDEC) have partnered to foster data exchange and collaboration between Hong Kong and Shenzhen. That partnership aims to promote data interconnection between the two cities, develop data element markets, and support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in utilising data for business growth and digital transformation.
Additionally, the organisations will focus on building a data ecosystem that encourages innovation and collaboration around data-driven solutions. Moreover, they plan to explore initiatives to advance the digital economy in both regions, creating new opportunities and enhancing their competitive edge. The collaboration will involve stakeholders such as government agencies, data service providers, traders, and SMEs, with HKPC and SDEC combining their expertise to drive these efforts forward.
Furthermore, HKPC and SDEC will organise seminars and briefings to engage stakeholders and share knowledge on leveraging data for growth. These sessions will provide valuable insights into how businesses can utilise the growing digital economy and enhance their data-driven capabilities. As a result, both organisations are committed to advancing regional cooperation in data exchange and innovation, thereby contributing to developing a stronger, more connected digital ecosystem.
