IIPLS 2024 Highlight
“Hong Kong has long been recognised for its infrastructure prowess. Not only do we deliver infrastructure projects with quality, we have also earned a global reputation for running and managing them. As an international financial centre, Hong Kong can help match quality projects with funding, supporting regional and global infrastructure development.”
“Under the unique advantages of "one country, two systems", Hong Kong would continue to capitalise on the privilege of enjoying strong support of the motherland and being closely connected to the world, and consolidate its position as an international infrastructure centre, uniting the world's best talent, knowledge and investment to address upcoming challenges and promote quality infrastructure development.”
“The Government is taking forward the Northern Metropolis, as well as a number of major transport infrastructure projects. The Government is committed to being an "enabler" fostering innovation and industrialisation to drive industry enhancement.”

Key Insights
Industry-city integration is the mega trend, with potential to drive GDP and employment. The Northern Metropolis is an example, to transform the industry landscape and achieve further integration of city and industry
Mr Patrick Tsang
Infrastructure development needs to be faster and more agile to capture the next waves of growth. For example, MiC adoption is particularly advanced in Hong Kong, while in the Chinese mainland, construction firms are using more robotics, which makes construction more precise and more efficient.
Ir Eric Ma
Governments are at their best when they set out a clear vision of the outcomes they want to see. For example, the Singapore government has launched a series of initiatives to support the development of the Biopolis campus to nurture a local high-value biomedicine sector.
Dr Janet Young
Aspects shaping the next generation infrastructure are items such as ESG, digital technology, diversity and results of innovations, etc. These are the reasons why some economies and companies are standing out and are more future ready than others.
Dr Paul Hu
Value is created during the design, construction and operation of infrastructure projects. What is less understood is the indirect value-add infrastructure can bring through industry cluster effects and intangible socioeconomic benefits
Prof. Heiwai Tang
An integrated PMO approach together with a digital Program Management Information System (“PMIS”) enables smarter management of the complex design and construction supply chain, delivering better project outcomes.
Mr John Batten
Clients, contractors, and consultants must move beyond transactional interactions and foster a common mindset of partnerships.
Mr Jerome Frost
Today, we find ourselves in a data-abundant environment with substantial opportunities. Effective organisation and structured management of this data across partnerships are crucial for enhancing decision-making processes to achieve our project outcomes.
Mr Paul Shepherd-Smith
Without aligned outcomes, and the organisations working hand in hand to get to a simple goal, then the partnership, as well as the supply chain, will struggle to succeed.
Mr Davendra Dabasia
Hong Kong has all the ingredients to be an International Infrastructure Centre, just as much as its International Financial Centre. It has the human capital, it has the finance, world leading investment, world leading projects and it really is a truly remarkable story.
Mr Andrew Weir, FCA, MBE, BBS, JP
Through the Building Technology and Research Institute (BTRi), we hope to leverage Hong Kong’s research and innovation ecosystem to bring valuable solutions that will enhance the capabilities of our industry in Singapore.
Mr Teck Thai Heng
Hong Kong’s proximity to Shenzhen, the ‘Silicon Valley of China’, allows local innovators to tap into a network that accelerates the development of new technologies. Initiatives like the San Tin Technopole will become essential environments for collaboration with the GBA.
Mr Jack Chan, JP
Transformational programmes led by clients in transformational market places such as Hong Kong give us the opportunity to make big step changes that introduce new and younger talent from other industries who are used to changing at pace.
Mr Ian Galbraith
Hong Kong is the only city in the world with 5 universities ranked in the QS World University Rankings top 100. That paves a solid foundation to foster close collaboration with universities who are the powerhouse for continuous scientific breakthroughs and technological solutions.
Prof. Wei Pan
As industry leaders, we must move beyond the debate of maintaining business as usual versus embracing change. Innovation is not an option; it is essential for the sustainable delivery of future projects and addressing the challenges we face.
Mr Carl Devlin
