This year, the E&M I&T Day was held virtually from 19 to 20 July, with the themes of MultiTrade integrated approach for Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing works (MiMEP) and Smart Engineering Solutions. Representatives from various sectors shared their views and experiences on innovative technologies on invitation. Staff of the EMSD also took this opportunity to introduce the award-winning projects in the International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva this year.
Following the signing of memoranda of co-operation (MoCs) with five local universities and seven research institutions in 2019, the EMSD has signed MoCs with three academic institutions including the Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong Metropolitan University and Vocational Training Council respectively in the E&M I&T Day this year to establish strategic partnership and jointly support government departments in applying innovation and technology (I&T). The EMSD will, in collaboration with its I&T strategic partners, continue to match solutions to the I&T needs of stakeholders through the E&M InnoPortal and provide venues for projects to conduct field trials as appropriate.
