Second meeting of Hong Kong/Guangdong Expert Group on Co-developing a Smart City Cluster held Mr Wong said in the meeting that following the inaugural meeting of the EGSCC in Guangzhou last year, members of the Expert Group had dedicated themselves to advancing the related work items. They successfully promoted key initiatives such as Hong Kong/Guangdong unified identity authentication, Cross-boundary Public Services, cultural tourism, transportation interconnection, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) 5G infrastructure deployment and large-scale commercialisation as well as the cross-boundary flow of data elements. These efforts made significant achievements for the Hong Kong/Guangdong smart city cluster. He expressed hope that the Digital Policy Office (DPO) and the Guangdong Provincial Administration of Government Service and Data could continue to maintain close co-operation to promote the synergistic digital development of the GBA city cluster, and contribute even greater efforts to the joint construction of a world-class city cluster.
Officials from relevant bureaux and departments, including the Innovation, Technology and Industry Bureau, the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau, the Development Bureau, the DPO, and the Transport Department, attended the meeting on behalf of the HKSAR Government.
