Hong Kong Productivity Council

The Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC) is a key organization in Hong Kong focused on promoting technological innovation and industrial advancement. Recent news highlights its role in addressing emerging challenges and opportunities in the region. Specifically, Edmond Lai Shiao-bun, chief digital officer of the HKPC, recently warned about the increasing threat of AI-related cyberattacks, noting a record high number of cyberattacks in Hong Kong in 2025 and a tripling of detected system vulnerabilities. This underscores the HKPC's relevance in bolstering digital security and resilience. Furthermore, the HKPC's expertise is likely to be crucial as Hong Kong aims to deepen its technology and industry links under the nation's broader economic blueprint, leveraging its strengths as an international financial center. While not explicitly mentioned, the HKPC's role in supporting the certification mechanism for electric mobility devices, as announced by the Secretary for Transport and Logistics, can be inferred, given its focus on technological standards and innovation.
