Description

How and when can government, industries, academia and startups leverage Blockchain technologies to enhance Smart City development?

Many business leaders still associate Blockchain with Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. In fact, there are various Blockchain technologies for different purposes, and major research firms are rapidly accelerating their evolutions. Blockchain technologies in combination with other emerging technologies -- like the internet of things, artificial intelligence, decentralized applications or web 3.0 -- have enormous potential for shaping future Smart Cities.

A Smart City uses digital technologies to promote performance, sustainability and well being, and to increase its ability to respond to citywide and global challenges (resilience). Traditional Smart City initiatives, like the Hong Kong Smart City Blueprint (https://www.smartcity.gov.hk), focus on"Smart Mobility", "Smart Living", "Smart
Environment", "Smart People", "Smart Government” and "Smart Economy”, etc. However, the potential for Blockchain to improve and impact these initatives has yet to be fully explored or realized.

Business leaders and consultants involved in Smart City initiatives, start-ups, developers, tech-enthusiasts and consultants working with Blockchain technologies beyond Bitcoin are encouraged to attend.

Join us for a dynamic evening discussion to establish an understanding of the emerging role of Blockchain in Smart City development:

- Discuss the status quo of Hong Kong in driving Blockchain enhanced Smart City development
- Ideate a further course of action for the Hong Kong Blockchain ecosystem
- Understand the difference between Blockchain applied to cryptocurrency and Blockchain
applied to Smart Cities

6:30: Registration + Networking

7:00: Introduction + Presentation from Sabine Reppert of Intent-X Limited: The difference between Blockchain in the cryptocurrency landscape and Blockchain in the Smart City landscape, best practice examples from around the world, and current limitations and trends.
