Objectives:

Manufacturing, Industrial & Systems (MIS) Annual Conference is the annual flagship event of HKIE-MIS Division. Themed “Digital Transformation - Challenges and Opportunities for Engineering and Construction Industry”, the Conference brought together distinguished speakers from various industries to share how to gain an advantageous position through digital transformation. The role of digital technology is rapidly shifting, from being a driver of marginal efficiency to an enabler of fundamental innovation and disruption.  Digitalization is the cause of large-scale and sweeping transformations across multiple aspects of business, providing unparalleled opportunities for value creation and capture, while also representing a major source of risk. Business leaders across all sectors are grappling with the strategic implications of these transformations for their organizations, industry ecosystems and society.

While it is clear that digital technology will transform most industries, there are a number of challenges that need to be understood. These include factors such as the pace of changing customer expectations, cultural transformation, outdated regulation, and identifying and accessing the right skills, among others. These challenges need to be addressed by industry and government leaders to unlock the substantial benefits digital offers society and industry. Definitely, digitalization is one of the most fundamental drivers of transformation ever and, at the same time, a unique chance to shape our future. We could find insights through the Conference.
