2 Background Smart city development can improve people s daily lives and make Hong Kong a more liveable city. HK Government has just completed the consultation on the Smart City Blueprint, and the responses from various sectors are very positive. The government will invest $700 million to push ahead with the following key infrastructure projects for smart city development. Smart City Consortium (SCC) is a Non-government and Non-profit organization. They found to facilitate the development of Smart City in Hong Kong. On 26 January, 2016, the Hong Kong Smart City Consortium signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Austrian Technology Corporation in Hong Kong, witnessed by Mr Nicholas Yang, Secretary for Innovation and Technology, Dr. Claudia Reinprecht, Austrian Consul General in Hong Kong, and Ir. Allen Yeung, Government Chief Information Officer. Mr. Eric Yeung, Convener of Smart City Consortium signed the document with Tino Terraneo, Chief Executive Officer of Austrian Technology Corporation. The signing of Memorandum of Understanding will facilitate Smart City information exchange between Austria and Hong Kong. Austria has tremendous experience and outstanding achievements in the development of Smart City, Hong Kong could learn from their experiences. To support Hong Kong smart city development and enhance the closer collaboration between Austria and Hong Kong on the development of smart cities, bmvit, FFG, Advantage Austria, ATC and SCC sincerely invite Austrian experts from a wide cross-section of smart city technology providers, consultants, research institutes and technolgoy groups. Its vision is to empower industry to nurture the nation's competitive advantage through smart city technologies.

4 Mr. Daniel Navarro Managing Director, Swarco Shanghai Speakers Daniel has been working in the ITS sector for almost 20 years, having various leading positions ranging from project management, business development and management for two famous international ITS companies: Telvent and Swarco. He is currently working with Swarco, one of his responsibly at Swarco is the business development of the ASEAN region. Mr. Navarro has many year experiences on urban and interurban traffic management solutions. He is also very familiar with the Asian market, especially China where he has been working more than 15 years. Swarco is an international traffic technology group providing the complete range of products, systems, services and solutions for road safety and intelligent traffic management. With almost five decades of experience in the industry, the corporation supports the growing mobility needs of society with turnkey systems and solutions in road marking, urban and interurban traffic control, parking, public transport, infomobility and street lighting. The topic will be a brief description of Swarco s Urban Traffic Management solutions and specially the Roadworks and Hazard Warning VMS Trailer For more information of Smart Street Lighting and emobility, please see: Mr. Marcus ULLMANN AustriaTech, Future of Mobility The Austrian Federal Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology (bmvit) Mr. Ullmann is also responsible for the European Strategy on Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS), a milestone initiative towards cooperative, connected and automated mobility. In many respects today's vehicles are already connected devices. However, in the very near future they will also interact directly with each other and with the road infrastructure. This interaction is the domain of Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C- ITS), which will allow road users and traffic managers to share information and use it to

5 coordinate their actions. This cooperative element enabled by digital connectivity between vehicles and between vehicles and transport infrastructure is expected to significantly improve road safety, traffic efficiency and comfort of driving, by helping the driver to take the right decisions and adapt to the traffic situation. The transformation processes in mobility make it necessary to respond actively and at the same time flexibly to new developments. The requirements and conditions in order to make traffic safe, efficient and environmentally friendly are complex and the needs of different target groups are varied. Furthermore, it is necessary to make positive use of current transformation aspects (digitalisation, decarbonisation, service orientation and new safety requirements) for the design of our mobility system. AustriaTech consciously and actively participates in shaping the future of mobility for the benefit of everyone. It requires a high degree of coordination and synergies between policy makers, the industry, businesses and research to ensure a responsible use of the resources available. The use of new technologies and intelligent transport systems contributes significantly to improving traffic management, supporting individual mobility decisions and making our mobility system environmentally friendly. For more information about Smart Mobility, please see: For more information about AustriaTech, please see: Mr. Xiao Li S::CAN Messtechnik GmbH S::CAN is the inventor, technology leader and world s leading supplier of UV-Vis spectrometer probes for online water quality measurements. Parameters: BOD, COD, BTX, TOC, DOC, NO3, NO2, NH4, K+, Cl2, F, TSS, ph, redox, conductivity, O2, O3, H2S, fingerprint and contamination alarm. All s::can instruments are extremely robust, cost-efficient and virtually maintenance-free. Thus, s::can technology has marked the beginning of a new era in water quality monitoring. i::scan - the miniature multi-parameter spectrophotometer probe will revolutionize online water quality monitoring: From very cost sensitive applications down to highly resolved Smart Water Grids, in small unmanned plants, or even in single building protection. The new i::scan combines the high performance of a multi wavelength spectrophotometer with even lower costs than of simple photometers! For more information please see:
