Hong Kong's contribution

The crusade for renewable energy and sustainable solutions will be an enduring signature trend of this era worldwide. The Belt and Road, rebranded as the Green Silk Road, pools all the collective wisdom - talents, expertise, leadership, contacts and funds - Man contends.

Hong Kong's high-caliber universities are keenly aware of pivoting their studies and education on the most pressing and zeitgeist challenges, renewable energy and sustainable living included. The Belt and Road Advanced Professional Development Program in Power and Energy, co-launched by PolyU and Xi'an Jiaotong University, State Grid Corporation of China and Hong Kong Electric in 2018, has so far attracted nearly a thousand energy professionals from up to 30 countries and regions, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. The five-day technical training, practice exchanges and collaborative innovations unite these global elites in consolidating energy transition and energy security. Hong Kong makes its presence felt on the Green Silk Road through its power of rallying and education, says Man.

Infrastructure projects in the developing countries along the green route are on a mammoth scale, involving prohibitive expenditure. As Hong Kong boasts having the world's freest and most stable currency exchange, the international financial hub is a natural magnet for investment and equity financing, notes Michael Zhang Zhenyu, director of the Hong Kong office of Sinomach - CMEC's parent company.
