HK-INC Explores Collaborative Strategy for a Safe Cyberspace

Representatives from major internet infrastructure and service providers, information security and information technology associations, information security products and services providers, and Government officials today (16 March 2012) converged at the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC) to explore collaborative strategies to create a safe cyberspace for Hong Kong.

Convened by HKPC, this event is its latest “Hong Kong Industry Network Clusters” (HK-INC) consultation session to explore the challenges, new opportunities and development strategies for Hong Kong industry. Held regularly, the theme-based HK-INC aims to gauge the views of industry on issues of relevance to their long-term development.

Mrs Agnes Mak, Executive Director of HKPC, said, “The meeting agreed that the public and private sectors should step up efforts to strengthen cooperation, in addition to enhancing local and global coordination to safeguard information security in Hong Kong. We would summarize the comments expressed by the industry and communicate with the Government to help facilitate the formulation of strategies to ensure a safe cyberspace. We would also forge closer ties with our partners to address the looming security threats.”

Previous HK-INC meetings on domestic sales, Guangzhou-Hong Kong cooperation, business inheritance and sustainability, as well as on industry sectors including environmental management, creative, watch, information and communication technology, critical components, and toys were convened with participants from the Government, trade and industry organizations, business and SME associations.
