Cyberport and the Hong Kong Science Park

Overseas visitors to the conference had the chance to visit two of Hong Kong's premiere high-tech corridors. First we paid a visit to Cyberport, which hosted the conference. Located along the southwest coast of the island, Cyberport is home to businesses working on cutting edge multimedia content and telecommunications services. Far to the north of the island in the New Territories, we then visited the Science and Research Park, which incubates business in a range of high-tech areas, including precision engineering and biotechnology.
