We can learn from Europe's transformation experience, particularly how they assist businesses in seizing the opportunities presented by sustainability, setting goals, and enhancing their value propositions to various stakeholders. Companies must begin to gain a deeper understanding of all aspects of their operations and value chains, while also paying attention to their impact on the natural environment. Just as businesses are striving to meet the demands for financial disclosures and ESG reporting, another wave of requirements will follow, necessitating more specialized knowledge."Video:https://hk.finance.yahoo.com/video/rethink-hk-創辦人兼行政總裁chris-brown-香港可持續發展最新進展-042802607.htmlMore than 100 Hong Kong designers participated in the event in Asia, connecting local designers with the global community.HKFDA Chairman Mr. Kevin Yeung shared his insights on the current fashion design industry in Hong Kong, stating, "Over the past 13 years, with the support of the Hong Kong government's Creative Industries Development Office, the association has organized numerous significant events. These activities, held in Hong Kong, Shanghai, the Greater Bay Area and other regions in Asia, have attracted over a hundred Hong Kong designers, as well as designers from Denmark, Thailand, and mainland China. The aim is to promote Hong Kong design and foster connections among designers from different regions."Video:https://hk.finance.yahoo.com/news/hkfda-楊棋彬、張潔雯：探討時尚產業的未來發展-051956154.htmlHong Kong's geographical location facilitates a convergence of Eastern and Western cultures, positioning it as an international hubHKFDA Curator & Project Director Ms. Bonita Cheung said, "In Hong Kong, we have many talented and renowned fashion designers, such as Benny Yeung, Barney Cheng and Kev Yiu, as well as designers from mainland China. I believe Hong Kong has always been regarded as one of the most cutting-edge and international of markets. Its geographical location makes it a vital hub for cultural exchange between the East and West. In fashion design, haute couture represents the pinnacle of art and craftsmanship, making this combination particularly fitting."When discussing the relationship between fashion design and sustainable development, Ms. Bonita Cheung stated, "Juxtaposed is a project we have been undertaking since 2017, aimed at integrating various aspects of sustainability. When curating exhibitions and events, I typically do not reveal the underlying concepts directly, as I hope to encourage deeper reflection from the audience after their visit. Therefore, we explore how to achieve a closed-loop system in fashion, encouraging the use of recycled fabrics and the deconstruction and reconstruction of old inventory, off-season items, and even second-hand clothing."Video:https://hk.finance.yahoo.com/video/hkfda-楊棋彬-張潔雯-探討時尚產業的未來發展-044837487.htmlIt is inspiring to be located in Hong Kong, and there is hope for the integration of artificial intelligence technology across various sectors in the cityDigital Domain Holdings Limited Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Mr. Daniel Seah Daniel Seah expressed his thoughts on Digital Domain's establishment in Hong Kong, stating, "We are fortunate to have received the support of the Hong Kong government. After extensive consideration and analysis, we believe that Hong Kong is the best place among many options. Imagine a powerful chatbot paired with a lifelike avatar, with a wide range of commercial applications, from education to hospitality, and even in elderly care and healthcare. If bank customers could interact with a virtual persona resembling Anita Mui, Leslie Cheung or Teresa Teng, it would undoubtedly bring about significant improvements in efficiency across various industries in Hong Kong. Therefore, we need to invest in talent and new technologies and build a more robust infrastructure system for the new generation."Video:https://hk.finance.yahoo.com/video/數字王國謝安-虛擬人像技術在ai時代的戰略與願景-041000355.htmlPete Wong, General Manager of Yahoo Asia, shared his insights by saying, "Following its premiere, this 'Yahoo!
