The French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Hong Kong was proud to host the Smart City Forum 2025 on 16 June, bringing together experts, innovators, and policymakers to explore this year’s theme: "Merging Technology with Heritage for Sustainable Cities".

The event sparked dynamic conversations around how emerging technologies can complement cultural heritage to shape resilient and inclusive urban environments. The discussions reflected Hong Kong’s unique position at the crossroads of tradition and innovation.

This year's edition welcomed an exceptional line-up of speakers, including –

Each speaker brought a unique perspective, addressing topics such as smart infrastructure, green architecture, climate resilience, and the integration of digital solutions within historical urban contexts. Their insights demonstrated the potential of collaborative thinking in driving sustainable urban transformation.

We extend a warm thank you to our Master of Ceremonies, Cynthia Mo, for her engaging moderation throughout the day, and to our dedicated Task Force members, Laurent Pelletier and Jonathan Chiu, whose invaluable leadership helped shape this impactful programme.
