This summit is not just a gathering. It is a reminder that through unity, shared experiences and innovation, we can build cities that stand as testaments to progress, connectivity, and boundless possibilities. I am eager to share ROSHN’s insight on how smart technology can enable the future of urban living and hear from other experts leading this transformation to understand how we, as industry leaders, can continue evolving the ways in which we  build resilient cities for the future”

As participants come together to explore effective strategies, the Summit showcases the impact of collaboration in shaping the economic and urban landscapes, driving meaningful change. FII PRIORITY Hong Kong serves as a testament to proactive innovation and a beacon of impact-oriented thought leadership in a rapidly evolving economic region.
