The Green in Prop+Con – Matching Day, organised by Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP), was held in May 2024 to foster collaboration between the building and innovation and technology (I&T) communities on sustainability-related innovations. During the event, shortlisted participants demonstrated their ideas—covering topics such as environmental, social and governance (ESG) data management; sustainable materials; tenant engagement; and nature-based innovations—to 300 visitors, corporate partners and representatives of supporting organisations.
The Matching Day saw close to 200 counts of business matching conducted, with the aim of facilitating the trial-and-adoption process through collaboration. Additionally, a panel discussion offered insights into sustainable financing, with speakers representing Bank of China (Hong Kong) and Hang Seng Bank.
