Gathering more than 1,000 guests from the government, industry and academia, the annual LSCM Logistics Summit took place on 10 October 2025 under the theme “Port Community System: Steering Innovation and Collaboration in Logistics”. The Summit served as a dynamic platform for exchanging ideas and sharing industry updates, with distinguished speakers offering insights on how the smart port development could help to enhance efficiency, sustainability, and competitiveness in the logistics sector.

As the preparation work and development of the Port Community System (PCS) are in full swing, support from the industry is crucial to the enhancement and implementation of the system. Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) were signed among LSCM, government departments, and renowned organisations at the Summit to strengthen the support and collaboration for a better PCS. The first MoU was signed among LSCM, Transport and Logistics Bureau and Chu Kong Shipping for the collaboration of the three organisations in the application of the PCS to facilitate the tracking of cargoes and the exchange of data. The second MoU signed between LSCM and GS1 Hong Kong signifies the two organisations’ collaboration in exploring application innovation of the One-Data-Multiple-Declarations service on the PCS and product info data service. This will facilitate higher accuracy and efficiency of trade declaration for the port community. The third MoU signed between LSCM and OnePort was about the two organisations’ collaboration in the application innovation for a barge manifest service on the PCS which will facilitate barging in customs declaration to enhance the efficiency and productivity of the logistics industry. And the MoU signed between LSCM and Sengital Limited aimed at fostering continuous R&D, marketing and technology transfer to facilitate the use of AI agent technologies in providing value-added services for the PCS.

To promote technology adoption and foster collaboration, the Summit featured a technology exhibition showcasing LSCM’s latest Smart City and logistics technologies. The showcases this year included the PCS, Po Shan Groundwater Regulation System, the project “Protecting the Ecological Environment in Construction Areas with an AIoT System”, Cross-boundary Public Services (CBPS) Kiosk, Automated Hill Fire Surveillance System, Multi-Robot Collaborated Object Transportation System and Detachable Follow-me Robot. LSCM’s partner organisations also presented their in-house technologies and those developed in collaboration with LSCM at the exhibition.

The LSCM Logistics Summit 2025 brought together experts from diverse backgrounds to explore how innovation and technology is shaping the future of logistics in Hong Kong and beyond.

At the Asian Logistics, Maritime and Aviation Conference (ALMAC) hosted by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), LSCM organised the “Port Community System x LSCM Maritime Summit 2025” and “Hong Kong Belt and Road Low-Altitude Economy Cooperation Conference 2025” on 18 November 2025, gathering the government officials and industry leaders to explore the Port Community System (PCS) and innovative technologies that are fostering the development of the logistics and maritime industry.
