IoT, eCommerce and Smart City’s Opportunities in the Belt-and-Road Region
 Hon Frankie YICK, JP, Legislative Councillor (Transport), The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region
The strategic initiative of development “The New Silk Road Economic Belt” and “The 21st Century Maritime Silk Road”, also known as “One Belt One Road”(OBOR) was proposed by President Xi Jin Ping in 2013. The initiative is to foster connectivity and cooperation by linking up China with European countries through Central and Western Asia, as well as Southeast Asia and Africa. The OBOR helps stimulate the economic development of the region and promote international trade and logistics. Hong Kong should further build on the competitive advantages and make use of the information technology platform to capitalize the opportunities surrounding OBOR and to maintain Hong Kong’s position as a leading international and regional logistics and transportation hub.

Opportunities of 'Belt and Road Initiative' - A Human Capital Perspective
Dr Dorothy CHAN, BBS, Immediate Past International President, The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport / Deputy Director, HKU School of Professional and Continuing Education
China’s Belt and Road Initiative has presented unprecedented opportunities for over 60 countries along the modern Silk Road. To date the Silk Way has been rightly focused on infrastructure development and the investment that is needed on rail, road and port construction. The value of all these investment will bring new dimensions to the movement of goods and people, a new wave of multimodal products, various supply chain operators and different types of customers.
With branches in 33 countries, The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport include a large number of member countries along the Belt and Road. They have different visions on what the Belt and Road opportunities would mean from the country’s perspective and there are useful ideas for sharing.
Regional co-operation is a necessity and a key development which is less talked about is the importance of professional resources to support the massive and long term Belt and Road Initiative. Transport and supply chain professionals will find their place in important board room decisions and we need to build up the human resources and the awareness on the importance of professional development in competing for opportunities under the Belt and Road Initiative.
