Morning Breakout – IDEATE 5: Hong Kong – Hub City 2.0: Optimising the Supply Chain for High Value Cargo
In our increasingly connected world, cities are vying to establish themselves as global hubs - the beating hearts that facilitate the flow of goods, services, and ideas around the world. These "hub cities" have become crucial command centers in the international economy, acting as vital nodes in the complex networks of modern trade and commerce. But in recent years, Hong Kong's traditional shipping industry has been on the decline. How can the city build upon its strengths to move up the value chain, transitioning to high-value cargo and logistics management hub for Chinese exports? What technological innovations can assist in this process, and what implications will this shift have on the local real estate market?
