Speaking at the opening ceremony, the Under Secretary for Development, Mr David Lam, said that Multi-trade integrated Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MiMEP) technology combines advanced engineering, digital and automation technologies, which not only embodies the realisation of technological innovation but also enhances production efficiency and product quality. This aligns perfectly with the national strategic goal of accelerating the development of new quality productive forces. Promoting high-quality development requires the concerted effort of the entire society. This symposium provided an opportunity for industry partners to exchange experiences and insights on the adoption of MiMEP.

The Permanent Secretary for Development (Works), Mr Ricky Lau, said in his keynote speech that the Government adopts step-by-step policy directions to promote the adoption of MiMEP by the industry through pilot schemes, incentives and mandatory measures. At present, numerous public and private projects have adopted MiMEP on a pilot basis. The Government will continue to provide incentives such as subsidies under the Construction Innovation and Technology Fund and floor area concessions, and will issue technical circulars to mandate the adoption of MiMEP for designated buildings under the Government's Capital Works Programme, with a view to enhancing productivity in the construction industry, project quality and site safety, as well as lowering construction costs.

MiMEP employs the modular integrated method in a factory to assemble multi-trade electrical, mechanical and plumbing (MEP) components into a single assembly module, which is then transported to a construction site and combined with other modules to complete the installation of MEP trades in an effective and efficient manner. The adoption of this technology can streamline work procedures and reduce installation time on-site effectively, help alleviate labour shortages in the construction industry, reduce the impact on the installation process due to weather conditions and site constraints, and further improve construction site safety and project quality.

The symposium featured thematic presentations on the application of MiMEP technology and related exhibition booths, showcasing the merits of applying the technology in new and existing buildings, infrastructure and district cooling systems, as well as relevant requirements, floor area concessions and more.

EEB and GACC sign Memorandum of Understanding and Agreement on co-operation between Guangdong and Hong Kong

The Environment and Ecology Bureau of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government and the General Administration of Customs of the People's Republic of China (GACC) signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Supporting the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Equine Industry Development, and the Cooperation Agreement on the Requirements of Inspection, Quarantine and Hygiene of Hong Kong Aquaculture Products Exported to the Mainland today (November 29), with a view to further enhancing co-operation between Hong Kong and Guangdong in respect of the equine industry and the export of Hong Kong aquatic products to the Mainland.

The Secretary for Environment and Ecology, Mr Tse Chin-wan, said, "The MOU will further enhance the exchanges and co-operation between the equine industries of Hong Kong and Guangdong and contribute to the transformation and upgrading of the country's equine industry. The Agreement will help Hong Kong's aquaculture industry explore the Mainland market, in line with the HKSAR Government's Blueprint for Sustainable Development of Agriculture and Fisheries to expand the sales outlets of fisheries products for the aquaculture industry and promote its sustainable development."

The MOU will further enhance co-operation between the Mainland and Hong Kong in quarantine and customs clearance arrangements of horses, forage feed, biological products, etc; support the construction and development of the Hong Kong Jockey Club Conghua Racecourse, and deepen co-operation and exchanges in the field of laboratory technology between the two sides.

On the export of aquatic products, the Agreement will expand the variety of Hong Kong cultured aquatic products to be exported to the Mainland, and set out clearer inspection, quarantine and hygiene requirements for the related cultured aquatic products, as well as establish a co-operation mechanism.
