    The Development Bureau (DEVB) has recently announced the establishment of the Geospatial Lab (GeoLab) to promote the use of spatial data and encourage the public to make use of spatial data in developing mobile applications. The young generation and start-ups are among the primary targets of the GeoLab.

    As selected through an open tender, the GeoLab is operated by the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals (TWGHs) and supported by Smart City Consortium (SCC). The Lab is located at Millennium City I in Kwun Tong.

    The “Establishment of Geospatial Lab-cum-Webinar” took place on May 10, with the Welcome Address delivered by Ms Bernadette Linn, Permanent Secretary for Development (Planning and Lands). The guest speakers were (see above group photo from left) Mr Albert Su, Chief Executive of TWGHs and Project Director of GeoLab; Ms Winnie Shiu, then Head of the Spatial Data Office; Professor Anthony Yeh, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Hong Kong Academy of Sciences, and Chair Professor of Urban Planning and Geographic Information Systems of the University of Hong Kong; and Dr Winnie Tang, SCC’s Founder and Honorary President.

    開發試行e健行應用程式重啓跨境商貿
    Trial on a Universal eHealth Pass to Restore Cross-Border Business

    Image

    疫情爆發以來,包括香港政府在內的各國政府紛紛施行出入境檢疫隔離措施,地區之間的正常往來被切斷。目前,如何安全地開放境內外出行成為恢復經濟的重點之一,香港急需結合國際社會目前的通行做法,積極利用數碼科技的跨地域、高效率、低成本的優勢,突破跨境旅遊,促進商業活動正常開展。

    SCC、香港公匙基建論壇(HKPKIF)及亞洲公匙基建聯盟(APKIC)正利用香港現有的數碼基建,研發手機應用程式,用戶的檢測結果或疫苗注射紀錄一機在手,便可成為「通行證」,突破跨境旅遊。上述組織的高層代表3月10日約見創新及科技局局長薛永恒先生及政府資訊科技總監林偉喬先生等政府官員,爭取官方對有關應用程式研發工作的支持。

    有關「e健行」的構思及運作機制請參閱最新一期至《智城》。

    Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, governments of various countries including Hong Kong have implemented entry-exit quarantine measures, and normal exchanges between regions have been cut off. For facilitation of international travel, some regions and organisations such as IATA and European Union have issued their own digital health passports containing the Covid-19 testing results and vaccination records. There is an immediate demand for a universal app which should be able to access the testing results and vaccination proof issued by other organisations.

    SCC, Hong Kong Public Key Infrastructure Forum (HKPKIF) and Asia PKI Consortium (APKIC) plan to develop an “eHealthPass” app by using PKI and Digital Signing Technologies. Senior representatives of the three organisations held meetings on March 10 with Mr Alfred Sit, Secretary for Innovation and Technology Bureau (ITB), and Mr Victor Lam, Government Chief Information Officer (GCIO), to seek support from the government on the project.

    Please refer to above link of latest issue of Smart Vision for more details about the concept and mechanism of the eHealth Pass app.
