The Challenge
Carbonless has joined forces with the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation to launch the Hong Kong Green Tech Challenge, designed to become a collaborative platform for key stakeholders in the city. Our first initiative is dedicated to the theme of Green Buildings.
By engaging leading technology companies to address industry-specific challenges, we are here to catalyse innovation, accelerate the adoption of green technologies, and drive the transformation towards a more sustainable built environment.
Creating a collaborative platform for Hong Kong’s real estate and construction stakeholders to help decarbonise the city with scalable, innovative solutions.
Hong Kong, Asia’s Green City
Hong Kong is already well known to the world as an unrivalled international gateway to the Greater Bay Area, Greater China and all Asia. The city is now also ready and well positioned to become a global hub for green technology and finance.
As the Real Estate and Construction industry is a cornerstone of Hong Kong’s economy and also a critical piece of the city’s decarbonisation puzzle, we dedicated the first Hong Kong Green Tech Challenge to the sector with the Green Building edition.
Hong Kong Climate Action Plan 2050
As announced in Hong Kong Climate Plan 2050, the city committed to achieving carbon neutrality before 2050. This is the target and goal that our Challenge is designed to support and turn into an opportunity for innovation, partnerships and investment.
Buildings account for approximately 90% of Hong Kong’s total electricity consumption, and over 60% of the city’s carbon emissions arise from electricity generation for buildings. Achieving positive change is a monumental task, but it is also a unique, transformational opportunity for companies equipped with the right solutions. The Hong Kong Green Tech Challenge is a collaborative platform to unlock value in the decarbonisation process by identifying relevant projects, applicable solutions delivered by investable tech companies.
