VTC and SCA launch first Professional Diploma in Smart City—enhancing industry talent competencies
Jun 2019

VTC and Smart City Academy (SCA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on 19 June 2019 to launch the first Professional Diploma in Smart City. Smart city development has become increasingly popular around the world. The Hong Kong Government has greatly emphasised its commitment to smart city initiatives. An initial investment of HKD 700 million is designed to drive key infrastructure projects related to the innovation and technology needed to improve transport, healthcare, building, education and the environment. These innovations will lead to an improved quality of life for all residents. To help facilitate this, it is vital to nurture local talent to enhance their professional skills. This move will help optimise resource usage of smart city applications and sustain the development of the smart city. The Professional Diploma is designed to provide specific training to equip learners with innovative design thinking and well-rounded knowledge by adopting smart technologies such as Big Data, the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) for urban development and enhancement. This initiative highlights the dedication and commitment of both VTC and SCA to promote and support smart city development in Hong Kong.
