ABOUT THE DIGITAL 21 STRATEGY...
The Digital 21 Strategy is the blueprint for the development of information and communications technology (ICT) in Hong Kong. It is updated regularly to take into account technological advancement and changing needs of the society.
On 21 December 2007, the Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development announced the fourth edition of the Digital 21 Strategy. The vision of the 2008 Digital 21 Strategy is "Advancing our achievements and seizing new opportunities: building on Hong Kong's position as a world digital city." To lay the foundation for ICT-enabled development in Hong Kong in the next decade, we have identified 5 key action areas for implementation between 2008 and 2010. These key action areas include -
- Facilitating a digital economy;
- Promoting advanced technology and innovation;
- Developing Hong Kong as a hub for technological cooperation and trade;
- Enabling the next generation of public services; and
- Building an inclusive, knowledge-based society.
