Over two-thirds of our home—the BluePlanet—is covered by oceans. They also make up more than 90% of habitable space and are a treasure trove of resources. How can we harness innovation to drive sustainable development in marine technology and the blue economy? The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) hosted the Global Dialogue Series Seminar to explore blue economy and sustainability.
Ms. Christile DRULHE, The Consul General of France in Hong Kong and Macau, was invited to speak on sustainability issues, with a focus on the blue economy and joint international effort. The seminar, moderated by Prof. King Lun YEUNG, Director of the France-HKUST Innovation Hub, highlighted the strategic significance of ocean governance, sustainable infrastructure, and marine research.
This seminar provided a platform for insightful discussion on the challenges and opportunities presented by the Blue Economy, with the aim of driving sustainable development and ensuring the responsible use of marine resources.
