Hong Kong Science Park about reducing energy consumption of our District
Cooling System.
The second speaker was Ms. Angela Ng (Liricco Technologies Limited – for Green Building Platform) and she shared her views on CES 2017. Since she had joined CES several times, her feedback was no special surprise and most booths related to IoT platform.

the CES booths for 3 days and attended different keynotes speech and which keynotes
had 5 minutes to introduce their key product.
Their idea is from 1 to 1000! They
would tell you the next 3 years consumer product development direction. For example, Under Armour told you the future
dressing ware behavior. (e.g. 鞋不是這樣著的.) His insights during CES 2017
were on Battery life (we need to breakthrough it), Cloud Integration and
AI. Green may be the trend.
