(9 September 2024, Hong Kong) The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (hereafter “the HKIE”) held a media gathering today, introducing “Grow the Nexus, Link the Links”, the HKIE’s Theme for Session 2024/2025. Emphasising the importance of Hong Kong’s engineering industry to fulfil its role as a “super-connector” and “super value-adder”, the Theme reflects a commitment to supporting Mainland engineers and enterprises in reaching beyond the region and accessing the global market, while attracting foreign talent and investment into the country. The HKIE aims to contribute to the nation’s development and Hong Kong’s economic transformation and advancement, creating a hub of international top-tier talent.
Ir Eric MA, President of the HKIE, said, “We strive to strengthen the Institution’s status as a hub of international engineering community, thereby leveraging Hong Kong’s advantages as a “super-connector” and “super value-adder” to facilitate extensive exchange and collaboration between the Mainland and international engineering industries. As a ‘bridge’, we foster cross-border connections, not only importing more advanced experiences and technologies from the international scene, but also facilitating more engineering enterprises and professionals in the Mainland to go global. These may be accomplished through a variety of exchange tours, study tours, the GBA Federation of Engineering Organisations (GFEO), frameworks for reciprocal recognition agreements, recognition arrangements for Mainland professional titles, etc. At the same time, the HKIE will continue to nurture local young engineers, helping them to integrate seamlessly into the broader developmental scheme of the nation.”
Ir MA continued, “Hong Kong’s engineering industry needs to move with the times. Apart from sustaining our advantages in traditional engineering and construction, we must leverage Hong Kong’s “eight centres” positioning as set out in the 14th Five-Year Plan, so that our engineering profession can play a more active role in emerging opportunities such as the advancement of Hong Kong as an international hub for innovation and technology, and the development of new quality productive forces. Together, we can create a better tomorrow.”
The HKIE proactively organises and participates in different conferences and exchange tours within the Mainland and beyond. These include the four-consecutive-day “ICEE Conference 2024”, which, co-hosted in July 2024 by the HKIE with professional bodies in China, Japan and Korea, explored the vital role of electrical engineering in advancing a smart society and low carbon emissions to foster a sustainable environment; as well as “高端人才北京交流團” in August 2024, which facilitated in-depth exchanges between Hong Kong and the Mainland on collaborations in the field of engineering technology and talent cultivation. Going forward, the HKIE will continue to roll out a variety of exchange activities, such as Division Chairmen’s Study Tour to Guilin/Nanning, Guangxi and Presidential Visits to the UK and Australia, to strengthen connections and dialogue with global engineering professional organisations.
Three Sub-Themes: Governance Enhancement, Nurture Engineering Talents, and Promote Member Unity
- Enhance Governance of the HKIE and Promote Industry Development – The HKIE plays a crucial role in Hong Kong’s engineering profession, ensuring professional standards while encouraging continuous learning and development. The HKIE will strengthen its governance during Session 2024/2025, continuing with the “Time to Change” Roadmap, executing reforms to enhance transparency and build trust between stakeholders in the industry and the public.

(香港,2024年5月17日) 香港工程師學會 (「學會」) 歡迎政府向立法會提交建造業付款保障條例草案(「條例」),並期望未來數月順利通過草案。
拖欠付款問題一直困擾建造業界,有機會增加合約對方的財政負擔,影響從業員生計,難免對維持工程進度和質量造成壓力。建造業付款保障條例可以改善現時拖欠問題,藉以改善業界供應鏈中的資金問題。
條例縮短回應付款申索及到期支付款項的時限,以改善合約付款問題,並禁止導致業界「拖數」主因「先收款、後付款」這項不公平合約付款條款,更正業界付款陋習,確保工作團隊可以準時收到應得款項。條例引入審裁機制,由「審裁員提名團體」於7個工作天內,委任熟悉建造業運作及處理合約糾紛的專業人士擔任審裁員,處理拖欠付款爭議。學會一直與政府密切合作,落實相關仲裁機制,務求迅速、低成本地解決爭議。
會長李志康博士、工程師表示:「作為一個不少會員為業界從業員的專業團體,學會支持政府推動落實條例,期望立法會盡快通過並隨即落實條例,更能推動行業良性發展,保障業內所有持份者,最終達致建造業的可持續發展。」
