“Advance to Smart Manufacturing”
The manufacturing technology industry has been facing a significant shortage of industrial talent. The challenge has become even more pressing due to the emigration wave, which is causing an outflow of professional and technical talents. Meanwhile, new blood is scarce in the manufacturing talent pool as young people have low interest in joining and staying in the industry. As traditional manufacturing strives to drive digital transformation, advanced and smart manufacturing is the future industry trend. It is imperative for the industry and training institutions to join hands and promote advanced manufacturing and relevant vocational and professional education and training pathway so to attract young talents. Employers and employees are highly encouraged to utilise the government resources in talent development and skills upgrading. Equipping themselves with high-end technology and becoming advanced manufacturing professionals will be essential for the industry to thrive in the long run.

Technological Transformation and Challenges of Advanced Manufacturing Industry in Hong Kong
The Advanced Manufacturing Industry in Hong Kong is experiencing a significant transformation, driven by the evolving technologies including additive manufacturing, robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and sustainable practices. These technologies not only enhance operational efficiency but also strengthen the implementation of environmental responsibility of the industry, laying a solid foundation for Hong Kong's future growth and global competitiveness. However, the industry is confronted with challenges related to a shortage of skilled workforce, particularly in critical areas such as AI, data analytics, and sustainability. This manpower shortage has become increasingly severe with the ageing workforce. To address these challenges, collaborative initiatives involving government, academic institutions, and industry stakeholders are vital to establish Hong Kong as a hub for innovation and technology in the manufacturing landscape.
