Robotics and digital tech: CIOB debates the future in Hong Kong

The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) Conference 2021 in Hong Kong is set to focus on ‘smart construction’ and the potential application of digital and robotic technologies when it takes place next month.

The online event is due to run from 9am until 12pm on Tuesday 20 April, local time.

Guest of Honour will be Ir Lam Sai Hung, JP permanent secretary for development (works) from Hong Kong’s Development Bureau.
