We had a lunch meeting with Mr. Alan Siu, Deputy Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development Bureau (Communications & Technology). During the lunch we talked about how the government can help the companies to protect and promote their creation and to commercialize some of the ideas generated from Universities, and how we are narrowing the gap of digital divide in Hong Kong.
