The Civil Engineering and Development Department (CEDD) celebrates its 20th Anniversary this year. A series of events on innovation and NEC partnering will be held in the CEDD 'n I Week spanning a week's time during the week of 24 June to 28 June 2024. The title carries the meaning of "CEDD and I" which echoes the close connection between CEDD and the public, while at the same time "n" in the title "CEDD 'n I Week" denotes NEC and "I" denotes Innovation.
CEDD 'n I Week will feature two forums which provide platform for leaders of the construction industry to share their vision of the future landscape of the industry and a platform for CEDD to showcase the technological achievements resulting from collaborations with our partners, as well as the collaborative culture under NEC good practice. Visits to CEDD's prominent sites will be organised in between the forums, offering younger generations an opportunity to learn about CEDD's work and contributions to the development of Hong Kong.
Day 1 - CEDD Construction Revolution Summit 2024 (24 June 2024)
