The rapid growth and development of information technology is not only a spectacle in the industry itself, but more importantly, a game changer taking a profound impact on the nature of all professions and industries. Data has become and will continue to be a major factor of production in the digital economy. In fact, it is fair to say that no profession or industry will survive without data.

I can foresee that data skills are highly sought-after broadly in all businesses, and in this particular case, the healthcare industry which by itself is and will remain as a major industry of the future due to aging society as well as the increasing health consciousness of people. This is a rather unique programme aiming to groom talents for the future of health industry. It is my genuine wish to see the programme a success and help to nurture more professionals of the highest caliber to cope with the need of Hong Kong.
