HK Startups Meet Multinational Companies Series – Session 4: Knowledge
(Google Translated)
全球COVID-19大流行改變了全世界業務運作，工作和創造價值的方式。例如，在過去的幾個月中，我們所有人都已成為Zoom＆Microsoft Teams專家！儘管世界其他地區都希望在大流行之後重新開放經濟，但香港也期待從數月的社會動盪中恢復過來。香港將如何在新的常態下數字化，優化和製定戰略，以恢復經濟增長和領導地位？這一新常態為香港提供了一個巨大的機會，可以推動其向數字經濟過渡，並建立一個充滿活力的創新生態系統，將企業，初創企業和資本聯繫起來。
“HK Startups Meet Multinational Companies Series ”是一系列會議，展示靈感，將初創企業與企業聯繫起來，並在香港建立成功，可持續的創新社區。
加入我們，參加8月28日舉行的第四屆會議：知識。
通過創新的教學方法，技術進步以及為虛擬世界設計的程序，正在為學生和教師重塑教育。那麼，初創企業如何支持持續的趨勢呢？在接下來的18個月中，許多人預計，隨著COVID繼續限制和挑戰傳統學習，面對面和虛擬的平衡將會出現。在香港的複興之路上，遇到了一些新興企業，這些企業將有助於保持健康的平衡，創造我們從未想到的新機遇，並成為教育部門不可或缺的一部分。

The global COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we do business, work, and create value all around the world. For example, in the past several months, we have all become Zoom & Microsoft Teams experts! While the rest of the world looks forward to re-opening economies after the pandemic, Hong Kong is also looking forward to recovering from months of social unrest. How will Hong Kong digitize, optimize, and strategize in a new normal, returning to economic growth and leadership? This new normal is a huge opportunity for Hong Kong to drive its transition to a digital economy and create a buoyant innovation ecosystem, linking corporates, start-ups and capital.
"HK Startups Meet Multinational Companies Series" is an ongoing series of meetings, showcasing Inspiration, connecting start-ups with corporates, and building a successful, sustainable innovation community in Hong Kong.
Join us on August 28 for the fourth session: Knowledge. Education is being reshaped for students and teachers alike through new, innovative teaching methods, advancements in technology, and programs designed for a virtual world. So how can start-ups support the continued trend? For the next 18 months many predict there will be a balance of in-person and virtual as COVID continues to limit and challenge traditional learning. In Hong Kong's road to recovery meet some of the start-ups that will help strike a healthy balance, create new opportunities we have not thought of and be integral to the education sector.

台北與英國城市，還有許多領域的合作是很密切的。柯市長曾說，他對英國能夠經濟發展、用電量卻下降的趨勢非常敬佩，所以之前才派遣環保局產業局去取經。
這次，我也邀請🇬🇧英國駐台辦事處的Michael Watters處長，來跟市府同仁討論合作方案。處長說，減塑的政策交流Reducing plastics，是可以合作的方向。
最近英國受David Attenborough爵士所拍攝的紀錄片影響，對於只能使用一次的塑膠袋開始反思，台北（還有台灣）針對塑膠袋的收費等政策，值得參考。
我們認為，可以針對此事辦理論壇，邀請英國辦事處以及英國城市參加。
過去英國的顧問公司 “Carbon Trust”, 曾經與環保局派往英國的代表團交流，它們對STARTUP TAIPEI計畫很有興趣，英國對於與台北合作，針對綠色孵化器，綠色創投，綠色新創一起發起一些計畫，覺得是有可能的。
在得知澳洲辦事處與我方共同跟澳洲ＮＧＯ Link Housing的視訊會議之後，處長非常樂見協助聯繫與英國相關的ＮＧＯ，針對環境能源議題，進行視訊會議，這樣我想也能減少很多碳足跡。
我也談到，澳洲辦事處，協助我們實習生計畫時，英國辦事處也很樂於介紹相關組織給市府。
最後，英國倫敦將要打造Ultra-low-emission zones（低排放區域），相關規定將會地方自治法規。英方可以分享相關法規的經驗給台北市
附記：個人挺感興趣的是對於文化上面的交流，包含啤酒節，威士忌節，都是之後可以合作的方向。話說台灣是英國第三大威士忌出口國
最後市長還是在很忙的時間中，撥空來會議，給我們打氣；一起努力！
我們不會注重亮點政治，因為改善市政、專心市政是每天的事情。
Thank you so much to Michael Watters from the British Office in Taipei for visiting us at the Taipei City Government today!
We had an excellent discussion about #greenenergy, including how Britain is establishing Ultra-Low-Emissions Zones in order to combat #climatechange and deal with air pollution. Taipei can collaborate with Britain in order to establish similar initiatives and make Taipei more #eco-friendly and #efficient
This is how we build the green cities of tomorrow!
Did you know: Taiwan is the fourth biggest market for Scotch Whisky by value with exports worth £ 75 million+! However, Taiwan’s own Kavalan Whisky is now making inroads in the home of Whisky - Scotland - where it won gold medal at the 2015 World Whiskies Awards.
There’s lots of potential for future cooperation between Taiwan and the UK and I’m looking forward to seeing it happen.
The Charlotte Hornets put the Philadelphia 76ers away with a timely switch to a zone defense.
After blowing a 19-point lead, Charlotte went to a zone defense that stopped a Philadelphia spurt and helped lift the Hornets to a 94-85 victory Wednesday night.
"It got them out of their rhythm when they were making their charge," Hornets coach Paul Silas said.
Lee Nailon had a career-high 27 points, Baron Davis added 19 points, P.J. Brown had 15 points and 13 rebounds, Elden Campbell had 12 points and 10 rebounds and David Wesley also had 12 points for the Hornets, who snapped a two-game losing streak.
Allen Iverson led Philadelphia with 38 points on 13-of-30 shooting. Aaron McKie had 17 points and Derrick Coleman and Dikembe Mutombo each grabbed 12 rebounds for the 76ers, who had a two-game winning streak snapped and have lost eight of their last 10.
"We weren't getting stops so they could play zone," Iverson said. "Guys are not attacking, not taking the ball to the basket."
A jumper by Wesley as the shot clock buzzer sounded gave the Hornets a 90-84 lead with 1:09 left in the game. On the ensuing possession by Philadelphia, Campbell blocked a runner floater by Iverson, leading to layup by Nailon to put the game away.
After a fast-break dunk by Nailon gave Charlotte a 79-68 lead early in the fourth quarter, the 76ers scored 10 straight, including eight by Iverson to close to 79-78 with 7:21 left. The Hornets then scored the next five, including two on free throws after Mutombo and Iverson were whistled for technicals during the same play, to go ahead 84-78 with 6:15 remaining.
The Hornets broke open a 64-64 tie in the third quarter by scoring 13 of the last 17 points of the quarter, with Nailon making three baskets in the final minute as Charlotte took a 77-68 lead. Charlotte's zone defense allowed the Sixers to making just three baskets in the final seven minutes of the quarter.
"(The zone) really worked well," Wesley said. "We got them to stand around and take jump shots and when they did try to drive the lane we closed up the middle."
The first half consisted of two very different quarters. Charlotte outscored the Sixers 38-21 in the first quarter, thanks to 59 percent shooting (17-of-29) and a 16-6 rebounding advantage.
Philadelphia came back strong in the second quarter, rebounding from a 19-point deficit and scoring 26 of the last 35 points of the half to pull to 55-53 at halftime. Iverson had 13 points and was 4-of-7 from the field in the quarter.
On any other night, Allen Iverson would have begged to go back in the game. On Monday, he was begging for extra rest.
Playing with flu-like symptoms, Iverson scored all 24 of his points in the first half and then happily sat out the fourth quarter as the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the New Orleans Hornets 103-91.
"I didn't feel good at shootaround," said Iverson, who told coach Maurice Cheeks he was ailing as he prepared to go back in for the fourth period. "He just told me to come back, and fortunately everything worked out fine."
Iverson, the NBA's second-leading scorer at 32.5 points per game, shot 8-of-22 from the field and 7-of-10 from the free-throw line. He also had nine assists as the Sixers (7-5) snapped a two-game skid. It was the first time this season that Iverson failed to score at least 25 points.
"I didn't feel good at all," he said. "I was dizzy out there for virtually the whole game. Once I stopped playing at halftime and came back in, I just never felt right. I think I'm coming down with something. I want to get home and take some medication and see how I feel in the morning."
Iverson was one of six Sixers to score in double figures. John Salmons scored 19 points, Andre Iguodala added 15 points and Chris Webber and Steven Hunter each had a double-double. Webber had 15 points and 10 rebounds, and Hunter had 10 points and 12 rebounds. Kyle Korver scored 10.
"I knew Allen wasn't feeling well and that I had to pick it up some," Salmons said. "He was encouraging us the whole fourth quarter to keep it up. It's a good feeling to play so well with Allen getting some rest."
The Sixers have been sporadic on defense this season, giving up an average of 106 points, 28th in the league entering the game. But their defense was much better from the start as they held the Hornets to 42 percent shooting in the first half en route to a 65-47 lead.
"We were more aggressive in our defense and the fact that we played more zone than we normally have," Cheeks said. "We were active in our zone, we were talking in our zone and we played a little more full-court defense."
David West scored 20 points, J.R. Smith added 17 and Speedy Claxton had 15 for the Hornets (4-6), who won their previous two games. The Hornets didn't win their fourth game until Jan. 11 last season.
"We were happy with two straight wins and that was satisfying enough for us instead of trying to come in here and get one against a very good basketball team," coach Byron Scott said.
The Sixers extended their lead to 83-63 after the third quarter and were never seriously threatened by the Hornets, who shot 5-of-21 from the field in that quarter and 31-of-78 (40 percent) for the game.
The Sixers also outrebounded the Hornets 50-38.
"They just got going," West said. "You can't let guys like that get comfortable."
Game notes
Sixers center Samuel Dalembert, who has missed every game this season with a right quad strain, said he expects to join the team soon after Thanksgiving. ... Attendance has started to dwindle a bit for the Sixers. They drew 12,452 against the Hornets, slightly more than the 12,211 that showed up for their Nov. 12 game against Toronto, which was their smallest crowd since the 1998-99 season. "We've got to earn them back," Cheeks said.

There`s no reason to play much in the 2nd half when you drop 24 points, 7 assists, and 3 rebounds in the 1st half and your team is up by double figures. Iverson still impressive even with flu-like symptoms

Allen Iverson scored enough points to catch Shaquille O'Neal but not enough for the Philadelphia 76ers to catch the Charlotte Hornets.
Iverson scored 39 points to take over the league scoring lead from O'Neal but the Hornets found the range in overtime and dealt the 76ers a 117-110 loss that dumped them into seventh place in the Eastern Conference.
Elden Campbell scored seven of his 18 points in overtime for the Hornets, who blew a 21-point first-half lead and needed a reverse dunk by Eddie Jones off an airball by Chucky Brown to force the extra session with 2.9 seconds left in regulation.
"We missed our free throws in the fourth quarter (5-of-9) and missed a big box-out at the end to win the game," Philadelphia coach Larry Brown said. "We talked about boxing out during the timeout. Eddie Jones was incredible for them."
"That was luck. I saw the ball was short," said Jones, who scored 28 points and did a credible job on Iverson.
Iverson had given the 76ers a 100-98 lead with a 3-pointer with 6.8 seconds to go. But he scored only four points in overtime, missing 21-of-35 shots and 7-of-16 free throws overall, as his play resembled the wild offensive game he displayed as a rookie.
"The kid is awesome," Hornets interim coach Paul Silas said. "They ran plays and set great picks for him and he made us pay."
"In overtime, they made some shots and we missed some," Iverson said. "We just didn't execute like we'd like to."
Nevertheless, Iverson is averaging 26.61 points while O'Neal, the superstar center of the Los Angeles Lakers, is at 26.47. On Wednesday, Iverson's 76ers host the Detroit Pistons and O'Neal's Lakers entertain Portland.
If the Sixers (27-22) win, they will be no lower than seventh in the East. They could finish sixth if Milwaukee (28-21) loses at New Jersey or as low as eighth if they lose and New York (26-23) defeats Miami.
"Seventh or eighth means we are still in the playoffs," said Sixers center Matt Geiger, who had 22 points and 13 rebounds but was saddled by foul trouble in trying to defend Campbell in overtime. "We played well enough to get in. ... We will just have to get started tonight with playoff basketball. It is upon us."
David Wesley had 19 points and 10 assists, Bobby Phills scored 17 points and Eldridge Recasner added 16 for Charlotte, which was eliminated from the playoff race Monday but bounced back to beat Philadelphia for the first time in three meetings this season. The Hornets scored the most points against the 76ers this season after combining for only 136 in the first two games.
"We know we're a playoff team," said Jones, who was acquired in a mid-season trade. "We may not be in the playoffs, but we know we're a playoff team."
After a 4-11 start that led to the resignation of coach Dave Cowens, Charlotte (25-24) has gone 21-13 under Silas and visits Boston on Wednesday.
"It's an important game," Silas said. "We're going to do all we can to win it. It would be nice to finish the season on a winning note."
Campbell opened the overtime scoring with a free throw to give the Hornets the lead for good and Wesley drilled a 3-pointer. Philadelphia's Aaron McKie made a jumper but Campbell responded with a nine-footer for a 106-102 lead with 2:59 to go.
Iverson made two free throws but Campbell hit another jumper. McKie's basket cut the deficit to 108-106 with 1:56 left before Phills, Campbell and Jones scored in a 38-second span to seal it at 114-106 with 43 seconds to play.
"We went to Elden a lot late in the game trying to foul Geiger out," Silas said. "He made several big shots in the overtime."
Chucky Brown scored 14 points and Campbell grabbed 11 rebounds for the Hornets, who shot 47 percent (39-of-83) from the field and made 32-of-39 free throws. Campbell and Wesley made six steals each and Jones added five and four blocks.
Rookie Larry Hughes scored 13 points and McKie and Eric Snow added 12 apiece for the Sixers, who shot 45 percent (42-of-94) and held a 48-44 rebounding edge. George Lynch grabbed eight rebounds and Snow handed out eight assists.
The Hornets shot 57 percent (12-of-21) and held the Sixers to just 27 percent (6-of-22) in the first quarter, opening a 36-16 lead. Jones scored 12 points in the period and his dunk gave Charlotte its largest lead at 49-28 with 4:09 left in the second quarter.
The Sixers closed to 58-42 at halftime and Iverson and Geiger scored nine points each in the third quarter to help cut the deficit to 77-74. Hughes' three-point play gave Philadelphia an 80-79 lead with 10:08 left in the fourth quarter.
"If we could have guven the energy we gave in the second half in the beginning of the game, we could have won this game," Brown said. "We can't expect to play this way during the playoffs."
