BEC CEO Dialogue is a signature event of BEC aiming to provide a platform for idea exchange and experience sharing among business leaders and senior executives. Prestigious CEOs from renowned companies and organisations are invited as honourable guests to share their valuable insights on topics related to environmental excellence and sustainability in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong's energy future is being shaped by rapid urban growth, rising electricity demand, and the city's commitment to reach carbon neutrality by 2050. As buildings, transport and infrastructure become increasingly digital and electrified, energy intelligence — data‑driven visibility, smart control and predictive optimisation — is more critical than ever to advance efficiency and sustainability in today's AI era.

In this BEC CEO Dialogue, themed "Advancing Energy Tech: Powering Hong Kong's Net-Zero Future in the AI Era", we were honoured to have Mr Jonathan Chiu, President, Schneider Electric (Hong Kong) Limited as our distinguished guest. Together with our host, Mr Simon Ng, Chief Executive Officer of BEC, they led an insightful discussion centered on how energy intelligence can drive efficiency and sustainability in Hong Kong's rapidly evolving urban landscape.
