FS to attend World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Switzerland
***************************************************************
The Financial Secretary, Mr Paul Chan, will depart for Davos in Switzerland tomorrow night (January 14) to attend the World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting taking place from January 15 to 19.
The WEF Annual Meeting 2024, themed “Rebuilding Trust”, will engage in in-depth discussions around four areas: achieving security and co-operation for the world, creating growth and jobs, artificial intelligence as a driving force for the economy and society, and long-term strategies for combating climate change and achieving carbon neutrality. Leaders of governments, representatives of major international organisations and senior management of enterprises from over 100 countries and regions will attend the Meeting.
Mr Chan said, “Current geopolitical situation remains tense, with protectionism and decoupling sentiments rising high in individual countries. With an uneven pace of post-epidemic recovery and growth, global economic outlook still faces many uncertainties. At such a time, countries should join hands to promote a more resilient global development, respond to imminent challenges such as climate change, and make development more equitable and inclusive.”
During the WEF Annual Meeting, Mr Chan will attend and speak at several keynote meetings, luncheons and dinners. Mr Chan will also meet with political, business and financial leaders.
“While attending the WEF Annual Meeting, I and other members of the Hong Kong team will actively tell the good Hong Kong and China stories, and explain the economic and social development of Hong Kong, striving to clear doubts over Hong Kong. We will in particular explain the successful implementation and long-standing advantages of the ‘one country, two systems,’ as well as Hong Kong’s unique role in connecting the Mainland and the world. We will also introduce our new advantages and measures in promoting the development of industries, and encourage businesses to establish a foothold and invest here,” Mr Chan said.
The Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, Mr Algernon Yau, will participate in certain parts of the programme. Other members of the Hong Kong team attending the Annual Meeting include the Chairman of the Airport Authority Hong Kong, Mr Jack So; the Chairman of the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited, Mrs Laura Cha, and the Chief Executive Officer of MTR Corporation Limited, Dr Jacob Kam.
Mr Chan will leave Davos on January 19 (Davos time) and arrive in Hong Kong on January 20. During his absence, the Deputy Financial Secretary, Mr Michael Wong, will act as the Financial Secretary. The Under Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, Dr Bernard Chan, will be the Acting Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development during Mr Yau’s absence.

The TSI will also include multiple networking opportunities and numerous exhibits from innovative technology companies.
L-Tron team members Andy McNeill and Julianne Pangal will be available at Booth 127 to demo OSCR360 throughout the Summit. OSCR360 plays an instrumental role in firefighter training practices, providing a practical and cost-effective means for departments to train in-house on a regular basis. OSCR360 training opportunities include firefighter safety, investigations, fire science, ventilation strategies, search and rescue, active threats, high risk scenarios, and more (https://www.l-tron.com/oscr360-in-house-training-for-fire…). In addition to training, fire departments utilize OSCR360 to safely access and investigate dangerous structures and hazardous environments.

RALEIGH, N.C. – Nov. 22, 2023 – PRLog — The L-Tron team will be attending the National Conference on Active School Threats EAST in Raleigh, NC from November 29 – December 1. The theme of this year’s event, which will be hosted at the Hilton Raleigh North Hills is “Resiliency through Preparation.” The conference will focus on creating safe, secure, and healthy environments within our school districts.
L-Tron’s Julianne Pangal and John Dobies will be available throughout the conference to demo the OSCR360 System for Emergency Preparedness.
The L-Tron team attended the 2022 Conference in Phoenix, AZ, also hosted by School Safety 911. This year, two identical conferences will be held on opposite coasts and will provide more accessibility for attendees. In addition to the EAST Conference in Raleigh, the WEST Conference will take place in Phoenix, AZ from December 6 – 8. Both conferences are geared toward school administrators, school resource officers, campus security officers, law enforcement, mental health staff, emergency management staff, first responders, and other school or community stakeholders.
The L-Tron team will be demonstrating the patented OSCR360 System throughout the duration of the conference. The OSCR360 System partners with school districts and communities to prepare for emergency situations (https://www.l-tron.com/resource-page/active-shooter-pre-p…). OSCR360 captures entire campuses in a series of 360-degree photos, which are then organized and stored within the OSCR360 software to create a comprehensive virtual walkthrough of the campus. Label points of interest, including entryways and exits, emergency equipment, locations with populations of individuals who may require additional assistance, and more within each OSCR360 photograph to include in school district emergency response plans.
Facilitate virtual training sessions with OSCR360 for a variety of community stakeholders, from first responders and school security teams to building administrators and staff. Collaborate with local law enforcement to make an OSCR360 virtual walkthrough available on every responding officer’s patrol vehicle. Empower the entire response team with the tactical advantage to respond to emergencies effectively and efficiently during high-stress situations to keep the community safe.
