Prof. Terence Chong, the Executive Director of Lau Chor Tak Institute of Global Economics and Finance, shared that it is difficult to create new economic directions, but he noticed that there are 3 crucial elements of the coming business trend, which are the people-oriented applications of technology, ESG strategies, and the quality of services and products.
