Portable, Cost-effective, High Performance, Safe & Fast COVID-19 Detection!!

Given that the COVID-19 is a new type of virus, the development of the vaccine is under development.  There is no certainty when a commercial product will arrive.  The success of Asia in particularly Hong Kong in controlling the spread of COVID-19 is the detection at the port of entry.  The current detection method uses the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technology, which is costly and slow.  It requires dedicated PCR machines and well-trained staff to do the testing.  So the scale is limited.  The accuracy depends on the quality of the test kit.  The market needs a low-cost alternative to PCR technology.  Fortunately an Israeli start-up NewSight Imaging Technologies demonstrated their sensor technology can be incorporated in a spectrometer to detect impurities, bacteria and possibly COVID-19 in the fluid.  (1).  NewSight is currently starting the collaboration with medical institutes to explore the feasibility of COVID-19 detection.  NewSight believes that with the assistance of machine learning, the accuracy will be improved and the speed of detection will be brought under 1 second at a much lower cost than current PCR technology.

In a recent online competition “Coronavirus Battle in Europe” which took place on April 22, 2020, startups all over the world pitches their ideas to detect, control and treat COVID-19.  More than 50 European Venture Capital experts and investors are on the Jury Expert Board, including 500 Startups, Target Partners, Acrobator Ventures and Emerald Technology Ventures.  NewSight was placed third among 20 finalists.  The success is remarkable given that the first two places go to medical startups.

The State of the Crypto Market

With the rebound in the price of cryptos (the price of bitcoin has risen from around $4,000 USD in March 2019 to above $11,000 in June) and the recent announcement of Facebook to launch its own crypto-currency Libra, there is a renewed interest in the development of cryptos and blockchains.  Association of Blockchain Development (ABCD), together with Broctagon, successfully runs a seminar titled “The State of the Crypto Market” on 5 July 2019 at the Causeway Bay campus of the Manchester Business School.   More than 80 people showed up to listen the talks given by a group of industry experts.

In the opening remark and in the panel discussion, Dr. Kyle Wong, the President of ABCD, talks about the continuing adoption of blockchain technology by major corporations.  They include the trade finance systems by HSBC and HKMA built on blockchains, HSBC using blockchain for FX settlements and subsequently saving 25% in cost, JPM introducing the JPM stablecoin, LVMH creating a chain for provenance of their luxury goods and SocGen is doing a covered bond offering on blockchain.  Kyle believes that to improve blockchain adoption, universities, corporations and regulators need to work closer together to promote the technology.

Ms. Julianne Doe, who is a partner at Dentons Hong Kong LLP as well as the legal advisor to ABCD, first shared about the recent push by the Hong Kong regulatory authorities into Fintech. They include Fast Payment System and the granting of eight virtual bank licenses.  However, the regulators are taking a much more cautious approach regarding cryptos.  Even though there is a big interest globally in Initial Coin Offering (ICO) or Security Token Offering (STO), the rules in Hong Kong is still not clear.  In particular Julianne observed that the intended pathway by the regulators is to fit the trading of crypto products into the existing securities regulation regime, rather than a new and separate regulatory regime.

Another keynote speaker, Mr. Fay Lam, is the CEO of SmartUp, an incubator of blockchain start-ups.  Mr. Lam is also a founding member of ABCD.  Fay shares about how blockchain technology enables decentralized finance which can potentially disrupt the current financial system.  The potential benefits of decentralized finance include helping the unbanked, making cross border payment much cheaper, better privacy & security and making censorship resistant transactions.  However, to fully realize the potential of decentralized finance, there are still a few challenges to solve.  Currently blockchain still suffer from slow transaction speed and the overall adoption rate of cryptos by the public is still quite low.

以【創新】應對大灣區的機遇與挑戰！

在過去許多的大灣區研討中，都分析了大灣區的9+2協同「商機」。但在這些許多的商機機背後，卻同時埋伏了許多的協同「挑戰」，在一個9+2裡的彎區，存在了3種貨幣、3種制度，其互利合作是機會也是挑戰！在一國兩制的大灣區發展原則下，如何實現9+2的協同互利，應對其制度差異的挑戰？其方法可能就是大灣區發展大原則中的頭兩個字 —-「創新」！

以創新的思維創造方法，以創新的方法解決問題。未來大灣區的5G、人工智能發展等，帶動了物聯、車聯、路聯、區聯。現在已有跨境支付、跨境通道、跨境電商、一卡兩號、一國兩制；未來是否可以利用科技實現跟隨個人身份的【跨境兩制】，簡化兩制下的統籌費時，讓9+2的協調共贏得以順利推展？這可能將是未來的創新驅動、大勢使然！

金融網絡盜竊猖獗 六成企業欠對策

信報月刊 2017年2月號 （479期）

日常生活與網絡日益不可分離的普羅大眾在不知不覺中陷入了新的煩惱，由黑客（Hacker）頻頻發動的網絡世界大戰呈不斷升級之勢，令一切與網絡相聯系的事物似無可遁形。更為可怕的是，就算人們已經感受到網絡戰爭的啟動和蔓延，遭受到網絡大戰的無情蹂躪，卻很難確定誰是發動者和參與者！不久前面對ASTRI的網絡保安培訓室的大屏幕，筆者看到實時網絡攻擊動態地圖，此起彼伏、甚囂塵上的跨國網絡攻擊令人觸目驚心。據了解，這些其實僅僅是代表位於50個國家的8百萬個感應設施上檢察到的網絡攻擊情況，以模擬跨國網絡攻擊。不過，這些網絡攻擊的的確確在發生，而且更加猖獗！
