The project “Empower the logistics industry and Hong Kong enterprises to implement digital transformation and achieve competency in Hong Kong” is organized by the Hong Kong Shippers’ Council, executed by the Hong Kong Productivity Council, and funded by the “Trade and Industrial Organisation Support Fund” of the Trade and Industry Department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government. The aim is to promote digital transformation and seize new opportunities for Hong Kong’s logistics industry and SMEs closely related to the logistics supply chain, including manufacturing, trade and import/export, wholesale, and retail sectors. The project provides digital transformation information, practical cases, and recommendations to enhance the digital literacy of industry practitioners. 

The project started from 2023, through the kick-off conference, SMEs surveys and interviews, eight thematic seminars, two local study missions in Hong Kong and a dissemination seminar, sharing current digital technologies and practical solutions related to supply chain logistics, and offering practical advice to SMEs. This report summarizes the digital transformation challenges and considerations faced by SMEs interviewed in the logistics supply chain transformation roadmaps and facilitate easier implementation. 

We hope this report can serve as an additional reference for the industry and local SMEs. It introduces some popular digital technologies suitable for Hong Kong SMEs, as well as government and local organization funding schemes and information channels in a simplified checklist format. This will help SMEs better understand digital transformation and assist them in enhancing supply chain efficiency and business models.
