NEC Hong Kong Ltd. has been a pivotal presence in information and communications technology for decades. The company’s journey began with pioneering telephone communication systems, later expanding into computer systems, and nowadays it is an advanced technology service provider.
“A major milestone for us was about 20 years ago when NECHK transformed from product business to a turnkey solution provider today and it was the first company to adopt access control and automated passenger clearance using artificial intelligence technology,” Managing Director Elsa Wong said.
In addition to its technological milestones, NECHK’s commitment to innovation extends to its collaboration with different entities such as public utilities, the government and enterprises, addressing complex challenges and delivering dynamic solutions that underpin critical infrastructure and public services. “Hong Kong’s strategic location and robust infrastructure make it an ideal place to develop and pilot new technologies before replicating them globally,” Wong emphasized.
NECHK’s innovative solutions include the Smart Fleet Management System, which was researched and developed in Hong Kong and successfully replicated in overseas markets. This system promotes a smart, safe, automated, and seamless transportation system worldwide. Also, the Home Based Aged Care Solution empowers elderly individuals to age independently with dignity to improve quality of life and enhance emotional well-being for addressing pressing societal needs.

The company is also leveraging cutting-edge technologies to come up with inventive solutions that can address societal challenges more effectively.
“AI plays a significant role in our automation and digital transformation efforts,” Wong noted. “For example, we use AI for preventive maintenance, use video analytics to monitor abnormalities … in our collaboration with universities to develop AI-based educational tools for students with autism, which helps in emotion detection and communications training.”
In essence, NECHK exemplifies a commitment to innovation and excellence in the ICT and communications domains. Through its cutting-edge solutions and unwavering dedication to societal advancement, the company remains an indispensable partner in driving positive change and fostering inclusive growth.
