Cyberport - Hong Kong's flagship IT project

Site work is well on schedule at Hong Kong's Cyberport, a 24-hectare HK$15.8 billion (US$2 billion) plus project that by 2003 will be welcoming local and overseas information technology companies as tenants. Part of the Government's "Digital 21" strategy, Cyberport is centred on an integrated cluster of state-of-the-art information infrastructure facilities.

The whole site will enjoy broadband connectivity - with pipes to the world beyond. There will be provision for leased lines and Internet protocol voice traffic, while satellite stations will provide global connectivity and content further enriched by video on demand.

Providing unmatched digital infrastructure in a world-class working and living environment, Cyberport will encourage cross-fertilisation of ideas and technology and help take the whole community at light speed into the digital age.

Mr Donald Tsang, Financial Secretary of HKSAR, and Mr Chow Yun Fat, the internationally renowned movie star, at the Opening Ceremony of the Hong Kong Film Archive The ultra high-tech Hong Kong Film Archive opened in early January 2001 with the first of three spectacular celebratory programmes - an exhibition entitled "Hong Kong on the Silver Screen." Film extracts, film stills and replicas of classic Hong Kong 50's and 60's film sets vividly explore the lifestyle changes and social development Hong Kong people have experienced during the past hundred years. The exhibition was followed by the retrospective "Asian Film Archive Treasures" and a major film symposium.
