Evidence snapshot for Hong Kong
Hong Kong has deployed several major digital and governance initiatives in recent years. The Smart Silver Digital Inclusion Programme has reached 150,000+ elderly residents since 2014, with plans to reach 45,000+ more in 2025–26 through HK$100 million in community digital support stations. The Hong Kong Stock Exchange's single-gender board ban reduced all-male boards from 32.9% of issuers in 2021 to roughly 3% by early 2025, raising women's board representation from 15% to 21.5%. On education and civil service, the University of Hong Kong funded HK$15.7 million in free ChatGPT-class access for all students and staff, while the government's HKPilot and HKMeeting tools scaled from 800 civil servants in November 2024 to roughly 50,000 across 100 departments by 2026, though outcome measurement has not yet been completed.
