Evidence snapshot for Hong Kong
Hong Kong has deployed multiple large-scale digital and technology initiatives targeting inclusion and diversity. The 'Smart Silver' Digital Inclusion Programme has reached over 150,000 elderly residents since 2014, with a 2025–26 round targeting 45,000+ more seniors, while the Innovation and Technology Fund for Elderly and Rehabilitation Care has disbursed approximately HK$910 million to roughly 2,100 service units for over 27,000 technology products by December 2025. Digital accessibility recognition has expanded, with 439 websites, 102 mobile apps and 119 new 'elderly-friendly' badges awarded in 2024–25. Board gender diversity has also improved significantly, with single-gender boards falling from 32.9% of issuers in 2021 to roughly 3% by early 2025, and women's board representation rising to 21.5%.
