Technology incubatee Synesthesia Phostech Corporation Limited and design incubatee Best Video Limited are taking part in the World Exposition 2010 Shanghai China, at the London Pavilion and German Pavilion respectively.

The best way to see how green British cities are is to visit the London Pavilion at the Urban Best Practices Area (UBPA) in Puxi. For example, the Pavilion’s outer wall has been applied with a special paint that uses luminescent phosphor powder developed by Synesthesia for solar energy absorption during the day which will then release the energy at night. By early June, visitors will be able to see the glowing London Pavilion at night without electricity consumption.

Also on display is another green invention of Synesthesia – the Photo Bioreactor which can accelerate plant growth without using electricity.

Back in Pudong at the German Pavilion, Best Video Limited has produced a 3D animated high-definition video to match its theme, “A City with Harmony and Balance”, promoting environmental protection and sustainable growth.

Two technology incubatees, Hong Kong RFID Limited and Intuitive Automata HK Limited, are showcasing their innovative technologies and products at the World Exposition 2010 Shanghai China, demonstrating Hong Kong’s originality and creativity to the world.  

Visit Hong Kong’s UBPA in Puxi and check out Hong Kong RFID Limited’s smart and simple technology. Wristbands installed with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags are given to every visitor as a key to activate various interactive exhibits and games. On the floor, there is an interesting Interactive Floor Tiles System tracing the movement of visitors while lighting up the corresponding floor tiles.

Over at the “Hong Kong: Creative Ecologies - Business, Living, Creativity” Exhibition, a Hong Kong SAR programme for Shanghai Expo, meet Autom™ , your personal weight loss robotic coach. Autom™ is the flagship product of Intuitive Automata, a pioneer in the commercial application of socially interactive robots.

It seems that Hong Kong software developers have the sense to convert tedious and complex work into something enjoyable, or at least something with fewer steps and less hassle, in an intelligent way.

GearApp, a new business app developed by the technology incubatee, e-Sense, provides a simpler solution for CRM, internal management process and email blasts, namely GearApp CRM, GearApp Event and GearApp Email.

As fewer upgrades are needed, it is more affordable and training takes less than ten minutes. Its interoperability makes smarter customer interactions possible.
