Chairman's Message

AH Photo 2 Sep 2025

Dear Members,

Engineering is a great profession that shapes the world by transforming scientific knowledge and creativity into practical solutions. Materials lie at the heart of this transformation. From limestone, metals, minerals, metalloids, and rare earth elements to the advanced materials of today, they provide physical foundation of modern life, enabling high-rise buildings, electric vehicles, resilient infrastructures, medical breakthroughs, semiconductor technologies, and the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence.

As the world advances at an unprecedented technological pace, far surpassing previous industrial revolutions, new and advanced materials have become indispensable drivers of innovation. Materials Engineers play a pivotal role in this global race, carrying the responsibility to uphold excellence, push boundaries, and contribute meaningfully to Hong Kong’s economic and societal development. As a member of HKIE, we serve with professionalism, integrity, and accountability.

I warmly invite you to join the HKIE Materials Division to learn, to share and to grow together. With your ideas, insight, and participation, we can achieve even greater success for our profession and our community.

Ir Alfred Ho 

Chairman, Materials Division of the HKIE

Session 2026–28
