In 2018, the Group established a highly automated plant in Vietnam to capitalise on the “One Belt One Road” initiative, as well as benefit from the country’s aggressive development. A new factory located in Bac Ninh, Vietnam, will be opened following the same high-automation approach. On the research front, Dr Ng founded an R&D team to focus on AI, IoT and mobile applications, hence the reason why SUGA is able to consistently develop advanced, high-standard products. The innovative capabilities can also bring new business opportunities, as reflected by revenue that has increased at a CAGR of 6.2% between 2014 and 2019. For the same reason, SUGA has been awarded numerous patents, registered many trademarks globally and earned numerous awards, such as Certificate of Merit at Asia Smartphone Apps Contest, and Outstanding Solution/Product at Asian Electronics Forum. Dr Ng also has collaborated with local research centers and universities (PolyU, CityU, HKU, CUHK) on various projects, extending to the establishment of the SUGA Research Laboratory for Sustainable Urban Green Agriculture at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, to research and develop green agriculture. Dr Ng has also been appointed as Director of The Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute in October 2020. He will continue to work with other directors to enhance Hong Kong's competitiveness in technology-based industries through innovative technologies and applied sciences. He has lined up investment opportunities for SUGA while at the same time supported local and overseas startups, such as Growgreen, Mobilogix, Concept Infinity and Dott.
