Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) Launches Industrial Informatics and Intelligence Institute for Cross-Disciplinary Research

The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) has recently announced the official establishment of the Industrial Informatics and Intelligence Institute (Triple-i Institute). This new institute aims to promote cross-hub, cross-campus, and cross-industry research in the field of industrial informatics and intelligence.

The Triple-i Institute is one of the key laboratories set up at HKUST (GZ). Professor Fugee Tsung, Founding Acting Dean of the HKUST (GZ) Information Hub, will serve as the Founding Director of the institute. Prof. Tsung is a renowned expert in industrial engineering and decision analysis, with numerous accolades to his name.

The Triple-i Institute seeks to empower industries to enhance their operations and achieve higher efficiency, profitability, and sustainability through digital and intelligence transformation. Its primary research areas include industrial big data, industrial intelligence, the industrial Internet of Things, and industrial carbon neutrality.
