FOREWORD W elcome to the March issue of Business Chief Asia !
On the cover of Business Chief Asia this month is Hong Kong public transport provider MTR Corporation . We speak to CEO Dr Jacob Kam , who explains how the organisation is maintaining its reputation for efficient and reliable railways with the assistance of technology .
“ We believe that the only way to push beyond the current high performance is through better digital technology ,” says Kam . “ One aspect is discovering how best to predict failure , so that we can act on that failure before it happens . This predictive maintenance relies on image and data analytics supported by artificial intelligence and helps us to regularly inspect our equipment and detect any problem early and consistently .”
In this month ’ s City Focus , we are transported to the South Korean capital of Seoul . The high-tech metropolis is one of Asia ’ s economic powerhouses , and home to giants such as Samsung . But , as we discover , it increasingly balances this reputation with efforts to become a more sustainable , liveable environment .
In our Top 10 we examine the largest soccer teams in Southeast Asia , with entrants from Thailand , Malaysia and Indonesia .
