He also pointed out that innovation and technology (I&T) provides strong impetus for economic growth, and the Innovation, Technology and Industry Bureau will soon promulgate the Hong Kong I&T Development Blueprint to chart Hong Kong’s way towards an international I&T centre under four broad directions, namely, enhancing local I&T ecosystem; expanding local talent pools; developing Hong Kong into a smart city; and proactively integrating into the country’s overall development while consolidating Hong Kong’s international outlook. He looks forward to working hand-in-hand with all members of the industry and the community at large to press ahead with these important missions.
The Hong Kong ICT Awards aims to recognise and promote outstanding local ICT inventions and applications. It serves as an annual flagship event of the local industry since its debut in 2006. In addition to encouraging and recognising local innovations, the Awards also helps the winners and their products enter the Mainland and overseas markets.

The Chairman of the Grand Judging Panel, the President of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Professor Teng Jin-guang, praised the high standard of entries and expressed that this year’s awardees have leveraged their expertise not only in pursuing innovative technologies to advance the frontiers of industry, but also in proactively converting their creative ideas into practical solutions.
