The Hong
Kong ICT Awards were established in 2006 as a
collaborative effort among industry support organisations,
ICT professional bodies, academia and the Government
to establish a large scale and internationally
recognised branding of ICT awards of Hong Kong.
With the effort from
six local industry-related organisations, the
Hong Kong ICT Awards 2006 had drawn over 300 entries
for the seven award categories; and successfully
increased the awareness amongst the industry and
the public. Following the success of the Awards
in 2006, the Hong Kong ICT Awards 2007 will be
another focal point of the industry in 2007.
