CE Hails ICT Awards Winners
Chief Executive Carrie Lam today commended the winners of the Hong Kong ICT Awards 2019 for their outstanding inventions and applications.
Speaking at the event, Mrs Lam said information and communications technology is a core component in many smart city applications.
She encouraged the winners to continue their commitment to innovation and technology excellence and create a better future for the community.
Mrs Lam also said the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area will be the perfect place for innovators to turn their data and ideas into products and services.
