The diversity, creativity, and excellence of Cyberport community start-ups and solutions once again captured the spotlight at the Hong Kong ICT Awards 2022. Last month, 27 start-ups won a total of 31 awards across seven categories.
With innovative solutions that included blockchain-powered credentials, microinsurance, and ESG solutions, as well as acoustic technology, flight simulation, and smart urban farming, the start-ups demonstrated the vision and applicability of digital solutions, as well as the plethora of I&T talent in Hong Kong that developed them.

Smart Living received 14 awards, comprising one grand, four gold, three silver, and two bronze. Digital Entertainment start-ups also took home six awards, including one grand, two gold, and one silver.
