The Hong Kong nominees come from local enterprises, NGOs and educational institutions.
Ir. Ted Suen, President of HKCS, said, “APICTA, hailed as the Oscars of the ICT industry. I am really delighted that Hong Kong can continue to shine on the APICTA stage, and I convey my warmest congratulations to all of the award winners on behalf of HKCS. Our delegates had to face tough competition vis-à-vis 16 other countries and territories and meet highly demanding judging criteria. Even Merit recipients must attain 95% or more of the Winners’ score to receive the Merit award, so I must say all of the winners are very well-deserved.”
