Since 2011, the Innovation and Technology Commission (ITC), HSBC and The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups (HKFYG) have jointly launched the Innovation and Technology Scholarship, injecting new impetus into local innovation and technology (I&T) development by nurturing undergraduates with a passion for technological innovation. Every year, 25 outstanding local undergraduates are selected to receive a Scholarship of up to HKD150,000 each. The Scholarship supports their participation in a series of elite-nurturing initiatives, encompassing overseas/Mainland attachments, local internships, mentorship programmes and service projects. By immersing themselves in a unique learning journey, awardees gain cutting-edge I&T knowledge and experience from around the world and are poised to lead I&T integration across sectors upon their return, contributing their expertise and enthusiasm to the I&T future of Hong Kong.

Congratulations to Ka Chun and Matthew!
