The Hong Kong ICT Awards (HKICTA) aims at recognising and promoting outstanding information and communications technology (ICT) inventions and applications, thereby encouraging innovation and excellence among Hong Kong’s ICT talent and enterprises in their constant pursuit of creative and better solutions to meet business and social needs.

The HKICTA was established in 2006 with the collaborative efforts of the industry, academia and the Government. Organised by the Digital Policy Office, and led by Hong Kong ICT industry associations and professional bodies, the Awards aims at building a locally espoused and internationally acclaimed brand of ICT awards.

There are eight categories under the HKICTA 2025. There will be one Grand Award in each category, and an “Award of the Year” will be selected from the eight Grand Awards by the Grand Judging Panel. In addition, in a bid to foster the innovative use of artificial intelligence (AI), a “Best Use of AI” award winner will be selected in each of the eight categories to magnify and honour outstanding achievements in harnessing the power of AI in respective areas.

EdCity is officially appointed by DPO to be the Leading Organiser of the Hong Kong ICT Awards 2025: Student Innovation Award. The Student Innovation Award covers 4 streams, including Primary, Junior Secondary, Senior Secondary and Higher Education. By drawing on innovative strategies and best practices, EdCity hopes to drive innovation within the awards, fostering an environment that encourages students to push boundaries and think outside the box, and ultimately advance the ICT Industry.
