KE Excellence Award and HKU Innovator Award 2023

The university-level KE Excellence Award was introduced in 2015-16 to recognise outstanding KE accomplishment that has made significant economic, social, environmental or cultural impacts to benefit society.

Recognising innovations is equally important to spur sharing of innovations with the broader community.
