     Championed by the Government, the HKAI aims to recognise the outstanding achievements of Hong Kong enterprises in pursuit of high technology and high value-added activities, and to commend excellence in various aspects of their performance.

Other deserving entries will be presented with an award or a certificate of merit.  All award winners are entitled to display the official logo of the HKAI and receive the HKAI trophy or certificate as a permanent memento of their achievements.

     The HKAI was launched in 2005 by merging the former Hong Kong Awards for Industry and the former Hong Kong Awards for Services, established in 1989 and 1997 respectively.  Over the years, the awards have recognised and commended the excellent performance of about 930 companies.

     Media partners for the 2015 HKAI are Hong Kong Economic Times, Metro Finance and Metro Finance Digital.  For further information, please visit the HKAI website or contact the respective leading organisers (contact details on the website) or the Trade and Industry Department (the secretariat of the Organising Committee of the HKAI can be contacted via email at hkai@tid.gov.hk or tel. 2398 5551).
