InnoCarnival 2025 showcases innovations to ignite I&T dreams (with photos)
**************************************************************************
     Organised by the Innovation and Technology Commission (ITC), InnoCarnival 2025 (IC 2025) is being held from today (October 18) to October 26 at the Hong Kong Science Park in Sha Tin. Under the theme "I&T Unlocks Your Dream", this year's Carnival features a number of exhibits of local innovation and technology (I&T) achievements.
 
     The Acting Financial Secretary, Mr Michael Wong, officiated at the opening ceremony of IC 2025. He said that the Government will continue to leverage Hong Kong's strengths to promote I&T development through policy guidance, financial support and talent cultivation, thereby reinforcing Hong Kong's position as an international I&T centre. He expressed hope that the public will be encouraged to explore and experience the many benefits that I&T brings to society through the InnoCarnival, and offer greater support for Hong Kong’s I&T development.
        
     The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups and the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation are campaign partners of IC 2025. The event is receiving support from about 50 programme partners, including local universities, R&D centres and platforms, government departments and other organisations, which have set up booths at the Hong Kong Science Park, showcasing a series of I&T achievements and interactive games. Also, a diverse lineup of about 150 workshops and more than 10 webinars across various popular subjects including artificial intelligence and ecological environment will be available during the Carnival, with the aim of showing the public the close interface between I&T and people's daily lives.
          
     In addition, the second City I&T Grand Challenge: The Showcase will also be staged during IC 2025. Prototypes of the winning solutions will be showcased to the public for trial through real-life scenarios. The second City I&T Grand Challenge was launched under the theme "Hong Kong's Got I&T" to promote an I&T culture and enhance the application of I&T in the community. It invited submissions from different sectors of the community to develop I&T solutions focusing on two subjects, namely "I&T for Nature (Yama)" (improving the operation and management of country parks and campsites, and enhancing hikers' experiences in nature) and "I&T for Community (Community Wellness)" (enhancing support for carers). Twenty winners from the University/Tertiary Institute and Open Groups received support from the ITC. Upon training and refinement of I&T solutions for over half a year, teams have transformed their ideas from the competition into prototypes for trials at over 50 designated venues, including government departments and social communities, involving nearly 5 000 end users.
      
     All IC 2025 activities are free of charge. Some of the activities require pre-registration. Details are available on the thematic webpage (innocarnival.hk). Members of the public are most welcome to join.
