Government announces projects under third InnoHK research cluster
*****************************************************************
The spokesman for the Innovation and Technology Commission said, "These approved proposals span a range of innovation and technology (I&T) fields, including sustainable development, energy, advanced manufacturing and materials (see Annex). The research and development (R&D) laboratories to be funded will be carried out in collaboration with world-renowned universities and research institutions. Their setting up will not only demonstrate Hong Kong's robust R&D capabilities and international collaboration network, but also bring tangible benefits to society."
The ITC will work closely with the participating universities and research institutions to facilitate the smooth implementation of the projects. The R&D centres under this cluster will be established in phases starting in the first half of this year.
InnoHK is a major I&T initiative of the Government to develop Hong Kong as a hub for global research collaboration, with the aim to attract institutions that are among the global top echelon to collaborate with local universities/institutions to set up research centres/laboratories in Hong Kong. It will not only facilitate top-notch universities, research institutes and the industries to collaborate in R&D, but also promote the translation of R&D outcomes into impactful, real-world applications and the development of relevant industries in Hong Kong. Two InnoHK research clusters have already been established, namely Health@InnoHK focusing on healthcare technology, and AIR@InnoHK focusing on artificial intelligence and robotics technologies. The third cluster, namely SEAM@InnoHK, will focus on sustainable development, energy, advanced manufacturing and materials.
