New Industrialisation Elite Enterprises Nurturing Scheme now open for nominations
*********************************************************************************
     The Government announced today (June 18) that the New Industrialisation Elite Enterprises Nurturing Scheme is now open for nominations. The Scheme aims to focus on supporting high-growth enterprises that contribute to the development of new industrialisation in Hong Kong, with the goal of nurturing emerging and future industry enterprises. Designated organisations (see Annex) are invited to nominate eligible outstanding local enterprises.

     The Scheme is advised by the Innovation, Technology and Industry Bureau and implemented by the Hong Kong New Industrialisation Development Alliance, with the Hong Kong Productivity Council as the secretariat.

     An assessment committee comprising professionals and organisations from relevant fields will be formed to conduct comprehensive assessments on the nominated enterprises, and select high-growth enterprises that contribute to the development of new industrialisation in Hong Kong. Selected enterprises will be awarded the honorary title of "New Industrialisation Elite Enterprise", which enables them to more effectively access market resources and forces through the Scheme platform, and hence increases their market visibility and recognition.

     The key eligibility criteria for nominated enterprises are as follows:

(1) Industry sectors: The enterprise's industry sector shall fall within life and health technology; AI and robotics; semiconductors and smart devices; digitalisation, upgrading and transformation; and future and sustainable development. Enterprises in industries with traditional strengths that leverage innovation and technology for upgrading and transformation may also be nominated if they meet the requirements;
(2) Registration and operations: The enterprise shall be registered and operating in Hong Kong for no less than two years and contribute to the local economy; and
(3) Growth potential: The enterprise shall demonstrate high growth potential with outstanding performance in research and development capabilities and growth prospects.

     The Hong Kong Productivity Council will arrange a briefing session to introduce the Scheme's nomination process, assessment criteria and relevant arrangements. Details will be announced in due course.

     For more information, please visit the Scheme's website (www.nies.org.hk). For enquiries, please contact the secretariat of the Scheme (Tel: 2788 5638; email: nies-enquiry@hkpc.org).
