If you’re looking to win a prize, Hong Kong is the place to be. The city’s prestigious awards honor outstanding students for their academic accomplishments and extracurricular activities. Prizes range from cash to access to Hong Kong research facilities. Some of the most renowned prizes include the BOCHK SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION PRIZE, the Hong Kong Film Award, and the HKSAR History Study Awards.

The BOCHK SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Innovators Prize, also known as the STI Prize, is sponsored by Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited and awarded to researchers who have demonstrated significant innovations in scientific research with the potential to transform R&D outcomes in Hong Kong. The STI Prize is offered in fields of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, Life and Health, New Materials and New Energy, Advanced Manufacturing, and FinTech. A total of five persons or teams will be rewarded each year. Laureates receive a cash prize of HKD 2,000,000, a certificate, and a trophy.

Aside from monetary prizes, the HK Prize aims to inspire students to pursue their passions and excel in various fields. The winner of the HK Prize will be able to take part in a global summit with top scientists, business leaders and renowned entrepreneurs from around the world.

The HK Prize is a great opportunity for people from all backgrounds to make a difference in the world, and it’s a great way to show students that they can achieve anything they put their mind to. The finalists will be announced on May 22 at a gala dinner in Hong Kong.

In order to qualify for the competition, participants must submit a short description of their innovation and a list of their achievements. In addition, they must have a strong background in science and technology, and their ideas must be innovative and practical. The prize is open to students from all levels of education and anyone interested in entrepreneurship.

The prize was established in February 2013 by the generosity of Professor Wang Gungwu, who wished to contribute to the advancement of Hong Kong Studies and his alma mater. The fund was matched by the Hong Kong government through the sixth round of the Government Matching Scheme for Higher Education. In addition to the HK$100,000 prize money, the winners will also be given the opportunity to attend the International Convention of Asia Scholars (ICAS).
