Winners are selected in three categories – Life & Health; New Materials & New Energy; and Advanced Manufacturing with up to five persons or teams receiving awards per category.

They will also gain access to world-class facilities at HK University and expand their network of potential collaborators. This is a unique chance to shape Hong Kong’s role on the world stage!
