Made in Hong Kong
The tech industry came together with private and government sectors to safeguard public health amid the Covid-19 pandemic. In just four weeks, HKSTP put together a clean room facility for the mass production of face masks at the Tai Po Industrial Estate. Its partner company Compathnion Technology Limited on the other hand worked with the government to create an app called StayHomeSafe, which ensures people under home quarantine will follow the rules, with minimum disruption to their lives. It is this spirit of collaboration that proves Hong Kong and its innovators can rise to the challenge, and make the impossible possible.
