HKSTP Tech Ventures Honoured with International Innovation Awards at CES 2024

(Hong Kong, 10 January 2024) — Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) is attending the celebrated Consumer Electronics Show 2024 (CES 2024) in Las Vegas, US. HKSTP along with the Hong Kong Trade Development Council and the Hong Kong Electronic Industries Association Ltd (HKEIA), is leading a delegation of 20 Hong Kong innovative technology enterprises to participate in the prestigious showcase. The “Hong Kong Tech” pavilion, an exhibition area located within CES’s Eureka Park – specifically designed for startups – is showcasing a variety of local R&D achievements across four cutting-edge innovation sectors that create better quality of life: “AI and Data”, “Advanced Manufacturing”, “Life & Health”, and “Sustainability”.

Two of HKSTP’s Park companies have received “CES Innovation Awards” at CES 2024. Both award-winning companies have participated in HKSTP’s Incubation and Acceleration Programmes.

• AI Guided Limited’s "GUIDi™ Smart Belt" won in the "Accessibility and Aging Tech" category. This smart belt offers real-time, 360-degree navigation and route guidance for visually impaired people through MEMS and AI technology, enhancing their travel safety and independence.
• The “0.13'' Micro-LED Display Module" developed by Sitan Semiconductor International Co Limited, features an ultra-high pixel density (10,000 ppi) and provides AR/XR products with the advantages of vivid and genuine colour, long lifetime, and excellent product efficiency. It also received an Innovation Award in the “XR Technologies and Accessories” category at CES.

The “CES Innovation Awards” represents the highest distinction at CES, recognising products that demonstrate unparalleled innovation over the past year. These products are evaluated based on their engineering quality, aesthetics, design, practical value, uniqueness, and their impact on improving quality of life. Other innovative Hong Kong technologies also attracted considerable interest at the show, with business matchmaking sessions organised to generate extensive business opportunities for Hong Kong's tech start-ups, both locally and globally.

• HairCoSys demonstrated a new hair care application powered by big data and AI to assess hair health. The application can easily be installed on tablets, enabling users to check their hair health at their convenience, wherever they are, and obtain personalised care plans.
• Mangdang Technology has engineered the Mini Pupper, a quadruped robot powered by open-source software targeted to STEAM education. The new generation of robotic tool features simultaneous localisation and mapping functions, allowing it to navigate and move around autonomously. The front camera utilises AI to recognise objects and even gestures, providing a multifaceted platform for building a sophisticated robotic application based on users’ needs.

Furthermore, Ir Dr HL Yiu, Chief Corporate Development Officer of HKSTP, will attend the “Talk to China” dialogue series. He will share his insights on cutting-edge I&T trends, industry development, and how HKSTP is fostering global startup expansion.
