Strengthen Connections  Enhance Professionalism

HONG KONG, Nov. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The 5th Hong Kong Public Relations Awards 2023 (HKPRA), organised by Hong Kong Public Relations Professionals’ Association (PRPA), successfully held the Awards Presentation Ceremony cum Gala Dinner on Nov. 1, 2023. Officiated by Mr Michael WONG Wai-lun, GBS, JP, Deputy Financial Secretary, the Government of the HKSAR, the Ceremony presented a total of 28 awards to recognise the professional achievements of the industry and outstanding PR practitioners. Speaking at the Ceremony, Mr WONG said, "Real public relations is about how to tell a good story of an organisation. In other words, it is an art of letting the public know the organisation’s positioning towards its relevant stakeholders. Nevertheless, public relations plays a significant role in letting the organisation’s management know what the public concern is. Public relations practitioners should not be afraid of challenges and should take a result-oriented approach. Public relations is a great profession, here I would like to pay tribute to those who devote themselves in the public relations industry."

The 5th Hong Kong Public Relations Awards 2023 Awards Presentation Ceremony was kicked off by officiating guest Mr Michael WONG Wai-lun, Deputy Financial Secretary, the Government of the HKSAR, Professor Jasper TSANG, the Organising Committee and the Judging Panel.

The 5th HKPRA recognises excellent PR campaigns and outstanding PR professionals with three major award categories, namely the Public Relations Campaign, Individual and Student Awards. Dr John Chan, Chairperson of the Organising Committee of the 5th HKPRA, said, "The Hong Kong Public Relations Awards 2023, held after a break caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, receive enthusiastic support from the industry. With over 50 companies and organisations rendering staunch support in different capacities, this year’s Awards attracted companies and organisations from various sectors as well as PR practitioners to compete for ‘Public Relations campaign Awards’ and individual awards. In addition to the new ‘COVID-19 Response’ category, we also introduced the ‘Future PR Rising Star Awards’, with a view to nurturing a new generation of public relations talent and fostering the development and seamless inheritance of public relations expertise.  It is gratifying to see the high standard of campaigns in this year’s awards, each with its own merits and fully consistent with this year’s theme of ‘Strengthening Connections, Professionalism’."

For the Public Relations Campaign Awards, entrants were judged by an esteemed panel comprising 15 leaders and experts from the business, public relations, media, NGO and academic fields. "This year’s entrants and winners are a select group of responsible, energetic and creative public relations professionals who promulgate positive messages to relevant stakeholders. As Chief Judge, I would like to sincerely thank the 14 distinguished elites not only from public relations profession but also business, media and academia organisations who, with their rich experience, have selflessly given their time and precious comments to carefully select the outstanding winning entries," said Mr George Yuen, Vice Chairperson of the Organising Committee and the Chief Judge.

The HKPRA, organised by PRPA, has become a flagship event in the public relations industry in Hong Kong since its inception in 2010. It aims to raise public awareness of the significant role played by public relations in helping organisations to achieve their business goals, as well as recognize the high professional standards and outstanding achievements of PR campaigns organised by various institutions, groups and individual practitioners. Thanks to more than 35 institutions and individuals for their generous sponsorships, support from 12 organisations as well as the assistance of 5 media partners, the event this year was held with great success.

The 5th HKPRA presented 24 awards and special awards to winners in 8 PR Campaign categories, namely Brand/ Reputation Management, Corporate Sustainability, COVID-19 Response, Digital Communications, Event Planning and Management, Integrated Marketing Communications, NGOs/NPOs/Social Enterprises Communications and Stakeholder Engagement.

A Most Creative Campaign Award was presented to the campaign that demonstrated the strongest creativity and generated outstanding business results in communication strategies, tactics and execution.

To commend the outstanding industry practitioners, "Distinguished PR Professional Award" was presented, while The Future PR Rising Star Award was newly added to nurture the next generation of public relations professionals and encourage young talents to join the PR industry.

The second cohort of three start-ups gets a boost in their B2B incubation journey thanks to the Last-mile Testing Programme

HONG KONG, Nov. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The Last-Mile Testing Programme ("LMTP"), organised by Hysan Development Company Limited ("Hysan") in partnership with Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation ("HKSTP"), today concluded its second edition with a Demo Day. The Demo Day showcased the innovative solutions of three shortlisted start-ups under the themes of Smart Living and Smart Sustainability. Hysan and HKSTP, which have been working in partnership since 2022, organised the LMTP as the backbone of The Community Lab, which helps start-ups refine their proof-of-concept ("PoC") ideas and have them validated by end users in live business and industry environments ahead of full deployment.

Three start-up graduates from the Last-mile Testing Programme Cohort 2 showcase their solutions under the themes of Smart Living and Smart Sustainability and reveal their fruits of this unique B2B incubation journey. (From Left) Prof. Chris Lo, Co-Founder, Immune Materials Limited, Mr. Peter Cheung, CFO, Co-Founder, Albacastor Technology Limited, Dr. Crystal Fok, Head of STP Platform, HKSTP, Mr. Tony Ho, Chief Project Development Officer, HKSTP, Mr. Ricky Lui, Executive Director & Chief Operating Officer, Hysan Development, Ms. Julie Wong, General Manager, Sustainability, Hysan Development and Mr. Alfa Lun, Business Development Manager, Palmeco Tech Limited.

The shortlisted start-ups in the second cohort of the LMTP were Albacastor Technology Limited ("Albacastor Technology"), Immune Materials and Palmeco Tech, each of which demonstrated the potential of their concepts for contributing towards the Hong Kong Smart City Blueprint via different real-life industry scenarios. Albacastor Technology conducted a test at Hysan Place’s food court of its UVent Smart Ventilation System, which provides enhanced odour control through advanced air treatment methods. Immune Materials introduced its patented self-disinfecting vegan leather, which is being tested as a material for the public furniture at Lee Garden Two for a safer and more hygienic community environment. In response to the growing demand for retail pop-up shops, Palmeco Tech had their first trial using the reusable Palmeco Master Board to build a white box in shopping malls as an eco-friendly solution for temporary retail spaces.  

The partnership between Hysan and HKSTP has the goal of establishing a foundation for a future smart city in Hong Kong via the core values of Smart Living and Smart Sustainability. As a business incubator for a growing innovation ecosystem, HKSTP facilitates innovation through its vast pool of start-ups. Hysan, with its real estate and retail assets concentrated in the Lee Gardens Area, provides an ideal living lab for HKSTP’s tech ventures to test drive their PoCs in real-life scenarios, right in the heart of Hong Kong.

In addition to providing an authentic setting for testing and fine-tuning their PoCs, the LMTP platform offers an opportunity for the three HKSTP’s start-ups to acquire domain knowledge in real estate from Hysan’s mentors. As a result, the start-ups found that their PoCs were indeed marketable and explored new business opportunities for further development. As Hysan continues to help PoCs become commercially viable in the Lee Gardens Area, The Community Lab will help identify and connect different end users in the market and utilise successful PoCs as case studies.

Mr. Ricky Lui, Executive Director & Chief Operating Officer, Hysan Development Company Limited, said, "Hysan is delighted to partner with HKSTP to help start-ups enter a new stage of growth. Located in the pulsating heart of the city, Lee Gardens serves as a one-stop retail and commercial hub, where we take pride in our expertise in managing community-based businesses. Our hands-on experience and skills in providing an LMTP platform have opened the door on many opportunities for start-ups, allowing them to learn and adapt to the evolving needs of our tenants and stakeholders. This collaboration with HKSTP has sparked synergies that drive continuous improvement, bridging the gap between tenants, start-ups and stakeholders in the I&T ecosystem, in a collective effort to propel Hong Kong’s smart city development to new heights." 

MR. Tony Ho, Chief Project Development Officer of HKSTP said, "Prototype testing is a key part of every innovation. Following in the footsteps of the first cohort, the second cohort saw a closer partnership between HKSTP and Hysan. We are offering invaluable time and cultivating our park companies to commercialise their solutions from R&D results to market adoption. The partnership between Hysan and HKSTP has attracted the attention of countless leading enterprises to be a part of The Last-Mile Testing Programme for advancing Hong Kong’s smart city innovation."

Appendix: Last-mile Testing Programme Cohort Two – List of start-ups, solutions and benefits to community 

1. Albacastor Technology – Effective odour control with UVC

PoC tested:

The PoC tested the effectiveness of their IoT-integrated odour control technology, which includes ultraviolet C and photocatalyst technology. They bridged the perception-data gap by correlating air quality emission data with human perception of odour, focusing on food-related environments. Hysan Place’s food court served as the testing ground for their innovative solution.

Community benefits:

The positive testing results confirmed the system’s effectiveness in controlling odour and improving air quality by managing emissions from food exhaust. This indicates promising potential to enhance the overall ambient air quality for the community. The integration of IoT technology allows real-time air quality monitoring, empowering F&B owners to proactively manage their air exhaust. Furthermore, the system’s capability to establish a stronger scientific correlation between air quality data and human perception of odour provides valuable insights for effective odour control strategies.

Company background:

Incubated by HKSTP and CityU, Albacastor Technology Limited is dedicated to developing green, odour-free and mist-free oil solutions with IoT for different industries. Albacastor Technology is also a listed local manufacturer by both the EPD and EMSD. Its core product, UVent® Smart Ventilation collection, has been implemented in 40 restaurants, hotels and clubhouses in 30 brands in less than two years since inauguration.

2. Immune Materials – Antiviral vegan leather technology for high-touch surfaces

PoC tested:

As a PoC, a long-lasting, self-disinfecting vegan leather furniture upholstery with antiviral technology was applied to high-touch surfaces in Lee Garden Two. By incorporating this innovative solution, the surfaces were provided with continuous protection against viruses, demonstrating the potential of the technology to enhance hygiene and safety in public spaces.

Community benefits

In the context of maintaining hygiene standards and reducing the risk of contact transmission of infectious diseases, this technology demonstrates the potential of creating safer environments for users in various public spaces. The positive results from the trial showcased its high potential for broader applications in public spaces or areas with high traffic, as well as in settings that demand stringent hygiene standards. The solution offers the added benefit of reducing resources required for maintaining hygiene, contributing to efficiency and cost savings.

Company background:

Immune Materials Limited (IML) is a pioneering company founded by Prof. Chi-wai KAN and Prof. Chris LO, in collaboration with their esteemed research team from Hong Kong Polytechnic University. By utilising in-house formulations, IML develops antiviral and antibacterial plastic products through 3D printing and other conventional manufacturing processes.

3. Palmeco Tech – Flexible, eco-friendly retail pop-ups

PoC tested:

The PoC involved testing a white box pop-up shop on Hysan Place’s retail floor, measuring 4m x 3m (12 sqm) to showcase a more efficient, straightforward and streamlined process enabled by Palmeco’s environmentally friendly, palm-based natural materials and modular designs. The modular components of the pop-up shop can be reused, further promoting sustainability and waste reduction.

Community benefits:

The traditional shop refurbishment method often entails extensive manpower and on-site wet trades, resulting in inefficient and time-consuming processes. This approach also generates a significant amount of waste upon the end of use. Palmeco’s white box pop-up shop solution offers an improved approach to shop refurbishment that prioritises both flexibility and sustainability. The utilisation of modular panels is anticipated to significantly reduce time and labour costs, accelerating the refurbishment process. Furthermore, Palmeco’s environmentally friendly material promotes a more sustainable construction industry and a more circular economy.

Company background:

Palmeco Tech Limited is an innovation-driven company committed to creating the next generation of eco-friendly, low carbon building materials to combat climate change caused by inefficiencies in the construction industry.
