The Innovation and Technology Commission has launched a new video series to showcase the outstanding projects of its five local R&D Centres, namely, the Automotive Parts and Accessory Systems R&D Centre (APAS), the Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute (ASTRI), the Hong Kong Research Institute of Textiles and Apparel (HKRITA), the Hong Kong R&D Centre for Logistics and Supply Chain Management Enabling Technologies (LSCM) and the Nano and Advanced Materials Institute Limited (NAMI). These five R&D Centres drive and coordinate applied research and development in selected focus areas and promote the commercialisation of their R&D results, thereby improving our quality of life in many ways.

Many students dream of a chance to pursue overseas study, mentored by some industry leaders and gain hands-on experience at reputable companies. The Innovation and Technology Scholarship Scheme has been helping talented students achieve these aspirations.
