Make an I&T Wish at the E&M InnoPortal

The EMSD has been committed to acting as the Innovation Facilitator for the Government to promote the development of I&T in Hong Kong. The EMSD launched the E&M InnoPortal (InnoPortal) in March 2018. With the core concepts of "Connect", "Share" and "Co-Create", it matches the E&M service needs of government departments and public organisations with the I&T solutions of start-ups, universities and research institutes, so as to jointly promote the application of research and development achievements as well as realising the I&T wishes of our client departments.

Matching Process:

1. Publish the service needs of government departments, public organisations and the E&M trades
2. Collect I&T solutions from organisations such as start-ups, universities, etc.
3. Carry out matching through the InnoPortal
4. Carry out trials in the form of prototype testing or pilot projects at the shared testing venues at the EMSD
5. Upload test reports to the InnoPortal for sharing with the public
6. Government departments, public organisations and the E&M trades can enhance their services by the application of new technologies
7. The I&T sector can refine and validate their solutions
