The 3rd Hong Kong SciTech Pioneers Award 2023-2024

The 3rd Hong Kong SciTech Pioneers Award 2023-2024 is proudly presented by the Y-LOT Foundation, with tremendous support from Innovation and Technology Commission (ITC) and Henderson Land Group serves as the Principal Sponsor. Supported by over thirty esteemed organizations in the thriving innovation and technology (I&T) industry, this prestigious award represents the signature event of Y-LOT’s annual flagship programme, “One SciTech One Future” Series Ⅲ. It aims to provide tangible support and exposure opportunities to outstanding scientists and research teams, as well as recognize their prominent achievements and contributions in the fields of Deep Tech, Biotechnology, Space Science, ESG, and Future Innovation.

Beyond mere acknowledgement, this award symbolizes our unwavering commitment to nurturing the next generation of SciTech pioneers. Since launching the Open Call in November 2024, we have received a multitude of applications and have been diligently preparing for the subsequent Judging Panel Screening and Interview. In December 2024, we hosted a Public Pre-Award Workshop to equip applicants with essential practical knowledge to advance their scientific projects. Following an enthusiastic Public Showcase and Voting for Award Finalists in January-February 2025, we are excited to announce our winners. Join us in celebrating their achievements at the upcoming Award Ceremony!
