This year's three winners of the Outstanding Youth ICT Achiever Awards share a common dedication to hard work, excellence and improving society via technology.
The youngest winner is possibly also the most well known. When Stark Chan Yik-hei's domestic security robot won an engineering award at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in 2004, an asteroid was subsequently named after him.
He was dubbed 'son of the star' in local media and published a best-selling autobiography in 2006.
At 22, Chan is currently CEO of a mobile-application development company, Bull-B. He set up the company shortly after graduating from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.
'I want to make things that can affect human lives and benefit people in our society,' Chan says.
Jordan Cheng Man-fai, the second winner, is no stranger to awards. While an information engineering student at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, he regularly participated in information and communications technology (ICT) competitions. By the time he finished his degree, he had already won 12 awards.
