Start-ups and the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park Corporation were big winners at the annual Hong Kong ICT Awards this weekend.
26 partner companies and incubatees based at HKSTP collected 34 prizes at this year's awards, including the top prize.
Nbition Development, makers of a smart coffee machine and app which was highlighted by finance secretary John Tsang Chun-wah in his 2015 budget speech, took home the "Best ICT Startup Grand Award".
Judges said they were impressed by the company's "vision to address an old platform with an excellent concept, and combined with a great team and solid execution strategy."
Outside of HKSTP, winners included Dragon Creative, makers of a gesture-and-voice-controlled Google Glass-esque system which is intended to replace the smartphone.
Mad Glass, which won the top innovation prize, "can make phone calls, text messages, send multimedia to contacts, access personal digital assistant, play media, use GPS navigation, run third-party applications, take photos or record videos, web browsing, use Wi-Fi and pay online."
