The Hong Kong ICT Awards (Awards) aim at building a large scale and internationally recognised branding of ICT awards of Hong Kong under a collaborative effort amongst the industry, the academia and the Government. The Awards recognise, promote and commend the excellent achievements to which Hong Kong ICT professionals and organisations contribute. The Awards also encourage local practitioners to develop innovative and creative ICT solutions, which will uplift the image of Hong Kong ICT sectors, both locally and internationally.

Since it's inception, the Hong Kong ICT Awards have drawn over a significant number of entries for the eight award categories and have successfully increased the awareness amongst the industry and the public.

HKCS is the organiser of the "Hong Kong ICT Awards 2009: Best Business Award" (formerly known as "IT Excellence Awards). The "HKCS – IT Excellence Awards" was established in 1998 to recognise and promote innovative and original design effort by outstanding practitioners in the ICT industry in Hong Kong. This annual event has become a great tool to encourage the use of ICT, stimulate innovation and competitiveness in the ICT industry and raise public awareness of ICT application development.

Selected winners of the Awards will be nominated to participate in the Asia Pacific Information & Communications Technology Awards (APICTA), an annual regional event which aims at stimulating economic and trade relations, technology transfer and business matching opportunities through regional co-operation.
