SmarTone Hackathon

The third cross-industry SmarTone Hackathon was successfully concluded on 26 - 27 October 2019. The theme of this year's competition was '5G & Smart City' to demonstrate Hong Kong as a vibrant international city. The competition attracted participation from over 150 local and international software developers, designers and entrepreneurs, among which one third were from Canada, the Greater Bay Area, India, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and USA.

Top 3 winning teams were awarded HK$60,000, HK$30,000 and HK$20,000 respectively together with the latest gadgets. The champion team will also get a fast-track interview opportunity for either Cyberport Creative Micro Fund (CCMF) or Cyberport Incubation Programme for the chance to receive seed funding, while all the winning teams also enjoyed opportunities to be further developed and deployed in SHKP projects.
