Successful Applications from 200+ Schools Every Year - Trumptech Helps you Expand Innovation and Incubation Programme

To cultivate talent in innovation and technology, the government will allocate HKD 134 million over the next 2 academic years to expand the ‘Knowing More About IT’ program. This initiative aims to enhance primary school students’ interest in and application of information technology. Each publicly funded primary school will receive up to HKD 300,000 in funding for the 2024/25 and 2025/26 academic years. This funding can be used to organize IT-related activities and procure necessary IT equipment and related professional services.

Additionally, in the 2023/24 academic year, the OGCIO introduced the second round ‘IT Innovation Lab in Secondary School’ program, which spans three academic years. The goal is to deepen students’ understanding of cutting-edge information technology, including artificial intelligence, blockchain, cloud computing, and big data. The program aims to establish a strong foundation in information technology for young people during their secondary school years.

Both the ‘Knowing More About IT’ and ‘IT Innovation Lab in Secondary School’ programs provide excellent opportunities for primary and secondary school students to explore and participate in innovative work within the field of information technology. We hope this initiative inspires more students to discover their potential in the IT domain.
