FAQs

1
What are the objectives of organising the "Industrialist of the Year" Award?

Many industrialists with outstanding achievements are over the age of 45 and are also very worthy of commendation. This award aims to honor an exceptional industrialist who has made significant contributions to Hong Kong industry and socio-economic development, without any age restrictions. They are leaders who possess an innovative spirit and uphold industrial traditions, achieving not only remarkable success in their professional fields but also having a significant impact in the areas of charity and corporate social responsibility.

Why only one per year?
