Rewarding innovation
Call for Entries for the 2003 Hong Kong Award for Services:
Innovation
The Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce is inviting entries for the
Innovation Category Award of the 2003 Hong Kong Awards for Services. The Chamber launched
the Hong Kong Awards for Services in 1997, which has become the "Oscars" of the
service industries, to promote excellence in the sector.
The Innovation Award promotes innovative culture and creativity among Hong
Kong's service industries. The organiser is looking for innovative service products or
advances in the way an established service is delivered, with demonstrable commercial
achievements and contribution to the wider business community.
The award, which has been running for seven years, has never been more
important. The difficult circumstances that companies find themselves in due to the recent
war in Iraq and the SARS outbreak, although out of their control, heighten the need to
break down conventional wisdom and to develop new ways for businesses to operate. Hong
Kong services providers, from both traditional and modern sectors, must demonstrate
excellence in all aspects to stay ahead in the rapidly changing business environment.
The
award is a recognition of excellence. Through this prestigious scheme, we aim to identify
outstanding and innovative companies to set the benchmark for other services providers.
The deadline for applications July 16, 2003.
