May 2000 Issue the bulletin
Ten companies received honours in the two categories of the award: New SME and Best Managed SME. Everbright Group Limited walked away with the New SME Gold Award, while Carven Circuits Limited received the Best Managed SME Gold Award. Chairman of the Organising Committee of the Hong Kong SME Award Denis Lee said at the awards presentation, "The recent economic turmoil has brought new challenges to small and medium enterprises (SMEs). With rapid changes in the operating environment, companies in Hong Kong are reassessing and repositioning themselves in order to stay ahead in the increasingly competitive markets both domestically and abroad. I am pleased to note that these qualities are shared by many of the award entrants." Recognising the importance of small and medium enterprises and their contribution to Hong Kong's economy, the Hong Kong SME Award aims to promote the development of SMEs by identifying successful models to spearhead Hong Kong's continued economic growth. The award, into its second consecutive year, had made innovation and finance its main theme for 2000. Mr Lee said Hong Kong SMEs are "the lustre of pearls." He explained, "Although small, they are bright. Hong Kong, the Pearl of the Orient, will lose its lustre without the SMEs."
