Innovation & Technology in Public Sector Programme
e.g. LED lighting which is the result of Hong Kong’s R&D work being tested in public
sector: - Bulk head lighting in housing estates under Housing Department;
-
Street lighting on streets under Highway Department and in HKSTP;
- Task lighting in offices under Electrical and Mechanical Services Department
15
Therefore, a company collaborates with a local research institution
in Hong Kong (i.e University or R&D Centre) will benefit the
followings:
 Funding support from ITF;
 Opportunity for testing out in government departments or
quangos (e.g. Hospital Authority);
 Reference which is useful in future marketing (either to bid for
Hong Kong government projects or to penetrate into the
Mainland market)
