Industry, Innovation & Business Awards in the New Territories and Lantau

North of Kowloon and west across the water, Hong Kong changes character. Sha Tin holds the Science Park, the Chinese University and the racecourse; Kwai Tsing the container terminals that made the city a port; Tsuen Wan, Kwai Chung and Tuen Mun the industrial estates, warehouses and cross-boundary logistics yards; Tseung Kwan O the data centres, the Advanced Manufacturing Centre and the film studios; Yuen Long and the north the fish ponds, the farms and the Northern Metropolis — the new towns, technology parks and Loop being built along the Shenzhen boundary; and Lantau the airport with its cargo terminals, MRO hangars, AsiaWorld-Expo, the Disneyland resort and a planned airport city.

That mix makes the district a place of production, movement, research and infrastructure stories. This guide sets out the programmes that fit and the evidence a jury will expect.

How a jury reads the New Territories and Lantau

An industrial, logistics or research nomination is judged on the same published criteria as any other, and the evidence that counts is specific: output, throughput, tonnage and their growth (indexed if confidential); safety and quality certifications and audits; on-time and service metrics; customer audits; automation and Industry 4.0 progress; research-to-product milestones and spin-outs; energy and emissions results; and, for airport and port businesses, the third-runway and terminal ramp-up. Contribution to national programmes — re-industrialisation, the Northern Metropolis, the Greater Bay Area — is distinctive context when scope and outcomes are stated.

District nominees compete at country level by default and at Asia level in the regional programme.
