The URA x IVE Innovation Design Competition 2021/22 was organised by IVE Engineering in partnership with the Urban Renewal Authority (URA), marking another year of cooperation on this event. Under the theme “智SMART新生活”, student competitors were invited to design an intelligent device to promote smart living and offer sustainable solutions to raise the living standard in an ageing urban district -- Sham Shui Po. All submissions were required to deploy new technology or information technology solutions such as artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), data analytics, and cloud computing. The competition this year attracted 38 teams, comprising over 80 students to compete for multiple prizes.
To inspire the participating students in hatching creative ideas to address the needs of residents in Sham Shui Po, Dr Carlos Tam, HKT Assistant Vice President and Digital Business Development Director, was invited to deliver a talk on transformation of emerging technologies in the Smart City era to enhance the participants’ knowledge of smart technology development.
