The “iCity” initiative is supported by the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer (OGCIO) of the HKSAR and organized by Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong, with DotAsia Organisation as a Cooperating Partner.
iCity is a series of events with a core mission to stimulate the interest of teenagers by highlighting ICT (Information & Communications Technology) as an agent of change and the decisive factor fuelling the engine of growth in a knowledge-based economy.
Students in higher forms are just beginning to become interested in social affairs and are exploring their future roles and responsibilities in society, and therefore iCity emphasizes the power of ICT innovations to induce changes in society and encourage students to consider pursuing ICT-related studies and careers.
A series of events are planned for 2013. Our first round of exciting components includes:
- iCity NetY Ambassadors Program
- iCity Opening Ceremony and Experience Sharing
- iCity Research & Open Knowledgebase
