Acting Financial Secretary Michael Wong officiated today at the opening ceremony of the InnoCarnival 2025, which showcases local innovation and technology (I&T) achievements.

Mr Wong said that the Government will continue to leverage Hong Kong's strengths to promote I&T development through policy guidance, financial support and talent cultivation, thereby reinforcing Hong Kong's position as an international I&T centre.

He expressed hope that the carnival will encourage members of the public to explore and experience the many benefits that I&T brings to society, and offer their support its ongoing development.

Under the theme "I&T Unlocks Your Dream", the carnival runs from today to next Sunday at the Science Park in Sha Tin.

Organised by the Innovation & Technology Commission, it is supported by about 50 programme partners, including local universities, research and development centres and platforms, government departments, and other organisations.

Booths hosted by partners showcase various I&T achievements, as well as interactive games. The programme includes about 150 workshops and more than 10 webinars covering various popular subjects such as artificial intelligence and ecology, with the aim of demonstrating the interface between I&T and people's daily lives.

All activities at the carnival are free of charge, although some require pre-registration.
