One of its standing committees, the CIO Board, is composed of CIOs whose IT related procurement accounts for about 70% of all IT spending in HK.
The Hong Kong Computer Society (HKCS), founded in 1970, is the first officially recognised professional association for the ICT industry in Hong Kong, dedicated to the promotion of the highest professional standards for the industry. Founded in 1970, the Hong Kong Computer Society (HKCS), with over 8,000 members hail from the entire spectrum of HK’s IT community, is a well-recognised non-profit or
ganization focused on advancing the interests of Hong Kong's IT profession and industry. The Society is committed to the following main goals:
- Talent cultivation and professional development
- Industry development and collaboration
- The effective use of IT in our community
The 25 Members of the HKCS Council, and the Honorary Council Advisers, are recognized leaders from major IT vendors, academic institutions, and major corporations. To promote IT in Hong Kong, HKCS organizes regular activities including conferences, seminars, workshops and visits on various subjects related to IT. With Talent Cultivation and Professional Development being our primary goal, the Society persistently encourages our youths to pursue IT-related studies at our tertiary institutions and to take up IT as a career through talks, exhibitions, IT Career toolkit and Portal. Our 7 special interest groups (SIG) (Cloud Computing, Social Media, Mobility, Enterprise Architecture, Business Intelligence and Knowledge Management, Information Security, and Quality Management) disseminate technical and application knowledge of topical interests to in-service professionals through forums and networking activities. The Society is the pioneer in launching IT professional certification in HK, with six certifiable titles, namely three senior titles (Systems Architect, Project Director, Quality Assurance Manager), and three junior titles (Associate Project Manager, Information Security Officer, Business Analyst). To promote our IT industry, HKCS organizes an annual delegation from HK to compete in APICTA (Asia Pacific ICT Awards). In 2011, HK entries have the record breaking results of 5 Grand Awards and 9 Merits, the best performance ever in the history of APICTA by a participating economy.
On 29 May 2026, HKCS iLEAP members presented the iAM Smart – CorpID research project.
iLEAP members demonstrated truly amazing work — diving deep into a complex and critically important topic, bringing fresh perspectives, rigorous research, and actionable insights that added real value to the conversation around digital identity in Hong Kong. Through this journey, they gained invaluable experience in navigating real-world policy challenges, collaborating across diverse stakeholders, and translating strategy into practical recommendations — skills that will define the next generation of IT leaders.
We were honored to have Mr Benny Leung (DPO) and Mr Garmen Chen (KPMG) as guest judges, and extend special thanks to HKT for providing the venue.
This research presentation is a testament to how HKCS iLEAP empowers future IT leaders to tackle complex challenges head-on, while equipping them with the vision and capabilities to drive Hong Kong's digital transformation.
