About WTISD-HK

Theme: Bridging The Standardization Gap

The annual observance of World Telecommunication Day, which marks the founding of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) on May 17, 1865, drew attention to the work of ITU and the challenges of global communication. The purpose of this observance is to help raise awareness of the possibilities that the internet and other information and communication technologies could bring to societies and economies, as well as of ways to bridge the digital divide.

With the principal support of the Office of Communications Authority (OFCA) and a number of sponsors in the industry, CAHK has been hosting the captioned event since 2007, capitalizing on the opportunity to promoting the latest in ICT to the public and especially the youth and the academic communities. In this age of technology revolution, young people are at the forefront, not only the users but also as the innovators.

In May 2019, we will join other members of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) to celebrate World Telecommunication & Information Society Day (WTISD) 2019 theme "Bridging the Standardization Gap". Taking this opportunity, CAHK would like to joint force with schools and ICT Industry in inspiring students’ imagination and creativity how innovation and technology can solve social challenges encounter in our daily lives through various activities of WTISD closely following the theme provided by ITU.

CAHK has arranged a series of promotional and educational events throughout March to May of 2019 including an "ICT Open Day", "Geocaching Competition" and our newly established activities 3 Hong Kong "Smarter Senior Programme" as well as HKT "Bridging the Gap with Innovation and Technology" Essay Competition. The Prize Presentation Ceremony is scheduled to be held on 11 May 2019. We hope that these activities will inspire many more bright young minds to keep thinking differently and try to better our community.

關於香港世界電訊及資訊社會日

主題: 攜手推動數碼共融 你我同創智慧城市

「世界電訊及資訊社會日」是為紀念國際電信聯盟(ITU)於1865年5月17日成立而設的紀念活動,目的是提醒我們ITU一直於推動全球資訊科技發展上不遺餘力。今年,我們同樣希望透過一連串的活動,提醒大眾,資訊科技發展已融入各行各業中,為社會經濟高速發展奠下重要基石,造就發展成為數碼社會的重要橋樑。

在通訊事務管理局全力支持,以及得到資訊科技界的贊助,香港通訊業聯會(下稱"聯會") 自2007年開始主辦「香港世界電訊及資訊社會日」,旨在提高社會大眾,特别是青少年與學界對創新資訊科技的認識及關注。在這個科技高速發展的年代,青少年創意無限,他們不再是科技的使用者,更是科技的創新者。

國際電訊聯盟(ITU)把2019年的「香港世界電訊及資訊社會日」主題定為「攜手推動數碼共融 你我同創智慧城市」。藉此機會,聯會希望結集學界和ICT業界的努力,於本年3至5月舉辦一系列的活動,把大會主題訊息宣揚給社會大眾。 活動包括「資訊科技開放日」、「無線定位尋寶比賽」,以及關於今年主題的兩項活動及比賽為 3香港 「智醒老友記創科生活體驗日」及 香港電訊「創科生活推動社會共融」徵文比賽。比賽活動獎項將於2019年5月11日之「香港世界電訊及資訊社會日」頒獎典禮中頒發。希望透過本年度的各項活動,讓青少年體會如何善用創新科技來改善我們未來的生活。
