| The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative
Region founded the Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research
Institute Company Limited (ASTRI) in 2001 to capture the promises
of technological advances for Hong Kong through applied research.
In April 2006, the Innovation and Technology Commission (ITC) launched
the Hong Kong R&D Centre Initiative with the objective to promote
applied R&D and facilitate technology transfer and commercialization
under a new strategic framework for innovation and technology development.
Sharing the same missions, ASTRI was designated as the Hong Kong
R&D Centre for Information and Communications Technologies (ICT
R&D Centre) to perform market leading-edge R&D for technology
transfer to industry, develop needed technical human resources and
act as a focal point that brings together industry and university
R&D assets to enhance Hong Kong's technological competitiveness
on a continuous basis.
As Hong Kong's applied technology research center focused on providing
world-class innovative technologies, ASTRI's R&D activities
focus on four closely interrelated
Our goals are to build teams
of excellent researchers who conduct world-class research and create
real economic impact by transferring the intellectual properties
(IPs) they develop in customer-focused ways to our industry customers,
continuously and in volume.
technological domains - IC Designs, Communications Technologies,
Enterprise & Consumer Electronics, and Material & Packaging
Technologies.
Our goals are to build teams of excellent researchers who conduct
world-class research and create real economic impact by transferring
the intellectual properties (IPs) they develop in customer-focused
ways to our industry customers, continuously and in volume. The
objectives will be nothing short of establishing ASTRI as Greater
China's best and the most strategic R&D center in the technology
domain we work in, and become a truly strategic asset that would
enable Hong Kong to capture values from competitive technologies
for years to come.
