On 10 January 2026, HKIIT hosted a Trade-specific Information Session on Innovation and Technology in Shenzhen to promote VPAS eligible VTC full‑time Higher Diploma (2‑year) programmes to non‑local students.
We were honoured to have our esteemed industry partners, Mr Alex Wong, Deputy CEO from Huawei International Co. Limited, and Mr Kelvin Shiu, Vice President (Human Resources, Commercial & Solutions) from HKT Limited as guest speakers. They shared up‑to‑date industry insights, recent company developments and career opportunities, and outlined the technical and transferable skills required of today’s IT professionals.
We were also inspired by non‑local students from the Higher Diploma in Digital Media Technology and the Higher Diploma in Data Science and AI, who candidly shared their HKIIT learning journeys with an audience of some 900 participants both in person and online. Their stories highlighted the practical and industry‑specific learning opportunities that define our programmes.
By embracing HKIIT’s “I + I” (industry+institution) collaboration, we work closely with our industry partners to foster a dynamic synergy between industry expertise and VPET excellence at our institute. This approach ensures our curriculum remains relevant, offers real-life workplace learning experiences, and prepare our students to be job-ready.
Many thanks to our speakers, students and attendees for contributing to a successful and engaging event. We look forward to welcoming more students to HKIIT and continuing to deepen our I + I collaboration to prepare the next generation of tech professionals.

HKIIT co-organised the “Webinar on Cybercrime Information and Defending against Web Attacks” and “Workshop cum Seminar on Cybercrime Information and Web Attack Defense” with the Education Bureau (EDB), the Cyber Security and Technology Crime Bureau (CSTCB) of Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF) and the Digital Policy Office (DPO) on 9 January 2026, with 150 secondary school principals and teachers attended the event.

We are also grateful to have Elastic's support on the workshop session, empowering educators with practical cyber defense technical knowledge. Participating secondary school teachers gained hands-on experience in deploying an open-source monitoring solution to help observe and protect complex school network environments, strengthening visibility, detection capability, and preparedness against cyberattacks.

Through demonstrations and guided practice, the workshop supported teachers in translating cybersecurity theory into actionable steps that they can apply in real school situations, helping to build safer school environments for students and staff.

We look forward to supporting more initiatives that strengthen cybersecurity capability across the education sector.
