HKSTPC Silver Technopreneur Award

Mr. Wong Ka Fai, who is at his second year of study of the MPhil-PhD degree in Mathematics, paired up with a postgraduate student from HKUST and has developed a mobile application named "NavDog" to support visually impaired people. With the seamless hybrid indoor and outdoor positioning technology, real-time navigation instruction, and instant alerting feedback system installed in NavDog, visually impaired people can now travel to anywhere safely, with confidence, and without barriers in both indoors and outdoors.

 

The value-added innovation has brought the team to win the HKSTPC Silver Technopreneur Award in the Dare To Change Business Pitch Competition 2018-2019 organised by the Young Entrepreneurs Development Council.
