Corporate Innovation Index 3.0:
Advancing Hong Kong Corporate Innovation with Strategic Benchmarking and Best Practice
Corporate Innovation Index
An innovation management and assessment tool to promote corporates’ innovation culture and to enhance corporate innovation capabilities and achievements in both large and small corporates in Hong Kong.
What Is A Corporate Innovation Index (CII) ?
In response to the SAR Government’s call for developing HK into an Innovation Hub of the Region, we propose to:
- Establish a conceptual framework of corporate innovation that is suitable for HK in the digital age,
- Develop a set of measurement matrices and recruit 100 corporates and 200 SMEs to participate in the Corporate Innovation Index ranking, and
- For sustainability, (i) produce guidebooks and online, quick CII measurement tools; (ii) conduct workshops and training sessions for business leaders; (iii) repeat the ranking exercise.
This project is funded by the Innovation and Technology Commission (ITC) of the HKSAR, under the General Support Scheme (GSP).
