Along with The Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce (HKGCC) as our Strategic Partner, this project aims to use the measurement framework developed from last CII project continuously tracking innovations of corporates, and as an enhancement,develop another distinct but correlated measurement framework for SMEs—to ensure a fair and accurate evaluation for all businesses..
