Although the<em> World Economic Forum<\/em> points to innovation as a main factor behind the city\u2019s competitiveness in today\u2019s global markets, many analysts argue that the \u201clack of innovation\u201d is one of the five major challenges to the city\u2019s future economic development. The World Green Organization (WGO), aiming to address and counter these new challenges, initiated a competition to ignite youngster\u2019s passion and inspire creativity, encouraging the city\u2019s youth to generate and adopt innovative ideas to tackle social problems. Ultimately, in response to the five challenges Hong Kong faces, the WGO was inspired to create and facilitate the <em>\u201cSocial Innovation Inventor \u2013 Competition for Innovative Design Competition\u201d<\/em>.<\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"color: #666666;\">The aim of this competition is to encourage Hong Kong students to unleash their imagination, promote creativity, apply their knowledge practically; and, at the same time, engender the spirit of caring in our community.<\/h3>\n<p><div class=\"ezcol ezcol-one-half\">\n<figure style=\"width: 485px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thewgo.org\/site\/inventor2018-2019-intro\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/thewgo.org\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/header.jpg\" width=\"485\" height=\"212\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">2018 &#8211; 2019<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div> <\/p>\n<p><div class=\"ezcol ezcol-one-half\">\n<figure style=\"width: 485px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thewgo.org\/site\/inventor2017-2018-intro\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/thewgo.org\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/header.jpg\" width=\"485\" height=\"212\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">2017 &#8211; 2018<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><br \/>\n<div class=\"ezcol ezcol-one-half ezcol-last\">\n<figure style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thewgo.org\/site-eng\/inventor2016-2017-intro\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"   \" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/thewgo.org\/linked\/sii4\/2016-2017.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"219\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">2016 &#8211; 2017<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><div class=\"ezcol-divider\"><\/div><br \/>\n<div class=\"ezcol ezcol-one-half\">\n<figure style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thewgo.org\/site-eng\/inventor3-intro\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"    \" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/thewgo.org\/linked\/sii3\/2015-e.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"219\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">2015 &#8211; 2016<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div> <div class=\"ezcol ezcol-one-half ezcol-last\">\n<figure style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thewgo.org\/site-eng\/inventor2-intro\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"   \" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/thewgo.org\/linked\/sii2\/all\/2014-2015.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"219\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">2014 &#8211; 2015<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><div class=\"ezcol-divider\"><\/div><br \/>\n<div class=\"ezcol ezcol-one-half\">\n<figure style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thewgo.org\/site-eng\/inventor-intro\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" \" alt=\"\" src=\" http:\/\/thewgo.org\/linked\/sii2\/all\/2013-2014.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"219\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">2013 &#8211; 2014<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div> <div class=\"ezcol ezcol-one-half ezcol-last\"> <\/div><div class=\"ezcol-divider\"><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hong Kong came into being as a small fishing village, in which state it largely remained, until the 1960s when it began to evolve into the international financial center it is today.
