【Community Engagement】Community Project Successfully Launched: Aiming to Bring Positive Changes to Everyday Life
7 September 2024
The launch ceremony for the paint application community project was successfully held in Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong.
This project is part of the “Cool Down for a Better Summer (蔭涼益夏)” campaign, co-organized by Sanskrit, i2Cool Limited, and the Shero Initiative. Its goal is to enhance the comfort of public communities living in high-temperature environments through the application of innovative electricity-free cooling paint, known as iPaint. This patented product, originated from the research team led by Prof. Edwin Tso in SEE, has been commercialized via the startup i2Cool Limited. With strong support from the University Grants Committee (UGC), the Research Grants Council (RGC), the Innovation and Technology Fund (ITF) under the Innovation, Technology and Industry Bureau (ITIB), HK Tech 300, Hong Kong Science and Technology Park (HKSTP), InvestHK, and Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), this technology has been successfully launched and implemented in more than 20 countries/regions in the global market such as Hong Kong, mainland China, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East.
