With this in mind, we have been collaborating closely with local universities and technical institutes in the region through internship programs and scholarship opportunities, and also launched the ASM Technology Award in Hong Kong three years ago to recognize and reward students with outstanding Final Year Projects which demonstrate excellence in technology and innovation.
