「首選香港創新科技」 群組集合業界精英， 團結業界力量
讓香港創新科技業活起來， 令香港人引以為傲

【香港，2011 年11 月29 日】香港互聯網協會(ISOC HK)全力支持「首選香港創新科技」群組(Hong Kong Innovative Technology Preferred， HKITP)，團結業界力量，讓香港創新科技業活起來。於今年五月六日成立的「首選香港創新科技」群組， 日前於香港科學園召開第三次腦震盪大會。 為改變現時香港政府及企業既有的慣性采購態度， 首選外國品牌而忽略本地的創新科技服務及產品， 引致本地公司嚴重缺乏臨床經驗， 專業技術外流， 另外，投資則重地產及股票行業，更導致新一代的人才轉向金融和地產業發展， 造成嚴重的科技人才斷層。 為改變香港現有的營商環境， 鼓勵創新科技人才匯聚，今天集合業界精英， 團結一致， 支持香港的創新科技業， 擴大本地市場， 培育更多的創新科技公司， 讓整個行業能自給自足、「活」起來，從而吸引更多資金投入。

「自從1995年， 商業電台開始推動只播放本地原創歌曲， 從此香港本地樂壇百花齊放， 到今天人才輩出。 因為有市場， 便有投資; 有了投資，便能培育人才， 使業界強大起來。 香港政府透過如創新科技基金、科學園及數碼港等項目，對業界提供很多的支援， 但所提供的都是啓動和研發方面， 對市場發展的幫助卻嚴重缺乏。 需知一間公司能成長起來，市場的發展才是生存之道， 縱是巨大投資， 如果沒有市場接力， 總有花光的一天。 更好的概念， 也因沒有市場而胎死腹中。」 「首選香港創新科技」召集人李德豪博士續說: 「本地市場是必需的。只要香港人支持並應用香港創新科技產品及服務， 香港創新科技的公司才能專注研發，產品自然更趨成熟， 性能更卓越， 更能成功推向國際， 龐大的市場便會吸引本地的投資者。 有市場，有出路，有未來， 學界亦能吸引更多學生選擇創新科技，整個行業也能活起來。」

香港互聯網協會創會主席莫乃光先生表示：「香港互聯網協會不斷在業界、政府、企業、公眾以至技術層面努力，致力推動香港資訊科技發展，希望讓更多人能分享資訊科技發展的成果。香港互聯網協會全力支持「首選香港創新科技」群組，推動應用香港創新科技產品及服務，讓更多人認識、了解本地創新科技產品及服務的質素，其實已經達至國際級水平。」莫乃光先生建議首先可透過推出「香港創造」認證計劃， 為本地創新科技產品標籤「Q嘜」，成為品質信心保證，並向公眾及企業推廣，從而加強本地市場及使用者的信心，可以成為行動的重要第一步。

「香港創新科技的水準已達到國際級。」 香港天使投資脈絡有限公司主席楊德斌先生續道：「除了在華爾街日報科技創新獎(Asia Wall Street Journal Innovation Award)，   「德勤亞太高科技、高成長50強」 (Deloitte Technology Fast50 Asia Pacific)， 及Asia Pacific ICT Award (APICTA) 榮獲最高殊榮，今年香港科技園培育的5 間公司， 更獲天使投資者垂青， 投資總值一千四百萬。」

「沒有本地市場的臨床經驗， 如何能進攻國際市場? 有幸能進攻海外， 香港又缺乏基金投資，結果，優秀的香港產品卻變成了外國品牌。」香港愛護動物協會資訊科技經理鍾一鳴先生稱：「我們先要選出「首選香港創新科技」的企業、政府部門、非牟利機構， 讓香港創新科技公司更容易找到客戶和試點， 本地的內需市場擴大， 香港便能有更多的新技術。」

「有了市場便能阻止創新科技外流，讓香港更繁榮。」國際災難恢復協會香港分會會長許峻城先生道。 「其實，香港的投資者很多，但因香港政府都把重點放到地產和金融市場上。如果本地創新科技市場擴大， 內需市場成功了，再進攻國際市場便更有吸引力。香港創新科技便有極高的投資回報， 聰明的香港人又怎會不投資，年青人又怎會不入行? 今日香港的創新科技公司，只要有潛質的，都有機會被外國基金吸去。 若有了香港的基金投資， 絕對有助香港的人才和科硏技術受到重視，對長遠香港的創新科技業才有發展。」

「香港人『做事穩重踏實、重覆過去的經驗』會做成今天香港創新技術發展的障礙。」 雲深系統有限公司總裁伍燦耀先生「除了品質，還要政府表明立場，像新加坡政府一樣，支持本地創新科技，主動踏出來為香港創新科技公司作成功案例，恊助開拓市場；這樣，香港政府各部門便亦明白大方向，不會因為怕問責、怕多事或默守古老的採構標準，而積極正面的態度去研究並應用香港的創新科技，這樣才能讓香港創新科技業有出路、有未來。」

「傳媒的合作是一個很重要的因素。」互聯網專業協會副主席洪文正先生重申， 「本月中，香港在Asia Pacific ICT Award  (APICTA)中取得了五個金獎，九個優異獎，此成績破了大會的歷史紀錄，回到香港卻默默無聲。排第二的國家只得兩個金獎卻受到英雄級的歡迎和熱列的報導，香港人對創新科技的冷感，政府和傳媒絕對可以做得更好。另外，為'Made-in Hong Kong (創新科技)'訂立一個像Q-Mark 品質保證的LOGO, 無論對本地, 內地或海外的市場推廣都會事伴功倍」

「市場推廣方面， 改變市民的態度亦很重要，要讓普羅大眾都對香港的創新科技感到光榮。」 國際創意及科技總會 (IFOCAT) 始創人馮德聰先生說： 「本會亦明白市場的重要性，並計劃明年初跟傳媒合作，以明星代言人為獎品，推出'香港發明家大賽'，並可能將產品成為電影元素，讓香港人因為香港創新科技而自豪。」

「業界行動一致的向政府表達我們香港創新科技業的要求。」立法會議員譚偉豪博士重申： 「現在政府是需要我們專業的意見去計劃香港的發展。只要我們團結起來，提出我們業界所需要，創新科技是我們祖國的大方向，香港創新科技業必會活起來。」

香港互聯網協會表示強烈不滿

政府《版權條例》一意孤行，不括免再創作或所謂「惡搞」, 選擇性立法

嚴重忽視用戶權益及表達自由

（2011年11月22日）香港互聯網協會(ISOC HK)對政府《版權條例》選擇性立法，嚴重忽視用戶權益及表達自由，表示強烈不滿。香港特區政府商務及經濟發展局修訂《版權條例》，一意孤行，不括免再創作或所謂「惡搞」，因其他修訂有迫切性，以後再處理「惡搞」問題。既然政府已承認括免「惡搞」有理，但為何仍不夠迫切？版權條例諮詢立法週期往往四、五年，這些年，用戶、網民須面對白色恐怖、失去表達自由。香港互聯網協會促請立法會議員有責任阻止政府選擇性立法，保障用戶權益及香港珍而重之的言論自由。

香港互聯網協會(ISOC HK)由2007年起巳多次向政府表達用戶、網民的憂慮及意見。我們固然不鼓勵、不支持、不同意侵權下載等行為，但若一般用戶在網上表達過程中面對刑事責任之險，只怕在他們中間會出現白色恐怖的情況。雖然政府一再向我們表示，以前不納入刑網的行為，將來在立法以後也不應被納入，但既然如此，為何不能為用戶提供些少保障？用戶的安全港又在哪裡？

現在，很多用戶團體和個人都表示關注所謂「惡搞」的問題。其實「惡搞」一詞容易令人誤會以為這是立心不良的行為，但其實這只是表達自由的一個方法，言論自由的一部分，必須被保護。

這種可以稱為政治諷刺（political parody, satire）的行為，在修訂條例中得不到在刑責下被括免，但現在網絡世界中爭取此括免的聲音非常明顯，令人懷疑，在之前幾年的諮詢中，用戶的強烈聲音政府是否聽不見？

香港互聯網協會強烈要求政府把諷刺式的再創作這種表達行為，包括政治諷刺，例如改歌、改片、改相這些行為，納入括免範圍，以平衡保護知識產權與真正鼓勵創意，不要選擇性立法。
