Submissions are open to firms in Hong Kong and internationally, with solutions required to address at least one theme and to be submitted via the competition website by 6 June 2025; a judging panel spanning banking, investment, technology, professional associations and academia will evaluate entries. Winners will be invited to present at the 2025 Green Fintech Symposium on 12 September 2025 as part of 2025 Hong Kong Green Week, and the HKMA noted further opportunities for winners and finalists set out in an annex.
