Location-aware services in complex campuses with large outdoor spaces

The Hong Kong Science and Technology Park (HKSTP) bridges innovators with various stakeholders to turn ideas into market-ready solutions. HKSTP is one of the largest R&D campuses in Hong Kong, which includes over 1,000 technology companies focusing on four strategic areas: Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, Biomedical Data, Smart City, and Fintech. The park campus is a 22-hectare waterfront site with over 24 buildings.

The Challenge

Staff and guests often have to make trips between different parts of the HKSTP campus to access the many facilities from innovation labs to business centers, event halls, seminar rooms, and other facilities like restaurants and fitness centers. Being able to find these facilities has become a real challenge to all.
