Receives Best in Smart City Innovation Award — HKMA/HKT Global Innovation Award 2025/26
Smart.Ai Fire is honoured to have received the Best in Smart City Innovation Award at the HKMA/HKT Global Innovation Award 2025/26, presented at the HKMA Global Innovation Day on 29 June 2026 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
The Panel of Judges granted this Special Award in recognition of Smart.Ai Fire's impressive achievements in innovation through the F.A.S.T platform.
About the Award
The HKMA/HKT Global Innovation Award is one of Hong Kong's most established innovation recognition programmes, organised by the Hong Kong Management Association (HKMA) in partnership with HKT. Special Awards are granted independently by the Panel of Judges to entries that demonstrate outstanding achievement in a specific area of innovation.
The Best in Smart City Innovation Special Award reflects the judges' recognition of F.A.S.T as a meaningful contribution to how technology can reshape safety management in the urban built environment.
The HKMA Global Innovation Day
The award was presented as part of HKMA Global Innovation Day — a full-day event that brought together businesses, innovators, investors, and industry leaders for:
Award Presentation Ceremony
Innovation Summit
AI for Industries Open Forum
Exhibition Zones and Networking Sessions
Collaborator Luncheon
The event served as a platform for cross-industry knowledge exchange, networking, and exploring new opportunities across Hong Kong's innovation ecosystem.
What F.A.S.T Represents
F.A.S.T (Fire Alarm Smart Technology) was developed to address persistent pain points in fire safety management — from frequent false alarms and fragmented monitoring to the challenges of statutory compliance in older buildings.
The platform brings together over 25 years of hands-on fire engineering expertise with AI-driven monitoring and IoT connectivity, delivering:
24/7 real-time monitoring across fire detection devices and systems
Predictive maintenance — identifying anomalies and contamination trends before they escalate
Cross-system integration — unifying fragmented infrastructure into a single-pane dashboard
Objective data logging — supporting compliance audit trails and post-incident investigation
Non-intrusive deployment — compatible with existing AFA systems and fully regulation-compliant
The Best in Smart City Innovation recognition reflects what F.A.S.T is fundamentally about: making cities safer through smarter, data-driven fire safety management.
Looking Ahead
This award reinforces what we see every day in the field — the fire safety industry is evolving, and technology-led approaches are increasingly recognised as both viable and necessary.
We remain committed to developing F.A.S.T as a platform that genuinely serves building owners, facility managers, and the broader community — making fire safety more intelligent, more accessible, and more sustainable.
Thank you to HKMA and HKT for this recognition, and to everyone who has supported Smart.Ai Fire on this journey.
