Join us for CSDI Awards 2025 Sharing Session, where talented Open Category finalists showcasing their innovative uses of spatial data to the development of the Northern Metropolis. We encourage all participants to engage with these finalists, embrace new opportunities, unlock new business potential.

Champion: Carbonauts - Carbonopolis

Members:
    PEI Chenya
    SHAN Yan
    DENG Wenqian
    WU Kunheng
    LI Zhihao
    ZHENG Jiacheng

Introduction:

Carbon Monopoly envisions net-zero development in Northern Metropolitan, using San Tin as an example to quantify the impact of development on the natural environment. It offers a comprehensive carbon management solution through a "game" and a "data platform." The game design encourages the public to rationally consider the relationship between development and the environment, and to understand how technology can reduce environmental impacts. The carbon data platform emphasizes monitoring carbon emissions from land development, construction, and operation perspectives, aiming for sustainable development in Northern Metropolitan.

1st Runner-up: Pathfinder - Co-creating the future of SAFE Low Altitude Economy (LAE) in the Northern Metropolis

Members:
    CHAN Chun Kit Jacky
    KAN Wing Chung
    MA Chun Kit Vincent
    CHOI Ming Tak
    CHUNG Siu Kay Ken
    TANG Tin

Introduction:

"OpenGAIN" co-creates a secure Low-Altitude Economy future for Hong Kong's Northern Metropolis by leveraging 30 integrated data streams—including real-time IoT feeds, GIS analytics, and AI—to resolve critical pain points. The platform enables shared flight planning, delivers real-time 3D airspace intelligence, performs spatial analysis of takeoff sites, incorporates SORA ground risk mapping, and provides AI-powered congestion alerts. This comprehensive approach empowers citizens to fly safely, allows the government to govern airspace dynamically, enables precision insurance underwriting, accelerates emergency drone deployment, ensures reliable logistics delivery, and safeguards migratory bird eco-corridors for balanced ecological coexistence

2nd Runner-up: GeoVista - BGI Insight Hub

Members:
    CHEUNG Wing Ki
    CHAU Hoi Ching

Introduction:

BGI Insight Hub is a map-centric web application designed to promote flood resilience in Northern Metropolis (NM) to general public. By leveraging ArcGIS, it visualizes site suitability for blue-green infrastructure (BGI), offers flood simulations in NM, and provides educational infographics to raise public awareness. It empowers urban planners, residents, and agencies with data-driven tools for sustainable urban development. Using spatial data like terrain, drainage, and rainfall, it optimizes BGI placement, reduces flooding, and preserves ecosystems, fostering a flood resilient and livable NM.
