Our founder, Calvin Cheng, is selected to serve as one of the judges for the prestigious Hong Kong ICT Awards (HKICTA) 2025 FinTech Award. This honor marks a full-circle moment—just four years ago in 2021, Calvin led Wizpresso to the Grand FinTech Award, and now, he returns to the platform, not as a contestant, but as a judge helping shape the next chapter of Hong Kong’s fintech innovation.
