Hong Kong's NextGen Logistician Awards 2025 presentation ceremony held to recognise outstanding young logistics talent
The presentation ceremony of Hong Kong's NextGen Logistician Awards 2025 was held today (November 18) during the Asian Logistics, Maritime and Aviation Conference 2025, recognising young talent in the logistics industry who have made significant achievements and shown remarkable potential in innovative, high-end, smart and green logistics.
The Awards is an annual event for the logistics industry advocated by the Transport and Logistics Bureau in the Action Plan on Modern Logistics Development, and is co-organised by various sectors of Hong Kong's logistics trade with the support of the Hong Kong Logistics Development Council (LOGSCOUNCIL). It aims to commend outstanding young logisticians and, through the success stories of the award winners, introduce new development directions of modern logistics to the public with a view to attracting more young people to join the industry to propel its continual growth. Following the success of its inauguration in 2024, the Awards returned in its second edition this year.
Speaking at the ceremony, the Under Secretary for Transport and Logistics, Mr Liu Chun-san, said that he was glad to see the awardees this year representing a wide range of sectors, including e-commerce fulfilment, engineering, technological innovation, container terminal operation and cargo handling. That reflects the multidisciplinary and cross-sector nature of Hong Kong's logistics-hub status. He emphasised that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government will continue nurturing logistics talent through various talent development initiatives, including sponsoring promotion activities, providing job-shadowing and internship placements, and organising school talks and visits to logistics companies for primary and secondary school students, with a view to arousing the younger generation's interest in modern logistics and encouraging them to consider joining the sector in future.
Mr Liu also said that the active participation of industry stakeholders and legislative councilors is indispensable to the development of Hong Kong's logistics industry. Therefore, he encouraged all voters to cast votes on the polling day of the Legislative Council General Election on December 7 to elect representatives who are capable of and dedicated to contributing to a better future for Hong Kong.
This year's Awards featured two categories. A judging panel comprising representatives from the Government, LOGSCOUNCIL and logistics leaders selected the following five winners (in no particular order) through a two-stage adjudication process according to five major criteria, namely professional accomplishments, individual contributions and commitment to the logistics industry, continuous learning and self-development, leadership and pioneering endeavours/being an industry first-mover:
