[For Immediate Release]

The Centre for Advances in Reliability and Safety (CAiRS) participated in the International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva 2024 as an exhibitor for the first time. The Hong Kong Polytechnic University won a total of 45 awards, of which PolyU's three InnoHK R&D Centres (@InnoHK) won a total of 19 awards.  Among these 19 awards, CAiRS has 12, 1 gold with Prize of the International Federation of Inventors’ Association (IFIA), 2 gold, 4 silver and 4 bronze awards respectively for all of our 11 entries.

This is the first time that we participated in such a large-scale event on the international stage.  We are delighted with our team’s achievements at the 49^th International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva.  It showcases our commitment to conform high-quality R&D and innovative technologies on reliability and safety projects at the global scientific stage.  CAiRS' research and development projects have an important and critical impact on society.  Our mission is to enhance the reliability and safety of advanced products and systems and contribute to the development of a smart city in Hong Kong and beyond. This will help Hong Kong develop into a world-class international innovation and technology hub” highlighted by Prof. Kenneth Lam, CEO & Centre Director of CAiRS.

CAiRS’ contributions and achievements rely on the joint efforts of our team. They use sophisticated technologies to improve the reliability and safety of products and systems and predict remaining useful lives by applying different artificial intelligence models.  CAiRS has only been in operation for four and a half years, the hour of receiving the awards and prizes is a shot in the arm to proof our achievements and contribution to Hong Kong and the world. We would like to thank the team at CAiRS and researchers for their technical expertise and enthusiasm for their work. We would also like to thank our collaborative partners, institutions, and organizations for giving us the opportunity to apply our work in real-time practical deployment.

We look forward to sharing more of our work with our audience, on stages here and far, wherever in the world we may be in the future.
