beNovelty “OpenAPIHub” Wins the 2020 Hong Kong ICT Awards
beNovelty Limited, a leading API technology company, is proud to be awarded ICT Startup (Software and Apps) Silver Award in the 2020 Hong Kong ICT Awards by the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer (OGCIO). The award ceremony was held online on 18 Nov 2020.
The one-stop open API platform “OpenAPIHub” launched by beNovelty in 2018 was the awarded solution. Open API is still a new concept in Hong Kong, which developers face different problems when trying to adopt it, e.g., the construction of a compliant API platform is hardly affordable and companies might need to spend over millions on developing a platform. Moreover, API platforms have to support the continuous transmission of confidential data, so it must equip with high quality and compliant security system. All these factors discourage start-ups and SMEs to develop a API platform. Despite the monetary cost and technical requirements on developing the platforms, the lack of API network also creates an information gap between the enterprises and developers, which they cannot partner up easily. beNovelty aims to solve the above problems by developing the “OpenAPIHub“.
“It’s a great honor to be recognized by OGCIO and the judging panel of the 2020 Hong Kong ICT Awards. I believe this award can increase the confidence for public and industries to adopt open API.” said Patrick Fan, CEO of beNovelty. “beNovelty is committed to assist third-party service providers to use API to develop digital business, integrate and automate the working procedure. We help large enterprises, SMEs, and start-ups to tackle their pain points with different approaches. For example, we provide consulting services for large enterprises, including API enhancing and employee training. For SMEs and start-ups, we focus on using the OpenAPIHub platform to help them find more business opportunities, build an API ecosystem, and encourage all stakeholders to make digital connections.”
beNovelty has partnered with more than 50 companies across 6 industries, including financial institutions, healthcare, education and catering service. Featured partners include the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, Hong Kong Science Park and Jardine Catering Group, etc.
