Career Prospects

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a fast-developing field throughout the world. According to Fortune Business Insights, the global IoT market was valued at US$190 billion in 2018 and is projected to reach US$1,102.6 billion by 2026. However, Immersat Research finds that around 47% of organisations surveyed do not possess sufficient IoT skills and are outsourcing such work. Gartner Research predicts that around 75% of IoT projects may take twice as long as they should because of the shortage of IoT talent. In 2020, the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region published the Hong Kong Smart City Blueprint 2.0, in which the Government put forward over 130 initiatives, many of them related to IoT. This programme aims at training IoT professionals who will meet Hong Kong’s pressing labour force needs in the emerging IoT area. Students will acquire the necessary professional skills to contribute to IoT development in Hong Kong and overseas by participating in various IoT projects in both public sectors and private companies.
