The Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) has made its debut at 4 Years From Now (4YFN), the startup-focused platform held alongside Mobile World Congress, highlighting Hong Kong’s growing ambitions to bring its technology ecosystem onto the global stage. HKSTP continues to strengthen its collaboration with the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) to support Hong Kong technology companies in expanding internationally. Through the joint organisation of the Hong Kong Tech Pavilion, the partnership creates opportunities for local innovators to connect with investors, partners, and markets from around the world.

The initiative is designed to accelerate the globalisation of Hong Kong’s innovation and technology sector while responding to the rising worldwide demand for advanced technology solutions. By fostering international exposure, the programme helps attract global talent, encourage forward-looking investment, and enable startups and entrepreneurs to explore new business opportunities across borders. These efforts aim to empower Hong Kong’s technology enterprises to scale internationally while further strengthening the city’s position as a leading global hub for innovation and technology.

Following a successful presence at last year’s Mobile World Congress, HKSTP returned to the event this year with an expanded role, marking its first participation in the dedicated startup platform 4YFN.

Telecompaper also attended Mobile World Congress, taking a particular interest in the 4YFN programme, where the publication spoke with a range of emerging innovators and startup founders showcasing new technologies and business ideas.

Vista Innotech showcases next-generation camera stabilisation technology

Vista Innotech (VIT) is developing advanced camera stabilisation technologies designed to significantly improve image quality in mobile and portable devices. At the company’s busy exhibition stand, visitors gather to see live demonstrations of its optical image stabilisation solutions. The interest is easy to understand: the difference between a shaky handheld video and the steady, crystal-clear image produced by VIT’s technology is immediately visible.

“We are proud to have developed a full range of OIS technologies, including our Micro Gimbal Stabilizer (MGS), periscope OIS modules and dedicated OIS software,” says Ada Sun, COO of Vista Innotech. “Our MGS and periscope OIS camera modules are extremely compact and can be embedded in most mobile devices, including smartphones. Even under low-light or shaky conditions, our technology can improve image sharpness.”

During the demonstrations, the company shows how a typical handheld camera produces visible motion blur when the user’s hand moves. With the Micro Gimbal Stabilizer activated, however, the same scene appears stable and sharply focused, even while the device is moving.

When asked why this innovation matters, Ada Sun responds with a smile: “Simply because you cannot take every photo twice.”

While smartphones remain an important application, the technology is also designed for a wide range of other devices, including car cameras, drones, sports cameras and other portable imaging systems. Because the stabiliser is exceptionally small, it can be integrated into compact devices without compromising design or performance. Vista Innotech’s Micro Gimbal Stabilizer introduces a new stabilisation approach in which both the image sensor and the lens tilt simultaneously. This dual-axis movement significantly improves stability compared with traditional optical or electronic image stabilisation methods.

“This innovation ensures sharp and clear images, even in low-light environments or under vibration,” Sun explains. “In addition, we provide a complete solution that includes advanced mechanical design and control software, while also supporting large-scale commercial production.”

The company has already filed 120+ patents and got 30+ international awards, like CES 2025 Innovation Awards.
