The HKAI aims to recognise Hong Kong enterprises in both the manufacturing and services sectors for their outstanding achievements. 

The HKAI covers six categories: the consumer product design category organised by the Federation of Hong Kong Industries; the machinery and machine tools design category organised by the Chinese Manufacturers' Association of Hong Kong; the customer service category organised by the Hong Kong Retail Management Association; the innovation and creativity category organised by the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce; the productivity and quality category organised by the Hong Kong Productivity Council; and the technological achievement category organised by the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation.

The 2011 HKAI media partners are Hong Kong Economic Times, Metro Broadcast and NOW BNC.
