We have pleasure in announcing that we have launched our newly revamped website www.hkrita.com in early Jun.

A new commercialisation section is dedicated to news of our latest research deliverables that are ready for industry application. In addition, new features in the home page include information panels on “Commercialisation Highlights” and “R&D Updates” which provide a quick access to information on our research projects and technologies.

Through www.hkrita.com, we look forward to enhancing communication with the industry and other research organisations and associations as well as keeping the industry abreast of developments in the textiles and apparel world.

We welcome your comments and suggestions on our website.
