CHARGESPOT wins at Hong Kong Business Technology Excellence Awards 2026

The company transformed its citywide power bank network into an interactive digital experience during football events.

CHARGESPOT won Digital - Technology and IoT - Technology in the Hong Kong Business Technology Excellence Awards 2026. The company secured the recognition through a campaign that converted everyday power bank rentals into an active sports participation experience across the city.

Partnering with the Football Association of Hong Kong, China and Hong Kong Representative Team, the brand integrated player-themed power banks into its IoT network. Users located collectible designs across Hong Kong through mobile application features, which turned standard charging routines into an interactive search experience tied to local sports culture.

The initiative transformed application functionality into a real-time engagement system. Live location tracking, availability updates, and redemption mechanisms prompted users to check digital channels regularly to follow collectible items and plan movement across different districts.

Physical deployment strategies focused on key entertainment venues, community spaces, and transport points. High-density charging stations around venues like Kai Tak Sports Park supported heavy user demand during peak match hours, whilst shopping mall activations extended campaign presence into daily leisure routines.

Operational data showed growth across rentals, social media reach, and new user acquisition, alongside higher station utilisation rates compared to standard network baselines. The network adjusted service operations dynamically across match cycles according to event schedules and changing crowd movements across districts.

Social sharing of the collectible devices encouraged fans to document their experiences across online channels, turning physical power bank usage into digital content creation. This continuous cycle between physical rentals and mobile interaction allowed the brand to remain active across both matchdays and ordinary leisure periods.
