The award was presented by the Premier of Sarawak, Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg during the Gala Dinner for the World Congress on Innovation & Technology (WCIT) and the International Digital Economy Conference Sarawak (IDECS) 2023, held at the Pullman Hotel here on October 5.
“The Entrepreneurship & Startup Award category at the Sarawak Digital Economy Awards celebrates exceptional growth and innovation achieved by entrepreneurs and startups in addressing critical challenges through inventive digital solutions,” said Hornbill Networks Consortium Sdn Bhd in a statement yesterday.
The consortium’s win underscores its dedication to revolutionising the housing industry and contributing to sustainable housing development in the region, particularly through its Samariang Avenue project.
Founded in 2018, the Sarawak Digital Economy Awards (DEA) is a prestigious programme in the state aimed at recognising outstanding contributions in the digital economy.
DEA2023, organised by the Sarawak Multimedia Authority and the Sarawak government, received 139 entries, with 24 finalists, including Hornbill Networks Consortium Sdn Bhd, standing as torchbearers in redefining digital standards.
Hornbill Networks Consortium Sdn Bhd’s groundbreaking Samariang Avenue housing development project exemplifies its commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles in line with Sarawak’s sustainability goals.
This innovative housing development in Petra Jaya integrates smart technology, sustainable living, and a green environment. Buyers of Samariang Avenue homes not only secure a house but also gain access to solar panels, Google smart home systems, rainwater harvesting, and a hydroponic garden, aligning with several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The company is actively working to reduce carbon emissions, explore sustainable alternatives, and set new benchmarks in property development.
This award joins the company’s list of accolades, including the Shell Live Wire Sarawak 2022 award, which recognises its proactive efforts in addressing challenges in the cement industry.
Hornbill Networks Consortium Sdn Bhd is also partnering with the Faculty of Engineering at the University Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS) to pioneer groundbreaking research in housing development using fly ash as a cement additive.
This collaboration aims to address potential future cement supply shortages through innovative solutions.
Excitingly, Hornbill Networks Consortium Sdn Bhd is preparing for the launch of Phase 2 of the Samariang Avenue project. This phase is expected to be a pioneering development in the housing sector in Sarawak, embodying sustainable living in the heart of Petra Jaya, Sarawak, and contributing to digital initiatives in the region.
