The Hong Kong Open Source Software Centre (HKOSSC), established by the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC), was officially opened on 19 September 2007 to promote the adoption of open source software (OSS) solutions in Hong Kong and support the local software industry in tapping related business opportunities on the Mainland.
Located at the HKPC Building, the HKOSSC provides a range of services including software porting, system testing, solution demonstration, proof-of-concept/pilot projects, technical support, software certification, training as well as research.
