The six Digital Pioneers (three from Hong Kong, three from the UK) will be formally announced at the Digital Entertainment Leadership Forum on 21 March 2007. The three Hong Kong Digital Pioneers will embark on their first 10-day trip to the UK with the programme in late March 2006 to meet with industry professionals and their assigned mentors. From then to the end of 2007, the Digital Pioneers will receive guidance from their assigned mentors on their professional development and will visit the UK for the second time with the programme to work in a creative company that the programme has assigned them to as advised by their mentors.
