182 Cyberport start-up graduates inject innovative powers into I&T development
A total of 182 Cyberport start-ups were graduated this year, who completed the Cyberport Incubation Programme (CIP), Cyberport Creative Micro Fund (CCMF) and Cyberport University Partnership Programme (CUPP).
During the programmes, the start-ups benefitted from pivotal support including entrepreneurial training and advisory, and seed funding to transform their innovative ideas into applicable technology solutions and kickstart entrepreneurship; and CIP incubatees even received free office space and holistic entrepreneurial backing to accelerate their start-up growth.
Meanwhile, Cyberport continued to expand its conducive ecosystem for entrepreneurship, strengthening interactive exchange and collaboration within its innovative community, helping start-ups to translate and commercialise their research and development (R&D) outcomes, obtain business and financing opportunities, as well as necessary technological support and professional services, to further expand businesses to the Greater Bay Area (GBA), the Mainland and overseas markets.
At the S, Simon Chan, Cyberport Chairman, said, “As Hong Kong’s key entrepreneurial incubator, Cyberport is pleased to witness outstanding performances of the graduating start-ups, which have achieved industry accolades, significant investment deals and expanded to Mainland and overseas markets. We are indebted to the Entrepreneurship Committee Advisory Group (ECAG) for guidance and entrepreneurial mentors for support, which have inspired and guided more promising innovators through digital technology entrepreneurship. With tremendous support from the national and HKSAR Governments, Hong Kong's innovation and technology (I&T) industry will usher in unprecedented opportunities. Cyberport will continue to support start-ups to realise their entrepreneurial dreams and steer I&T development with innovative prowess.”
