As many teachers and parents are no doubt aware, inspiring
kids and teenagers can be an uphill battle. Pushing and cajoling
only goes so far; the truest motivation comes from within. That
is why we launched these programmes to do their shares in
lighting the spark inside our brightest minds of the future.
Cyberport Entrepreneurs: Nurturing the
entrepreneurial spirit
It is tempting to think about entrepreneurialism as going from
zero to Larry Page or Elon Musk in 12 months. In fact, for the
vast majority of digital tech entrepreneurs, the path to the top
can be meandering. It takes courage, commitment, risks and
failures along the way — and sustained support.
Our second leap is about nurturing the entrepreneurial spirit.
By this we mean giving entrepreneurs the backing they need to
give them the time and space (and yes, cashflow) they need to
really flesh out their ideas.
Apart from CCMF that aims to spark creativity, we did not lose
sight of the budding entrepreneurs who have the ambition to
ca r r y on wi t h t he i r pro t o t ype . He r e we o f f e r t hese
entrepreneurs the Cyberport Incubation Programme that
offers business assistance, funding, rent-free office space and
ample networking opportunity.
It makes me incredibly proud to say that we have admitted
close to 140 companies/creative ideas into our CCMF,
incubation and accelerator programmes during the year. And
we are getting bigger. This year, the number of applications for
the CCMF reached a record high of 556. We expect this is a
trend to continue.
相信很多教師和家長也明白，啟廸新一代，殊
非易事。誠然，啟廸孩子和青少年，威迫利誘
成果有限，真正動力其實發自內心。故此，我
們提倡以上的種種活動，冀能為香港社會的未
來主人翁帶來一些啟發，燃點他們的潛能。
數碼港創業家：扶植業界實力，帶動
創業氣氛
很多人可能會以為
—
創業精神，就是短短一年
間，從一無所有搖身一變成為如
Larry Page
或
Elon Musk
一樣的創業界巨人。但現實是，這
些科技創業巨人的創業路，大多荊棘滿途，除
了憑藉本身的勇氣、決心、敢於冒險和勇於接
受失敗的精神外，還須得到有心人的扶持，與
他們一路同行，方能成功。
數碼港的第二部重要策略，以扶植業界實力為
核心。我們給創業者一切支援，作他們後盾。
讓他們有足夠的時間、空間和流動資金實現其
鴻圖大計。
除了激發年青人創意的「數碼港創意微型基金」
外，我們的支援並沒有就此止步。「數碼港培育
計劃」，就是專為嶄露頭角的初創企業提供業務
支援、資金、免租辦公室和大量與業界交流的
機會。
於年內，數碼港的創意社區與日俱增，我們透
過「數碼港創意微型基金」、「數碼港培育計劃」
和「數碼港加速器支援計劃」，合共支持了近
140
個初創企業或創意項目，這些都是令我引
以為傲的成就。今年申請「數碼港創意微型基
金」的申請項目高達
556
份，打破歷年紀錄。
我深信這趨勢會一直持續下去。
