Nurturing the Entrepreneurial Spirit
扶植業界實力帶動創業氣氛
The second step in the chain of our efforts to nurture the
entrepreneurial spirit is to accelerate the growth of the
promising start-ups.
The Cyberport Accelerator Support Programme provides funds
for participants to join some of the most famous accelerators
around the world including Y Combinator, 500 Startups, Plug
and Play, Microsoft Ventures, Shanghai Innospace, Nest in
Hong Kong, etc.
We further nurture the entrepreneurial spirit by building an
ecosystem that encourages and facilitates creativity. Start-ups
work side-by-side with established multinational companies of
the highest caliber.
Our efforts to nurture entrepreneurs extend beyond providing
funds for compan i es i n our ecosys tem. We nur ture
entrepreneurship, with a digital technology focus, throughout
Hong Kong. To this end, Cyberport hosted 100 events
throughout the year such as the International Conference on
Information Security Standards, Digital Entertainment
Leadership Forum 2014, Future Cities Asia, 2014 Digital
Marketplace, the Internet Finance Forum, the start-up pitch
event SlushHK and the Cyberport Speaker Series. These
events attracted more than 10,000 technology entrepreneurs,
seasoned professionals, executives at global corporations and
investors for various topics include big data, cloud computing,
social media, internet security, mobile technology and digital
entertainment. These are areas that offer enormous
opportunities for start-ups. Through these technology-focused
events, Cyberport further cemented its position as a hub of
technology and entrepreneurship of global stature with a
vibrant environment in which business ideas and knowledge
are shared, explored and developed.
