CEO Message
It is a well-known fact that technology is an integral part of the lives of young people.
Seeing young people tapping on their phones and mobile device has become a default
backdrop in almost every metropolitan city in the world. Many of you may ask, ‘our
young people are already a tech-savvy bunch, why do they need to learnmore?’
Having worked with many young people via Cyberport programmes and events, I
thoroughly understand deep knowledge is the basis of all innovations. For Hong Kong
to advance and continue to be a global innovation and technology hub, we needmore
innovators, not merely consumers and operators. Therefore, we need to inspire
our next generation, equip them with digital tech knowledge and above all, real-life
experience, so that they will know better how to apply their knowledge effectively. It is
exactly this belief led to the beginning of our first digital tech internship programme in
2011.
With concerted effort from like-minded industry leaders around the world, trust
from participants and support from the Cyberport community, we have been able
to expand the Cyberport Digital Tech Internship Programme year-after-year in
magnitude and depth. Positive feedback from students and employers through
the years and having witnessed many young people flourished into digital tech
innovators, encouraged us to grow this programme continuously.
In this brochure, we will share with you an overview of the journey of Cyberport Digital
Tech Internship Programme since 2011 and details of each programme with genuine
feedback from participants as well as employers. We sincerely invite you to be part of
this journey and contribute to the sustainable development of the digital tech industry.
