“This is a great opportunity for young talent to develop their creativity in the ICT sector as ten of the selected projects will be awarded a cash grant in each HK$100,000,” said Mark Clift, COO of Cyberport.

Now in its fourth year, the scheme nurtures partnership between Hong Kong and Guangdong ICT young talents through a business skills and entrepreneurial training workshop, facilitates cross-border cultural understanding and boosts start-ups’ entry into the international market.

Qualified applicants from Programme Application participating in the three-day boot camp in late November will learn about business model generation, user research and market landscape assessment technique among other things. Eventually, each joint Guangdong-Hong Kong team will submit Joint CCMF Application for fund assessment by December 2015.

Eligible applicants must be aged between 18-30 at the time of the programme application deadline. They must also be current students or graduates of a registered post-secondary education institute in Hong Kong or the region.
