Education & Training

As society rapidly evolves, our education system must adapt accordingly by continuously enhancing the learning environment. This includes embracing innovative technologies and educational tools to improve the quality of education, cultivate future talent with global competitiveness, and further promote Hong Kong’s development as a leading international education hub.

Education Technology (EdTech), driven by AI, Data Science, and other emerging technologies, enables personalised learning experiences for students and streamlined operations for educators and institutions. The possibilities for development are vast, and opportunities are plentiful within EdTech.

Start-ups are now leveraging AI and Data Science to enable adaptive teaching, ensuring every student is supported at their optimal pace and learning style. Immersive virtual classrooms and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) modules are transforming traditional classrooms, while blockchain solutions provide tamper-proof digital credentials and academic certifications. Start-ups have also created secure e-learning platforms and digital school management systems that engage parents, teachers, and schools for streamlined communication and administration.

With these encouraging results, Cyberport is committed to nurturing EdTech start-ups through incubation, acceleration programmes, strategic partnerships and market access. It regularly matches start-ups with educators and schools to facilitate knowledge exchange, encourage innovative solution adoption, and inspire solution co-creation, ensuring that Hong Kong remains at the forefront of educational innovation and excellence in the digital age.

STEAM Education

Building talent through STEAM: Cyberport supports the Government’s drive to cultivate young talent shaping tomorrow’s smart cities. Through collaboration with our start-ups in the community, we provide students with hands-on experience creating Smart Living solutions from ideation to prototype. Our student-mentorship programme on innovation and technology pairs school students with Cyberport start-ups to develop innovative projects. The STEM+E competition challenges students across the Greater Bay Area to reimagine start-up solutions to address real-world community needs.
To facilitate educator upskilling and continuing professional development, Cyberport and the Education Bureau co-organise the Professional Development Programme on Innovation and Technology for STEAM Coordinators of Schools, empowering educators with practical knowledge and resources to enhance STEAM education.

Showcasing Innovation at Key Industry Events

Cyberport actively supports EdTech start-ups by providing opportunities to showcase their innovative solutions at major industry events, such as the highly regarded Learning and Teaching Expo. This facilitates knowledge exchange and collaboration, helping these start-ups connect with global opportunities and highlighting Hong Kong’s leadership in EdTech.
