16 student teams graduated from Cyberport University Partnership Programme
⋯⋯⋯⋯
The seventh cohort of the Cyberport University Partnership Programme (CUPP), which drew 16 teams with a total of 43 university students from record-high of 8 local universities, held its graduation ceremony in early March.
Alfred Sit, Secretary for Innovation and Technology, said in his officiating remarks, “I&T plays a significant role in this challenging time. The cooperation and support of members of the public and various sectors are keys to determining Hong Kong’s success in fighting the epidemic. Part of the Cyberport community have also been actively supporting the fight against the epidemic under the “Braving the Epidemic” movement. I look forward to more of such new and innovative solutions to help create a better Hong Kong.”
Dr. George Lam, Chairman of Cyberport, said, “CUPP, the signature FinTech-focused youth training programme under the Cyberport Academy, has helped more than 400 university students in their pursuit of their FinTech passion. Cyberport will continue to roll out a wide range of talent development programmes for our young people, to enrich the innovation and talent pool of Hong Kong.”
CUPP is a pivotal initiative under the Cyberport Academy to nurture future young entrepreneurs. Participating student teams received pre-camp nurturing sponsored by Hang Seng Bank and Edvantage Group with the support from Hong Kong Monetary Authority, Insurance Authority, Securities and Futures Commissioners, The Hong Kong Institute of Bankers and The RegTech Association of Hong Kong. They completed a 10-day online Entrepreneurship Boot Camp hosted by the University of Cambridge Judge Business School and Entrepreneurship Centre. The teams presented their outstanding business solutions at the Demo Day in mid-February, combining FinTech with various areas such as Blockchain, Digital Entertainment and Esports, Artificial Intelligence and Big Data. The 10 winning teams selected by the judging panel each received HK$100,000 funding from Cyberport Creative Micro Fund (CCMF), and Hang Seng Bank, as one of the CUPP Pre-Camp Nurturing Sponsors, to offer all the winning teams a new Biz Virtual+ Account with various special offers to embark their start-up journeys.
