行政總裁報告
To broaden the horizons of Hong Kong students, we organised
the “Hong Kong — Shanghai ICT Internship Programme”, a
one-of-a-kind programme that gives youngsters the opportunity
to work with Shanghai-based ICT companies in placements
lasting up to 12 weeks. The record number of applications
received is indicative of the fast-growing interest among young
people for pursuing a career in ICT.
Knowing that some students are interested in developing their
entrepreneurial potential and starting their own businesses, we
launched a unique “e+startup” internship programme in
partnership with the Cyberport Startup Alumni Association. This
is the first such programme in which students can work side by
side with the founders of our alumni companies and develop
their pet projects.
In addition to these initiatives, we held close to 100 premium
ICT events reaching over 29,000 industry professionals and
members of the public. These included world-class conferences,
seminars, training sessions and workshops, networking events,
competitions, youth-based programmes and public activities.
Two especially bright spots on our calendar were the “Digital
Entertainment Leadership forum 2013”, which discussed the
latest trends and technologies in digital media and
entertainment, and the prestigious “Asia Pacific ICT Alliance
(APICTA) Awards 2013”, which recognises innovation in ICT
across the Asia-Pacific region.
One-stop Platform for Nurturing Start-ups
As part of our mission to support the development of a local
ICT industry and contribute to economic growth, we continued
to build a strong eco-system that helps nurture local start-ups
and supports their development through all stages of their
business lifecycle.
During the review period, we succeeded in attracting a growing
number of tenants, from tech start-ups to established industry
players seeking a Hong Kong base or entry point into regional
markets. As of 31 March 2014, a total of 216 companies called
Cyberport home — a significant rise of 66% in the number of
companies since last year.
