Innovation and Technology

In November, the HKSTPC was recognised as a State-level Scientific and Technological Enterprise Incubator by the Ministry of Science and Technology for its efforts in providing incubation and support services to I&T start-ups.

The Cyberport Creative Micro Fund Cross-Boundary Programme brings young talent in Hong Kong, Guangdong and Shenzhen together to develop digital innovations. The programme helps local tertiary students acquire Mainland experience while encouraging exchange of innovative ideas. Cyberport provides $100,000 as seed funding for each selected project to turn innovative ideas into prototypes.

The HKSAR and Guangdong governments run a Guangdong-Hong Kong Technology Cooperation Funding Scheme to encourage collaboration by their universities, research institutions and technology enterprises. In 2017, the ITF supported 17 projects under this scheme with about $26 million, of which $21 million was for 15 projects the ITF funded jointly with Guangdong or Shenzhen.
