Deep knowledge is the basis of all innovations. To provide
young talents a deeper digital tech knowledge, Cyberport
offers experiential training through the Cyberport Digital
Tech Internship Programme. The well-received programme
pulls support from industry leaders who share our
commitment in inspiring the next generation and passionate
innovators of tomorrow who dare to take on the challenges.
Participating digital tech companies are often amazed by
the infusion of fresh talents brimming with innovative
concepts and ideas, while the interns receive invaluable
mentorship and real-world experiences. In the period, the
67 interns underwent on-the-job training, some during
summer holidays while others took part in year-long
internships. The interns are able to develop skills for jobs in
tech companies or worked on pet projects of innovative
entrepreneurs. They learnt to build, create, manage, or
support a tech project, and had familiarised themselves
with software development and other aspects of business
operation. It is most rewarding witnessing these young
people flourish as digital innovators. By interacting and
working with industry professionals, it had inspired
youngsters to start and build their own careers within the
digital-tech industry. The invaluable and practical work
experience they had gained was very applicable when they
kick-start their tech career or start their own tech
businesses.
Over the years, the Cyberport Digital Tech Internship
Programme has expanded both in magnitude and depth.
We have successfully connected in total 229 young talents
with 54 companies, which included world-renowned
companies such as Microsoft and EMC in Shanghai,
NetDragon in Fuzhou and world-class accelerators like Plug
and Play, a Silicon Valley-based global innovation platform
behind runaway tech successes like PayPal and Dropbox, as
well as 500 Startups, one of the world’s top start-ups
engines which has funded well over 1,500 companies.
