2015/16 was a banner year for Cyberport and Hong Kong’s
entrepreneurship. The number of start-up company
registrations surged 46% year-on-year, according to
government statistics released in August 2015, logging
1,558 start-ups in the city. We are delighted about this
development, as start-ups are key drivers for Hong Kong’s
growth — they inject positive change through developing
new products and services, and creating new jobs. As a
purveyor of digital innovation and entrepreneurship, we are
proud that we remain committed to enhancing the start-up
ecosystem. While our first strategic pillar focuses on
inspiring the next generation, our second one — nurturing
the entrepreneurial spirit — focuses on offering digital
entrepreneurs financial support, professional knowledge,
business advice, essential tools and ample resources that
enable them to grow.
How we are doing it
We understand securing funding, scaling into international
markets and improving sustainability of the business remain
key challenges along the meandering and bumpy road of
digital ventures. In view of this, Cyberport provides a one-
stop platform with a vast array of initiatives to support start-
ups at different stages of development.
Cyberport Incubation Programme, as one of our most long-
standing signature programmes, provides incubatees with
up to HK$330,000 over a 24-month incubation period to
help them jumpstart their businesses. We had been
concurrently nurturing 98 incubatees in the year, including
51 incubatees being newly admitted. As of 31 March 2016,
our total number of cumulative incubatees stands at 321.
