HKSTP - Incubation and Acceleration Programmes

T-G-I-F! Together Growing Innovation & Friendships 🎉 Cheers to the fantastic success of our first #CAP (Community Ambassador Programme) event! 30 #startups joined our SPIN & SIP 🚲 for an afternoon last Friday, where taking great ideas further meant hopping on bikes - sharing conversations - and letting connections flow as naturally as our pedaling rhythm! Who knew networking could be this energising? Shoutout to our CAP - Andrew Li and Felix Cheung. Community Ambassador Programme aimed at empowering startups to co-create engaging community happenings, enhancing visibility and fostering a culture of #collaboration. It is amazing how conversations flow differently when you are out in the fresh air and sharing an adventure! We witnessed startup founders opening up, sharing challenges, discovering synergies, and even planning future collaborations - all while getting those endorphins flowing! Special thanks to LocoBike, one of our valued Green Technology companies at HKSTP. They made this event possible and showed us how sustainability can be fun!🍀 More thoughtfully designed events are coming up where we will continue fostering These Genuine Industry Collaboration! The best partnerships often start with a simple conversation - Join the fun at the next #CAP event!
