Visit to Cyberport for Quality Startup Scheme

HKSTP and Hong Kong Quality Assurance Agency (HKQAA) kicked off the "Hong Kong Innovation & Technology Support Programme" and signed MOU on 24 Mar 2015.  One of our services is provided recognition for start-up business matching.  Therefore, we established “HKQAA Hong Kong Registration - Start-ups” which aimed to nurture technology startups and foster their long term development.  The pilot scheme started in HKSTP Incubation Programmes Graduation day on 31 Mar 2016 and it official launched during the HKQAA Symposium on 13 May 2016.  Since Mr. Nathan Liu (Smart-Space Community Manager, Cyberport) who is my old colleagues in HKSTP serviced in Cyberport, I arranged a meeting with our partner HKQAA in Cyberport on 15 Jun 2016.
