After our last
visited Cyberport on 15 Jun 2016, HKQAA and Cyberport organized the
Smart-Clinic Seminar named “How to Gain Business Partners’ Trust by using
Management Tools”. We would like to
introduce the scheme named “HKQAA Hong Kong Registration - Start-ups”. I was invited by HKQAA to give a talk together. Before the seminar, Mr. Nic Chan (Account
Manager, HKQAA), Mr. Nathan Liu (Smart-Space Community Manager, Cyberport) and
I took a photo for memory.
Then Mr.
Nathan Liu introduced us to all Cyberport incubatees.
I was the
first speaker and my topic was “Quality Startup Management System” in which I
briefed the history and development of that 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 assisted HKQAA
to establish “HKQAA Hong Kong Registration - Start-ups” and aimed to nurture
technology startups and foster their long term development.
Why we had
this idea? It was because my experience
to assist three of incubatees in Science Park to achieve HOKLAS accreditation,
ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certifications.
Most incubatees seek certification to verify their service and product
at the last minutes and it was found that those incubatees invested a lot of
manpowers to do it. We would like to do
some foundation and enhance their management awareness for long term business
development. Therefore, we thought the simplified
version is more suitable.
In my
analysis, most of our incubatees’ milestones that planed but not met were focused
on business development area (not in technology / product development
areas). So the scheme design aimed to
assist incubatees (startup) to get the first customer through business matching
under HKQAA assurance.
Mr. Nic Chan
was the second speaker and he introduced HKQAA role and responsibility. HKQAA was non-profit-distributing
organization and established by the Hong Kong Government in 1989. Scope of services included QMS, EMS, Food
Safety MS, OHSMS and Social Compliance/Accountability, etc.
He also
mentioned the limitation of startup for certification included “Limited
Resource”, “Shortage of Manpower”, “Lack of Recognition”, and “Lack of Track
Record”.
During
development of “HKQAA Hong Kong Registration - Start-ups”, they gathered the
needs, expectations and concerns from different stakeholders included “Incubator”,
“Angel/VC”, “Academic”, “Big Corporations” and “Start-ups”. Then Nic briefed the partner and supporting organizations.
On 13 May
2016, HKQAA Symposium invited Mr Nicholas W. Yang, JP, Secretary for Innovation
and Technology, the Government of the HKSAR, to be officiating guest of the
kickoff ceremony, indicating that scheme was supported by Hong Kong Government.
