HKIE Enginpreneurs Hub Webinar – Power of Collaboration: The Journey of Utilities and Startups

The HKIE Enginpreneurs Hub webinar named “Power of Collaboration: The Journey of Utilities and Startups” was held on 30th April 2021. The seminar aimed to share the Free Electrons (a global energy accelerator program formed by the world’s leading global utilities) that connected the world’s most promising startups, to enable an effective and systematic way to scan, scout and engage innovative technologies across existing assets to make operations safer and more efficient.  Firstly, Ms. Sindy Tse (Ecosystem Manager, CLP) was the guest speaker and she briefed their established vibrant ecosystem included Energy Users, Policymakers, Investors, Entrepreneurs and Technologist. 


Then she explained this ecosystem considered the global energy trends with five dimensions that were Global Reach, Identify Early Winners, Trial & Deploy, New Business Opportunities and Strengthen Capabilities.  They cooperated with other global energy companies to form “Global Energy Accelerator”. 


After that she mentioned the process to identify potential startups named “Scouting Process” including “Needs Assessment”, “Global Scouting”, “Screening” and “Evaluation”. 


Finally, she briefed the Free Electrons Program approaches and they were “Simple & Easy Model”, “Clear Objectives”, “Trial and Deploy” and “Get Scale”.  Their key focus areas were stated such as Electric Vehicle, Asset Management, Smart Buildings, etc.


Lastly, she shared some pilot projects which cooperated with oversea startups and also considered China startup. 


Q&A session was at the end.  I asked questions about any local startup employed and their qualified supplier list need ISO or not.  She said that they had cooperated with incubators such as HKSTP and Cyberport.  For ISO, it depended on their project with legal compliance.
