About Us
The Entrepreneurship Centre, formerly called the Cyberport Digital Entertainment Incubation-cum-Training Centre (IncuTrain Centre), was first established in 2005 under the Innovation and Technology Fund (ITF) to support the development of start-up companies/SMEs in digital entertainment and creative lifestyle industries. Up till now, the IncuTrain Incubation Programme has admitted a total of 122 companies/projects with 57 successfully graduated incubatees. Riding on its previous success, Cyberport has decided to support the Incubation Programme with its own funding starting from February 2012.
The new Incubation Programme to be administered by the Entrepreneurship Centre aims to support the development of the Hong Kong ICT industry. The program provides incubatees with access to rent-free office space, advanced ICT facilities and resources, support in business development, financing and hiring of graduate interns, as well as entrepreneurship and technology training for a period of up to two years.
The Entrepreneurship Centre also runs the Cyberport Creative Micro Fund (CCMF) Scheme. CCMF seeks to spark creativity and innovation in ICT industries by providing seed funding of HK$100,000 for concept and prototype development in a 6-month project period. After the successful completion of the 1st Pilot Scheme in 2009 and the 2nd Pilot Scheme in 2010, the Entrepreneurship Centre is now running the on-going CCMF version in 2011.
