Organized by CUHK InnoPort, the event on Entrepreneurship Support Week was held successfully from 17-21 April 2023 in the Cultural Ground of CUHK.

Aiming at promoting entrepreneurship among the students in the University, we provided various information regarding the funding opportunities, entrepreneurship competitions and education programs in the booth. ORKTS teams and partners* also initiated dialogues with those interested in I&E (Innovation & Entrepreneur) and encouraged them to step on the journey of transforming their creative ideas into business. CUHK Student Startup (Pi teams) Vivablee, Definer and READily also joined us to display their products and shared their start-up experience with the students. We also appreciated the onsite support of our partners and their promotional materials, like videos, leaflets, and booklets. 

We have introduced a membership scheme called “InnoBuddies & InnoPeers” inviting the students to visit our coworking space in InnoPort and keeping them updated on I&E information. Around 300+ members were recruited during the week through online and on-site registration. Among them, around 100 members are looking for internship opportunities, around 50 are interested in technology innovation funding programs and 50 members are interested in social innovation funding programs. We will soon organize different I&E activities in response to their feedback.
