As the new Chairman of the Board of Directors, it gives me
great pleasure in presenting the annual report of Hong Kong
Cyberport Management Company Limited (“Cyberport”)
for the Financial Year 2015/16.
Cyberport has been playing an increasingly active role in
supporting Hong Kong in its transformation into a new,
innovation-driven digital economy. We at Cyberport have
charged ahead to foster entrepreneurship and digital
innovation based on Cyberport’s three strategic pillars of
inspiring the next generation, nurturing the entrepreneurial
spirit, and empowering global ambition. By enhancing
existing programmes and implementing new initiatives, over
the past year we provided the much needed support to
more than 120 new start-ups and digital entrepreneurs for
building their competitive advantages, and the Cyberport
community already exceeded 720 companies across the
full spectrum of digital technology, ranging from FinTech,
e-commerce, Internet of things, digital wearables, cloud
computing, big data and smart city.
During the past year, we saw significant growth in student
and public participation in Cyberport events and
compe t i t i ons , a h i ke i n app l i ca t i ons f or f und i ng
programmes, and new alliances forged with our global
industry and academia partners.
The prestigious awards we garnered and the record-high
HK$269 million of funds raised by our grantees and
incubatees, all bear testament to the Cyberport team’s
relentless dedication and effort in successfully enriching
Hong Kong’s start-up ecosystem.
Entrepreneurship and innovation play a pivotal role in
achieving sustainable development of the Hong Kong
community. They constitute the key engine which propels
economic prosperity and fosters social cohesion. Whether
be it in a mature economy or a developing one, innovation
and technology have taken centre stage in national
development.
As a global financial centre, not only is Hong Kong richly
endowed with world-class business infrastructure, rule of
l aw, progress i ve regu l at i ons and good corporate
governance, it also possesses many critical factors for
success in fostering a thriving digital economy such as
strategic geographic position as the world’s key gateway to
China, high speed Internet bandwidth, high mobile
teledensity and a sophisticated and well-developed digital
infrastructure. Cyberport can leverage these competitive
advantages to maintain a vibrant ecosystem to foster
entrepreneurship and innovation.
