HKSTP Technology Incubation Programme 3.42

Introduction

The incubation programmes operated by Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) provide incubation services to assist technology start-ups in their vulnerable inception stages, enabling them to grow and flourish.
Three different incubation programmes – Incu-App, Incu-Tech, and Incu-Bio – are custom-made for start-ups involved in web and mobile technology, technology and biotechnology respectively. The main objective is to encourage and promote innovation-based entrepreneurship by providing relevant assistance and support.

Office Space and Facilities

During the incubation period, incubatees will be able to enjoy subsidised ready-to-use office space and shared facilities to reduce their cost of business so that they may direct their resources towards R&D activities.

Technical and Management Assistance

HKSTP explores and bridges incubatees to universities’ expertise and collaboration opportunities through consultancy, student placement or projects, as well as joint R&D projects.
