【 IPHatch Hong Kong Competition】 【開放式創新比賽IPHatch香港區賽事】

Co-organised by HKTDC and Piece Future,  IPHatch Hong Kong is an open-innovation competition looking for enthusiastic start-ups or entrepreneurs to bring business concepts to fruition by commercialising  the IPs/technology portfolios from renowned MNCs. SCC is one of the supporting organisations. The event aims to stimulate the local start-ups and R&D ecosystem while at the same time to give those IPs on offer a second life.

This year, we bring a total of 17 IP/ tech portfolios from Nokia , Panasonic and ASTRI.  HKSTP is the strategic partner to provide incubation support,  while Beyond Ventures, Hong Kong X , Sino Inno Lab,  Angel Investment Foundation are the funding partners too.
