HK$450,000 start-up fund to be launched at Ani-Com and Games Hong Kong fair
Programme aims to cultivate new generation of entrepreneurs
To groom young entrepreneurs, a HK$450,000 start-up fund will be launched at the annual Ani-Com and Games Hong Kong fair next week.
Leung Chung-poon, the convention’s chief executive, said the fund was aimed at cultivating a new generation of entrepreneurs interested in animation, comics and games.
“We encourage involvement by parents and aim to develop the creative interests of children and young people,” Leung said.
Organised by non-profit-making institution Art Plus Education Foundation, the first Hong Kong Ani-Com & Games entrepreneurship programme will assist 10 teams of young people aged between 18 and 35 with a combined HK$450,000 fund. Participants will be mentored and given funding to promote their businesses and grow their brands.
