briefing for Apr banner

Do you have any innovative ideas that address the problems of poverty and social exclusion in Hong Kong? Are you looking for funding and other kinds of support to commercialise, start, grow or scale your social project?

An intermediary of the Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship Development Fund (SIE Fund), Impact Incubator of The Hong Kong Council of Social Service cordially invites all current and potential social innovators and social entrepreneurs to join our next Impact Incubator briefing session. At the session, our team will briefly introduce our new Impact Incubator, key programme features and answer any questions you may have on applying for SIE Fund grant funding through the Impact Incubator. Impact Incubator will continue to support projects at different stages, including Scale-up, Growing, and Start-up. We hope to support innovative projects in their continuous progress and "promote" them to a larger scale, creating broader and more far-reaching social impact!

SIE Fund was established by the Commission on Poverty in 2012 to stimulate cross-sector collaboration, sharing learning and experience, guiding resources to groom and coach entrepreneurs, incubating and implementing new ideas, with the expectation that some of these will lead to new, sustainable businesses that help tackle poverty and social exclusion in the community. Moreover, the SIE Fund will strengthen its collaboration with the government in taking forward the strategy of “Targeted Poverty Alleviation”*, so as to tackle pressing poverty issues and meet the needs of vulnerable groups.
