With full support from Hang Seng Bank, co-organised by Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation and Wofoo Social Enterprises, the Future Ecopreneur Programme held its inaugural Demo Day and Awards Ceremony on 26 February 2025 at Hong Kong Science Park.
Launched last year, the programme received green innovation proposals from nearly 60 teams. 19 proposals were selected for HKSTP’s IDEATION programme, and 9 teams were chosen for community innovation projects, receiving one-on-one advisory support. The inaugural programme has cultivated over 100 green leaders, advancing sustainable development goals through innovative solutions.
During Demo Day, teams delivered pitches on their project concepts and outcomes. MetaGreenX’s team received the prestigious Grand Award for their project aimed at improving the survival rate of seedings in remote green areas. BivaCoo Limited team won the innovation award for their research on carbon sequestration technology in shellfish farming. The social impact award was given to the team from Heung Yau, whose project involves reusing wasted flowers and wood into incense products, which incorporate the history of Hong Kong being named as “incense port” and tell the good stories of Hong Kong at the same time promoting sustainable development.
