Startup Support

As the key incubator and digital technology flagship in Hong Kong, Cyberport attaches great importance to intellectual property in heightening innovation and boosting business promise for our start-ups and tech community. I believe HKBURDL will complement our efforts to develop Hong Kong into a regional IP and I&T hub through realisation and commercialisation of R&D initiatives.

We are grateful to HKBU R&D Limited (HKBURDL) for rendering assistance and offering supports to enhance the product development process of our invention into a practical commercial product for the benefit of our community.

Supported by the HKBU Knowledge Transfer Office, we established Mat-A-Cell Limited in  2017 as an HKBU spin-off company to develop bionanotechnical products to improve the  quality of human life.

The future of higher education and all industries depend on innovation,  strategically shaping the R&Ds in order to cultivate new applications, enhance creativity, encourage collaboration, and promote inclusion and diversity so that we can stay sustainable in a globally unpredictable environment.
