After a successful first cohort at AcceleratorHK, they are starting recruitment for cohort #2 that will begin on May 13th.
This cohort will focus on mobile startups doing cross platform development with HTML5. They just opened applications on F6s and will keep the applications open for 3 weeks, until April 5th. They are looking for a cohort of 5 to 6 teams. (Last time they had about 80 applications for their 6 teams.)
We are happy to announce a special vist to Hong Kong by Dr. Gregory Leman, Director of Baylor University’s LAUNCH Innovative Business Accelerator, one of the top entrepreneurship programs in the United States. Dr. Leman is conducting a free exclusive invitation-only world-class workshop on the unique challenges pertinent to today’s entrepreneurs, and the practical tools needed to overcome them.
This seminar will review the realities of the current commercial playing field for high-impact innovation, and introduce tools that are being used to raise commercial success rates to over 75%.
If you are an innovator, business leader or government leader, and are motivated to drive economic growth at a project, company, or community level, this workshop is for you! This is also a great opportunity to meet like-minded entrepreneurs and potential clients and investors.
The American Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong‘s newsletter Biz.hk features a great cover story – Is Hong Kong Ready to Become a Startup Hub? – on Hong Kong startups talking to the people behind Nest Ideas, Accelerator HK, startups and mentors like Steven Kopec and Jacob Fisch:
For startups to really grow, Hong Kong has two low-hanging fruits to pick. On the one hand, Hong Kong needs to continue to welcome foreign investors and talents with open arms. At the same time, Hong Kong should do more in spreading the news of success stories of startups based here.”
We’re trying to help lead that charge!
