As the world’s leading program of its kind, HKSEC has been evolving into a consolidated platform for social entrepreneurial education, training, and startup incubation for young, aspiring social entrepreneurs. Over a period of six months, the challengers’ social business ideas and skills are sharpened through a series of training and professional advice provided by experienced mentors.

Alongside startup training, mentorship support and exposure opportunities to help you “Power Up”, you will also have the chance to win up to HK$300,000 to realise your social venture plan!
