Starting a business may not be easy. It would be even tougher if you are doing it alone. With the HK Tech 300 Mentorship Scheme, start-ups will be guided and coached by mentors from relevant business fields to help them meet real-life challenges along their entrepreneurship journey.

The mentors are seasoned entrepreneurs, industrialists and professionals from diversified industries and backgrounds. They include the members of Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce (HKGCC), Chinese General Chamber of Commerce (CGCC), Federation of Hong Kong Industries (FHKI), Chinese Manufacturers' Association of Hong Kong (CMA), CityUHK Eminence Society, CityUHK Business & Industrial Club (CUBIC), etc.
