The HKU Techno-Entrepreneurship Core (TEC) is dedicated to coordinating and enhancing the University of Hong Kong’s efforts to foster innovation and entrepreneurship. Our mission is to nurture a thriving ecosystem that supports the ambitions of HKU entrepreneurs and startups throughout their venture journeys. In response to their evolving needs, we are actively seeking credible service providers who can offer pro bono or discounted services to our students, faculty, and entrepreneurs.

Selected service providers will be prominently recognised as a Service Partner on the TEC’s official website for the duration of the partnership. HKU TEC may collaborate with Service Partners to co-host workshops and training events.

Eligible HKU participants—including students, faculty members, and TEC-certified startups—can engage directly with Service Partners to access pro bono or discounted services.

HKU TEC will periodically review the actual usage of Service Partners’ services and user feedback to adjust the list as needed.
