The Hong Kong Science Park promotes the HK10X spirit of innovation and technology, which means that we can move towards our goals step by step and change the world with extraordinary perseverance.

Just as environmental protection and start-ups are not one step to the sky, let alone research and development of environmentally friendly technology start-ups?

Brandon Ng, co-founder of environmentally friendly energy company Ampd Energy, and founder of scientific research company Ecoinno (George), see that there are problems that affect the social environment and ecology, and are committed to developing new environmentally friendly technologies to bring cleaner energy and natural decomposition to the society Tableware.

Get out of the lost days with perseverance and persistence

Brandon Ng, co-founder of environmental energy company Ampd Energy, brings reliable battery energy.

Brandon Ng, the co-founder of environmentally friendly energy company Ampd Energy, established the company, hoping to create a zero-emission future by bringing reliable battery energy.

However, although it has ambitious goals, it has also encountered difficulties in research and development.

Brandon recalled that the company was developing batteries for other purposes in the early days, but it was also lost in the direction of research and development until a construction company asked whether Ampd Energy could use its own batteries to replace traditional generators, which inspired the team to use its own battery technology for the site. Come to zero emissions.

"Our first customer was a very large-scale construction company. When we successfully demonstrated the possibilities of technology to them, other companies in the industry began to show interest in us." Just like that, Ampd Energy is slowly moving forward. Get on track and develop steadily.

For Brandon, the spirit of innovation lies in paying attention to the problems encountered by people around him.

For Brandon, the spirit of innovation needs to be receptive and pay close attention to the problems faced by people around him.

"When people complain, they are actually telling you what the problem is." Brandon believes that these problems are not mere problems, but an opportunity to solve them.

"Every time an entrepreneur hears of a problem, they will find ways to create an opportunity to solve the problem and bring a different world." Insight into the problem, and then propose a solution, and then insist on it.

Brandon believes that persistence is also an important part of the innovation spirit.

"This is not something we can do in the next two months or even two years, but something that we will continue to work hard for in the next 20 years. I am sure that success or a company like ours Home depends on persistence; if we don’t have the willpower to survive the difficult times, we will not be where we are today.”

It is impossible to have a team work together

George, the founder of Ecoinno, a scientific research company that develops naturally decomposable lunch boxes, is committed to solving the problems caused by disposable plastic tableware and tableware.

Environmental protection and science have a great relationship.

What it has in common is that it takes a very long time to develop new technologies.

Fifteen years ago, George, the founder of Ecoinno, a scientific research company that develops natural decomposable lunch boxes, and his partner felt that the earth's environment was "contaminated in a mess" by disposable plastic tableware and lunch boxes, so they began to develop a new solution that could replace plastic.

For 15 years, George has continued to explore the unbounded scientific field with his team's persistence, and finally developed a new lunch box that can be decomposed naturally and does not cause harm to the environment.

George believes that persevering and working hard with the team is a beautiful thing.

George also believes that the first step in referring to innovation and technology is to observe and understand the problem, so as to propose a solution.

"We have to ask ourselves what kind of problems we saw before we started innovation and what methods should be used to deal with them. This observation is very important. If we find a solution, we must work hard with the team." George is convinced that science There is no word "impossible" in the world. As long as you have a clear goal and work hard with the team, you will succeed.

"Persistence is the first of all things. And when you have a clear solution, it will be easy to stick to it. If I don't solve (the problem) for a day, I can't give up for a day." George said again, together with the team Perseverance and hard work are a beautiful thing.

"It's like when a team scores a goal, the whole team will celebrate with everyone. So a team is really facing the problem, taking responsibility for each other, and finally embracing the results together is the beauty of the team." Ecoinno is currently developed. Produce 100% biodegradable and compostable coffee capsules with no microplastic residues and disposable tableware with extremely high low temperature tolerance.

When urbanites enjoy food in the future and the environment will not suffer more damage as a result, this is the result of the Ecoinno team's persistence.

Persistence is undoubtedly very important, but the corresponding support can make the start-up go further.

The various cultivation plans of the Hong Kong Science Park not only provide a development base for science and technology enterprises, but also provide business, technical and financial support to enable enterprises to persist in the face of numerous challenges.

In addition to obtaining financial assistance, start-ups can become partners of the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park after completing the plan and continue to advance their HK10X vision.
