Cyberport Ecosystem Funding & Grant Programmes

Cyberport operates three structured funding and grant programmes for blockchain, Web3.0, and digital technology companies at various stages of growth. Together, these programmes form the cornerstone of Cyberport's mission to grow Hong Kong's technology ecosystem by lowering barriers for early-stage innovators and accelerating the adoption of emerging technologies.

Cyberport Creative Micro Fund (CCMF)

The CCMF is an early-stage seed funding programme providing up to HK$100,000 per project to high-potential digital tech startups and innovators. The six-month programme supports entrepreneurs in transforming innovative ideas into minimum viable products or prototypes ready for market testing. CCMF operates three targeted sub-programmes:

• Hong Kong Programme – For Hong Kong-based individuals and companies
• Cyberport GBA Young Entrepreneurship Programme (Cyberport GBA YEP) – For Greater Bay Area entrepreneurs
• Cyberport University Partnership Programme (CUPP) – For university students and researchers

Grantees also receive guidance on value propositions and investor pitches, plus a pathway to the full Cyberport Incubation Programme.
