Gov’t expands entrepreneurial scheme

The extended scheme will involve approximately 50 shops in total.

The Housing Authority has launched the Well Being·Start-Up 2.0 Programme, intending to promote youth entrepreneurship.

Secretary for Housing and Housing Authority Chairman Winnie Ho outlined that the updated scheme has been extended to cover private shopping centres and government facilities.

“Commercial partners can join to assist Hong Kong’s young entrepreneurs by providing them with more entrepreneurial opportunities and enabling them to develop their careers,” Ho said.

The extended scheme will involve approximately 50 shops in total, including the 12 shops in the first scheme.

To support the business development of participating entrepreneurs, the authority will provide three-year staged rentals at discounted rates.
