In Hong Kong, there are already knowledgeable, experienced and credible practitioners in the social innovation field. Engaging some of these as “intermediaries” will enable the Fund to leverage their experience and networks to help find and nurture budding entrepreneurs who seek to innovate by integrating social impact into the businesses they create.
Representatives of the Fund’s first batch of intermediaries appointed in 2015 share their views on SIE Fund and the development of the social innovation ecosystem:

- Darius Yuen, Founder of SOW (Asia) Foundation Ltd
