Cyberport and Education Bureau pair eight start-ups with 10 Hong Kong schools

Hong Kong's Cyberport and the Education Bureau held a solution showcase and teaching practice sharing session at Cyberport on August 24, 2026, marking the end of the first round of their I&T Digital Learning Partnership Scheme for the 2025/26 school year. The scheme matched eight technology start-ups from the Cyberport community with 10 local schools: three primary schools, six secondary schools and one special school. More than 200 primary and secondary teachers attended the session.

The companies listed by Cyberport were Ideal Sound Holdings, Kazoo Technology (Hong Kong), AESIR, Blue Sky Energy Technology, iSEE Mobile, Peanut King Solution, Foodtech AI Company and Novalearn. Ten STEAM-related teaching solutions were presented at the event. Examples given by the organizers included a flipped classroom model supported by artificial intelligence, augmented reality tools that help students picture algebra, and a sensor-based activity that measures how carried loads change the way people walk.

The scheme ran from February to July 2026. Each participating school worked with a partner start-up to design and trial a digital teaching solution, with the companies supplying technical support and subject expertise. The work moved from joint design to pilot lessons in real classrooms, followed by a review stage in which the tools were refined based on that classroom experience. The press release did not state any funding amount attached to the scheme.

The partnership sits alongside other joint programs run by Cyberport and the Education Bureau, including a student mentorship program on innovation and technology and student training and budding schemes in the same field. Cyberport says its community includes more than 2,400 companies, among them 29 listed firms, 10 unicorns and over 500 start-ups working in artificial intelligence and data science, and that its companies have expanded into more than 35 markets. The school pilots give start-ups from its incubation network a structured way to test classroom products with teachers and students.
