The stage has been set for long-term collaboration between Hong Kong Cyberport Management Company Limited and The Banff Centre with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on January 19. The MOU will create a framework to explore opportunities in the areas of research and development, scientific and professional exchange, education and training, and foster technology and business partnerships among small- to medium-sized digital media enterprises in Hong Kong and Alberta.
The Banff Centre is a globally respected arts, cultural, and education institution based in Banff, Alberta. Cyberport, Hong Kong’s IT flagship, is a US$2 billion landmark project with a key focus on promoting and building Hong Kong as a leading digital entertainment hub in Asia.
“This agreement recognises the Centre’s unique ability to harness the creative energy of technology, business and the arts; and will provide Albertans with an opportunity to network on national and international levels,” said Ms. Mary Hofstetter, President and CEO of The Banff Centre.
“By engaging in training and technology exchange with the renowned Banff Centre, Cyberport IncuTrain Centre can further realise its aim to meet the local industries’ needs. Through the exchange programs, we can achieve fruitful results for both parties,” said Mr. Nicholas Yang, CEO of Hong Kong Cyberport Management Company Limited.
Cyberport IncuTrain Centre is funded by the Innovation and Technology Commission of the Government of the HKSAR and managed by Hong Kong Cyberport Management Company Limited. The Centre aims to incubate Hong Kong companies in the digital entertainment and digital media industries, with initial focus on digital game and film animation.
