Kenny Siu@ InnoPort Team, ORKTS  新變化 ‧ 新人事  時隔三年後，InnoPort 再次改裝活動室，開放成為實習生工作空間，為我們 InnoPeers+ 的中大初創團隊提供場地支援。這個決定不僅支持了他們的運作，更為 InnoPort 的暑假添上了繽紛的色彩。  實習生工作空間的開放  在六月中旬開放的一刻，活動室瞬間換來新氣象。在高峰時期，初創公司成員、國際留學生、大學生和高中實習生擠滿了房間。這個全新的工作環境不僅讓實習生互相交流，還促進了初創公司之間的合作。整個工作氛圍活躍無比，討論聲此起彼落，充滿了創意與活力。  青年創業家大行其道，老闆也是個Slasher？InnoPeers+ 成員、大學生 Marco，本身是初創老闆，在這個暑假必須完成畢業實習要求，於是成為其中一家初創公司的兼職員工。過往他與同行只是在共享空間碰碰面，而現在可以成為工作伙伴，互相取經、分享經驗，這使他的學習旅程更加充實。     InnoPort 的高中實習生  同時，InnoPort 不僅是場地提供者，還為兩名高中學生提供了實習機會。其中，Ian 更是連續兩年在 InnoPort 進行暑期實習。他本來是一名內向的男孩，去年因為偶然的機會來到 InnoPort 實習，甚至在「中大資訊日」上設計攤位並協助推廣。今年，正值 InnoPort 推出流動應用程式，他自薦成為推廣團隊的一員。從設計傳單到現場宣傳，Ian 都全力以赴。  他明言：「InnoPort 是個與別不同的辦公室，我能夠在這裡得到嶄新體驗，這是我在中學時期從未體驗過的。這讓我的團隊協作能力和溝通技巧都有所提升。」  中學生與「知識轉移」  此外，InnoPort 還組織了一場以中學生為主的分享活動。在年度主題「集合吧！山城創業人！」下，我們邀請了初創公司 Hetaro Lab 和 Mobut 來分享他們的創業故事，並介紹了「知識轉移」的概念。學生們不僅了解到了創業的經歷，還與 InnoPeers+ 展開了交流，深入探討行業中的挑戰與機遇。相信這次活動不僅讓他們對未來職業有更深入的認識，還在心中埋下了創業的種子，等待將來的萌芽。  活動回顧 影片   「一億元的故事」  InnoPort 一方面打開了中學生創業之門，另一方面也顧及成熟研究團隊的需求。在 Happy Hour Series 的活動中，我們探討了「一億元故事」——有關產學研驅動中大科研的創新與投資機遇。此次活動中，我們榮幸邀請到陳曉峰律師進行演講，分享了他對產學研合作的見解。隨著社會對產學研合作的關注加深，InnoPort 也明白資金對研究團隊的重要性，希望此次活動能解答團隊們對創業機遇的疑問，助力他們的未來發展。  活動回顧 影片   寵物和認知障礙  臨近暑假尾聲，為響應「國際狗狗日」，InnoPort 協辦了一場關注領養寵物和認知障礙的活動，宣揚「人寵社區：領養不棄養」的理念，並關注香港老年人的認知健康。隨著黃錦輝教授和徐仲鍈教授的致辭，以及不同社福機構的攤位的支持，活動在歡樂的氣氛中進行。 InnoPort 積極支持中大的社創活動，凝聚各方，推動社創發展。  活動回顧 影片 總結  回望過去的三個月，InnoPort 就如同一間初創團隊般運作，「由無變有」地創造出各種可能。我們一直為中大創業團隊提供支援，包括學生、研究團隊和校友。在這樣的創業氛圍中，我們醞釀了「初創精神」。面對各種挑戰和「第一次」，我們始終堅持不退，才能創造意想不到的成果。雖然時間不長，但每個走過 InnoPort 的人，不論是學生、教授還是校友，我們相信心中都植下了希望的種子。人生如同經營一間初創，面對不斷的挑戰和可能，只有一步一步地邁進，才能迎接更美好的未來。所有創業點子和期望，總會萌芽，最終長成一棵茁壯的大樹。Life is a start up！ 

    感謝各方到場支持，讓「#寵智健康」開幕禮全場滿座，順利進行。我們很榮幸邀請到立法會議員、中大工程學院副院長(外務) 黃錦輝 教授,MH 致辭，支持「人寵社區：領養不棄養」的概念，關注香港老年人的認知健康情況。 同時，香港路德會社會服務處服務總監鄧國禧先生、香港動物輔助治療學會創會會長 Eddie Sir亦先後致辭，感謝大家愛護流浪貓狗的熱愛! 鄧國禧先生介紹了全港首間供長者使用的玩具圖書館「腦玩童俱樂部– 預防長者腦退化玩具圖書館」，歡迎長者及照顧者前往路德會社區服務中心了解更多。 Eddie Sir亦向大家介紹 「伴侶動物」，他們學院的貓狗接受過專業訓練，長者透過與毛孩溝通和互動，有助預防認知障礙症(腦退化症) ，改善認知健康。這些狗狗並不是普通的寵物，牠們來自 Your Wellness Partner – YWP 伴侶動物訓練護養專業學院，是受過專業訓練的 #治療犬。牠們的任務是協助 #動物輔助介入服務，為人們帶來歡樂，感到關愛。 研究顯示，飼養寵物可以改善老年人的 認知健康，特別是對於獨居長者來說，有寵物陪伴能夠提升他們的精神和心理健康，讓生活變得更加有趣。然而，並不是每位長者都有能力飼養寵物，這時治療犬就能發揮重要作用。牠們會輔助專業人士，為有需要的人士提供治療。 不僅狗狗可以改善長者的認知健康，玩具也能起到類似的效果！香港路德會社會服務處 特地帶來了一些為長者設計的玩具。首創有趣、自助、持續的服務模式—「腦玩童俱樂部 —預防長者腦退化玩具圖書館 」，其實玩具不僅可以預防腦退化，還能讓長者們在遊玩中結識新朋友，擴展社交圈子。 再次感謝各位出席活動！   主辦單位：康訊生物分析有限公司 Health View Bioanalytic Limited 支持單位(排名不分先後)： 1. 香港路德會社會服務處 HKLSS Hong Kong Lutheran Social Service, LC-HKS 腦玩童俱樂部 2. 傻媽流浪貓狗之家Brave Mum’s Home For Stray Cats And Dogs Limited 3. 香港動物輔助治療學會 Hong Kong Institute of Animal Assisted Intervention – HKIAAI 4.
