404 Not F_und? : Err-venger Academy

Partnership: SONOVA x Start PR

Year 2022-2023

“404 Not F_und?” returns with pride this year under the theme of “Errvenger Academy”! Joining hands with SONOVA and Start PR, we aimed to foster youths’ trial & error spirit and unleash their boundless creativity without fear of failure. An HKD$30,000 kickstart fund, network building and knowledge sharing would be provided to the teams. 4 teams of finalists have been shortlisted from more than 90 applications to implement their creativity and momentum during the 24-weeks incubation journey, including the youth emotional support platform “Heartline HK”, the innovative application of contact-based drone for wall inspection solution “Skybotics”, the funding program search engine “Tailor-Made”, and the one-stop doorstep recycling service “The Loops”. Throughout the programme, the teams demonstrated unwavering determination to explore strategies in overcoming obstacles, resilience for setbacks and willingness to embrace challenges head-on.

 

"Failure is just another chance to start again. What's important is to understand the reasons behind and address the root cause for a more effective solution." – Dickson Li, Participant (Skybotics)

 

“I don't categorize things as 'failure' in such a serious manner; even in short term challenges, there will always be gains, ultimately leading to a unique and fruitful life that filled with interesting experiences.” – Ah C, Participant (Tailor-made)
