Gen Z Entrepreneurs：The Soft Touch

Food is people’s paramount concern. To foodies, life would be colourless and of low quality if they could only eat puree when they get old. Sandy’s grandfather has swallowing difficulty, but he craves delicious food, prompting Sandy to be interested in the soft meal market. By coincidence, Sandy established the first food technology company developing soft meals in Hong Kong with 5 friends who share the same concern for elderly services, namely Abellona, Albert, Jim, Raymond and Aggie.

With the vision to improve elderly diet, they have won many innovation and technology competitions with their innovative soft meal technology and products, and
were selected for various incubation programmes. As such, they gained the seed money. Hong Kong population is continuously aging and there is a huge demand in elderly market. Facing the existing competitors, how can this startup company find its position in the market occupied by international brands? Moreover, the public has
insufficient knowledge about swallowing difficulty, and elderly homes have concerns about switching products. How should they employ different strategies to tackle the
challenges?

The programme invited Francis NGAI, founder of Social Ventures Hong Kong, to share with them how to promote and publicise their business.

In this technology era, how much value of the operation of conventional commercial world is left? As a startup entrepreneur, how many things
one needs to miss and how many mistakes one needs to make before he or she comes up with the appropriate management philosophy?

This episode’s “Meeting Room”, Mr Ray CHAN, co-founder of the world’s largest “happiness sharing platform”, and Ms Rebecca LEUNG, former Regional Executive
Director, South East Asia, of an online travel platform, are invited to elaborate on the core values of new generation operation and management.
