Transforming a disruptive, early-stage idea into a lasting, scalable reality requires far more than just financial backing. It takes a dedicated ecosystem of structured incubation, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and hands-on mentorship.
This was a key takeaway from the panel discussion, "Scouting Promise: Identifying, Investing, Incubating the Next Big Idea," where our General Manager, Cintia Nunes, recently shared her insights at the festival.
Alongside brilliant panellists Lillian LI and Samuel Sun-Yiu Lee, and moderated by Vincent Siu, the session explored these ecosystem dynamics through the lens of interactive media and gaming for social impact. It was an inspiring discussion on how different industries assess viability and support experimental, meaningful projects in rapidly evolving sectors.
A huge thank you to the team at Games for Change Hong Kong for hosting such a stellar and necessary dialogue! 🌿💡

Last Friday, on World Environment Day, we joined forces with DFI Retail Group to prize the winner of our global search to decarbonise beef and dairy supply chains. Huge congratulations to Number 8 bio ! 🌍✨
Their innovative feed additive, BetterFeed™, eliminates methane emissions from livestock while boosting animal productivity—turning lost energy into farmer profitability and environmental impact.
As our General Manager, Head of Asia, Cintia Nunes, shared: "The next phase of climate innovation is not just about discovering new technologies but helping them scale in ways that create tangible change." Alongside a HK$120,000 grant, the team also won the invaluable opportunity to pilot and scale their solution across DFI’s extensive supply network.
Thank you to all 40+ global applicants, our expert judging panel, and our phenomenal finalists Provectus Algae, AbacusBio, eVerse.AI and KINAVA for pushing the boundaries of agrifood tech.
