******************************************************************************************
     The Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship Development Fund (SIE Fund) Task Force today (January 6) invited organisations that are interested in taking forward the Venture Building Initiative to express their interest.
   
     SIE Fund has been encouraging social entrepreneurs to make good use of resources from different sectors, such as the business and philanthropy sectors, to jointly promote the sustainable development of the social innovation ecosystem. The Fund plans to launch the Venture Building Initiative to further promote cross-sector collaboration. Organisations with extensive network and professional knowledge will be invited to assist social ventures in coping with various challenges during development stage, and in turn support the ventures to create greater social impact. The purpose of this exercise is to evaluate the market interest in the Initiative. It is not a selection process.

     Interested organisations can download the expression of interest documents with the specified submission form from the SIE Fund website (www.sie.gov.hk/en/news-event/news.page). All submitted documents should be placed in a sealed envelope clearly marked with "Expression of Interest for implementing programmes under the Venture Building Initiative of the Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship Development Fund" and must be submitted to the Efficiency Office, 14/F, Treasury Building, 3 Tonkin Street West, Cheung Sha Wan, Kowloon, at or before 6pm on February 6, 2023 (Monday).
