The mobile app (m-Lang), developed by Dr. EKY Loh (first from left) and her research team, has become one of the 16 start-up companies which received the funding support from 2018/2019 Technology Startup Support Scheme for Universities @HKU (TSSSU@HKU)* to commercialise their Research and Development results.
‘m-Lang’ is a mobile app for enhancing teaching and learning in Chinese and had been tried out and used in several local schools and was proved to be an effective pedagogical approach to be incorporated into school-based Chinese curriculum.
* TSSSU@HKU is an award scheme that provides funding support to technology start-up companies formed by HKU’s Professors, students or alumni. This is leveraging on a funding scheme, “Technology Start-up Support Scheme for Universities” (TSSSU), provided by the Innovation and Technology Commission (ITC) for the six local universities, under which ITC will provide each university with an annual funding of up to HK$4 million to encourage technology start-ups to commercialise their R&D results. Companies under the scheme will be funded with a maximum amount of HK$1.2 million each year for no more than 3 years.
