Social Enterprise Summit 2025 Officially Opens in Hong Kong “Unleashing Passion & Purpose for Social Innovation – HK & GBA” Uniting Across Borders, Generations, and Sectors to Forge Sustainable Solutions for Global Challenges
The four-day International Symposium will feature over 60 distinguished speakers, including experts, scholars, and business leaders from around the world. They will share successful case studies and valuable insights on how to connect civil society, the business sector, government, academia, and local communities, highlighting the transformative power of social innovation in driving systemic change.
Dr CA TSE, Co-chairs of the Organising Committee of SES 2025, remarked “Social entrepreneurship has been developing in Hong Kong for over 20 years. In recent years, alongside many young social innovators actively engaging in the sector, there has also been growing interest among retirees who see social innovation as a meaningful second act. With the theme ‘Unleashing Passion & Purpose for Social Innovation – HK & GBA’, this year’s Summit explores diverse perspectives—from empowering marginalised groups to advancing sustainable development—aiming to inspire changemakers to co‑create lasting solutions for complex challenges. New this year is the ‘SES x Good Lab: Social Innovation Tour @ The Greater Bay Area’, which will bring together experts from mainland China to exchange insights and share experiences. Through dialogue and collaboration, the Summit demonstrates how social innovation can drive systemic change and make transformation possible.”
Mr Clarence LEUNG, Under Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs of the HKSAR Government, added “The Social Enterprise Summit is a highly regarded annual event within Hong Kong’s social enterprise sector. Each year, we are delighted to see many new young faces, demonstrating that more creative and ambitious young people are joining the social enterprise community, bringing positive energy and generating greater social impact. In recent years, many social enterprises have also harnessed artificial intelligence technologies and innovative cross‑sector collaborations to meet diverse social needs and contribute to society. The Home and Youth Affairs Bureau will continue to adopt a multi‑pronged approach, introducing flexible and versatile measures to connect different sectors of society and support the flourishing development of social enterprises in Hong Kong”
Following the Opening Ceremony, the Keynote Speech and Open Forum featured leading voices from across the globe: Mr Jaff SHEN, Co-founder and CEO of the Leping Social Entrepreneur Foundation, shared insights on the evolution and future of social innovation across China and Asia. Professor Stephen CHEUNG Yan-leung, SBS, JP, President of Saint Francis University, examined how future generations should understand social entrepreneurship through education, particularly in an AI-driven world where integrating Social Entrepreneurship (SE) and Social Innovation (SI) is increasingly essential. Dr KK TSE, Founder of ReWirement Action HK and “Social Innovtation Thought Leader 2020” recognised by the Schwab Foundation, reflected on his decades of experience in the field. Mr Gerry HIGGINS, Founder and Managing Director of the Social Enterprise World Forum, offered a global perspective on building vibrant ecosystems and fostering international collaboration. Ms Jinhui YANG, Secretary of the Party Committee and Director of the Yulin East Road Community Neighbourhood Committee in Chengdu City, shared her experience in community development and inclusive urban growth.
The Impact Story session was delivered by Prof Martin ZHU, CEO and Co-founder of i2Cool, who presented his journey from developing electricity-free cooling solutions to mitigate urban heat island effects and reduce carbon emissions, to establishing a green-tech enterprise applying innovative cooling materials.
From Day Two onwards, the International Symposium will explore pressing social issues under three core themes: “Sectors for Social Innovation”, “Changemakers and Innovators with Impact”, and “Sustaining the SI Ecosystem”. Topics include healthcare system reform, creating shared value, social innovation in the Greater Bay Area, and nurturing entrepreneurs equipped to tackle complex challenges with transformative solutions. As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to reshape the world, discussions will spotlight how cross-sector collaboration can spark AI-driven innovations to address societal needs. Running concurrently during the first two days, the “Changemakers Gallery” will feature more than 20 organisations showcasing their latest projects and engaging with participants to foster connections and inspiration. In response to economic uncertainty and shifting market demands, SES 2025 will also host a workshop titled “Is Your Social Enterprise Ready for Anything?”, equipping participants with practical tools, strategies, and inspiration to build resilient enterprises.
On Day Three, signature events include “Change for Impact 2025: How Might We Innovate for the Longevity Age?”, the “SES x Chinachem Group Impact Booster 2025 – Selection Showcase” for secondary school students, and the “Social Innovation Lai Chi Kok” guided tour, which will explore the district’s unique ecosystem and foster community collaboration.
Additionally, SES 2025 will launch the inaugural “SES x Good Lab: Social Innovation Tour @ The Greater Bay Area”, inviting social innovators, policymakers, and youth representatives to visit key hubs across the region, gaining insights into local innovation models and policy support mechanisms while collectively exploring long-term development.

Special Event for F2P Game Developers Launches Alongside the Announcement
SINGAPORE- Media OutReach Newswire – 17 August 2026 – With the global game market grown to an approximate value of US$200 billion annually, JUNEiNTER unveils a model designed to estimate the future revenue of individual games.
JUNEiNTER announced the release of the “LCP Model,” which estimates future revenue based on operating data from live service games and a public event of a free-trial marking its launch.
Whereas games generate recurring monthly cash flows and function as digital assets, the industry has lacked established standards to calculate the future revenue of individual titles — making their revenue streams difficult to be utilized as measurable financial assets.
The LCP Model was developed from the fundamental question: “How much revenue will our game generate?” The S66 Engine, which applies the LCP Model, analyzes actual service data accumulated from launch to calculate potential future revenue. Accordingly, it has been simulated about 90,000 times, confirming its consistency and reproducibility.
To mark the unveiling of the LCP Model, JUNEiNTER is holding a public event for developers to get revenue estimations for their own games. Eligible participants are games that use the F2P model monetized through in-app purchases (IAP) or combining in-app purchases with in-app advertising. Steam and console games are excluded.
Participating developers will also be offered additional special benefits for future usage. Eligibility requirements and details of the benefits are available on JUNEiNTER’s official website (https://gv.juneinter.com).
A JUNEiNTER spokesperson said, “Revenue estimates generated by the S66 Engine are not intended to be investment solicitation, fundraising, or a guarantee of returns. The results are estimates based on the data submitted by developers and the model’s criteria, and may differ from actual revenue.”

JUNEiNTER Co., Ltd
Founded in 2002, JUNEiNTER Co., Ltd. is a South Korean game company that has developed, serviced, and published online and mobile games, best known for publishing GetAmped (PC) and My Oasis (mobile). The company has expanded its lineup through in-house development, co-development, and investment over the years.
A Shift From Distribution to Brand Ownership
Since its founding, The Cocoa Trees has operated primarily as a retailer and distributor, offering more than 60 international confectionery brands across more than 20 stores in Singapore.
Kaki’s marks the company’s first move into developing and producing its own branded product line, in addition to distributing existing third-party brands such as Ritter Sport and Lindt.
A Range Built Around Everyday Singaporean Flavours
Kaki’s flavours draw on Singapore’s daily food rituals, from kopitiam mornings to late-night gatherings over local delicacies.
The range includes Nanyang Kopi, also referred to as Bittersweet Symphony, a coffee-flavoured chocolate capturing the taste of traditional freshly brewed coffee. Pandan Kaya is inspired by the slow-cooked, hand-stirred kaya used in a classic Singapore breakfast. Teh Tarik and Tropical Notes draws on the pulled-tea beverage alongside regional fruit profiles, including sunny mango, lychee, and a Singapore Sling-inspired blend.
Packaging Includes Local Storytelling
Kaki’s is designed as an everyday snack, a thoughtful gift for friends and family, and a corporate gift snack option for the workplace, as well as a culturally rooted souvenir for visitors to Singapore. Each bar comes wrapped in limited-edition artwork, with local fun facts and short, down-to-earth stories printed on the back. The bars come in a multi-piece format meant for sharing, rather than single-serve wrapping.
“Kaki’s was never meant to just be a snack on a shelf. It was built around the small, everyday moments Singaporeans already share with each other, over coffee, over breakfast, over the little rituals we return to again and again. This is the first time we have built a brand from the ground up, and we wanted it to feel like something that brings people closer, not just something they eat alone,” said Pamela Loo, Deputy CEO, The Cocoa Trees.
Kaki’s is available at The Cocoa Trees stores across Singapore and online at www.thecocoatrees.com.
