SVhk has been an early supporter of AVPN since its inception, firmly believing that changemakers across Asia, regardless of the form of capital or resources they work with, should come together as a collective to uplift one another. Our Founder and CEO, Francis Ngai is delighted to share with Cambridge Judge Business School how AVPN has fostered a diverse and innovative community both internally and externally. By constantly embracing unusual alliances and being receptive to new ideas from the team and members, AVPN has created an ecosystem of collaboration across Asia. At SVhk, we cherish our partnership with AVPN, as we brought family-led capital owners and professionals earlier this year to inspire actions to tackle Asian cities' pressing challenges like youth development and wellbeing, affordable housing, and more.

𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗳 創．女程 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗛𝗲𝗿𝟮𝗕! Today marks a momentous milestone as we unveil 創．女程 EmpowHer2B, a new initiative born from SVhk's partnership with Standard Chartered and its 6 corporate clients, in our collective mission to uplift and amplify the participation and aspirations of #women across various societal roles. Reflecting on our own journey, it seems like only yesterday when we started HATCH Limited as a co-working factory for mothers with young children to hatch their dreams through flexible arrangements. We have since partnered with 10+ corporates to develop prototypes such as "Jobcation" (3-month mothers' returnship) alongside COSMOS impact consultancy and #BusinessWithPurpose, innovating new aspirational workstyle solutions beyond the factory. Our experiences has shown us the importance of enabling diverse role models in the community to create a sense of aspirations for those who struggle from time to time. Today's launch represents both a celebration of new possibilities and a reaffirmation of our commitment as past and new efforts converge to rethink women empowerment, with business participation as the cornerstone. Our new initiative pools a USD1,000,000 community investment from our founding partners for women across different life stages to transform their personal, professional or entrepreneurial from #aspirations into #actions. These funds will support a new #Business Collective, annual Community #Fellowship, and Advocacy #Campaign over the next three years. Beyond financial support, participating corporates will also provide job placements, mentorship, skill sharing opportunities as well as access to business networks for women returnees and micro-entrepreneurs, creating a win-win for all. Today marks just the beginning of this new chapter of our journey. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to shine a light on the diverse choices and roles women can play in the #futureofwork!
