It was Cyberport time on the second day in CUHK and the third stop of the day, everyone in the architecture group has to go and everyone in group five (Ted, Matthew, Sunny, Calvin and Darren) is excited to go. Everyone though it was a museum but it was not it was a high tech place. All of the buildings are eco-friendly and some won awards. Cyberport also has Wi-Fi everywhere in its area. Cyberport is a US$2 billion (HK$15.8 billion) landmark project managed by Hong Kong Cyberport Management Company Limited, and wholly owned by the Hong Kong SAR Government.  Focusing on enterprise and professional development, Cyberport helps commercialise creative ideas and incubate start-ups.  We have an energetic cluster of creative ICT and digital content tenants who enjoy synergies from co-locating with each other, and we are Hong Kong’s unique Creative Digital Community.  Interconnected by a state-of-the-art broadband network, the Cyberport community is home to four grade-A intelligent office buildings, a five-star design hotel, a retail entertainment complex and about 2,800 deluxe residences the place also has a park and each building has a Cyberport 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 names.

Three private and wholly-owned companies, namely, Hong Kong Cyberport Development Holdings Limited, Hong Kong Cyberport Management Company Limited and Hong Kong Cyberport (Ancillary Development) Limited (collectively referred to as the “Cyberport Companies”) have been set up under the Financial Secretary Incorporated (FSI) to oversee the implementation of the project.

The building was built because in 1999, the Hong Kong government announced the intention to develop the Cyberport which would help local businesses capitalize on the rapid growth of the Internet. Cyberport was intended as a place where the development of information technology and multimedia would be nurtured so that the demands of these industries could be met in the future. It was also hoped that this development would help the HKSAR's economy rebound after the Asian financial crisis of 1997. It was a pleasant place to be.
