About

Description
The story of Good Lab began with one simple question: How do we enable people who have brilliant ideas to tackle social issues scale up their work, and thus their impact? Conversations with a number of them revealed that space – suitable work space that offers flexibility and opportunities – was one of the biggest challenges for innovators. This is why Good Lab pioneered the idea of establishing a shared space and hub for social entrepreneurship in 2012, a time when co-working spaces were almost unheard of in Hong Kong – not to mention one that is made for social entrepreneurs. OUR MISSION We connect different minds and actions to bring innovative ideas to life. Good Lab is a think-and-do tank for social innovation. Imagine people of different walks of life coming together to tackle some of the biggest social challenges in Hong Kong — We believe human-centred design and cross-sector collaboration are the answers to creating a sustainable and better tomorrow.
For over 25 years FOCUS has been a trusted resource for Hong Kong parents, educators and medical professionals seeking to learn how to better support the academic and social lives of children with mainstream learning differences. FOCUS aims to improve educational and life outcomes of children with AD/HD and SpLD by expanding understanding and raising awareness of what it means to have a mind that learns differently Our mission is is to improve the education of mainstream students who are challenged by Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD) and Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD) by providing accurate evidence-based information, practical strategies and support to parents and professionals in education and healthcare and by improving understanding of how learning differences impact youth both emotionally and academically.
