MaD 2012 Asian Participants Subsidy Scheme

In January 2011, MaD was able to provide travel subsidies to more than 200 young people from mainland China to come to Hong Kong and attend the MaD Forum.

 

This year, and thanks to our sponsor River Star Foundation, we are able to extend this subsidy scheme to young people from the rest of Asia. No matter where you are, whether you live as far north as Korea or as far south as Indonesia, or somewhere in between, as long as you are passionate about social innovation and want to make a difference, you can apply and have a chance to receive subsidy (including airfare and free admission), come to Hong Kong and join MaD 2012 from 6 to 8 January.
