The DO School Asia expands in Hong Kong on first anniversary

German social enterprise, The DO School Asia, has expanded its operation in Hong Kong with a newly-completed North Point facility, providing continuous support to its clients in turning ideas into action, creating movements of change, and enabling social impact.

Following its one-year anniversary, The DO School Asia has relocated its campus to a substantially expanded space in North Point and announced the new scope of work for 2021, including supporting start-ups, rebuilding greener, and upskilling workforces. It will also continue to grow partnerships in Mainland China, the Philippines, Thailand, Australia, Indonesia and the United Arab Emirates, according to its Chief Executive, Dr Anson Wong.

Dr Wong said, “Our presence in Hong Kong is one of the key elements for making this successful. Although it has been a very challenging year, a lot has happened at The Do School Asia. We continue to make a dent here in Hong Kong and Asia with growing partnerships and new engagements with both businesses and local non-government organisations.”

He added, “We have positively impacted more than 30,000 service users or beneficiaries as well as touched more than 4,000 stakeholders in our community and across the region. Our Asia campus is a linchpin of our work in Asia and Europe.”

Director-General of Investment Promotion at Invest Hong Kong, Mr Stephen Phillips, said, “We are happy to see the expansion of The DO School Asia in Hong Kong. As a leading regional business centre, the city is strategically situated at the heart of Asia and gateway to Mainland. It is an ideal location for the organisation to grow in the region. We look forward to its further expansion in Hong Kong and beyond.”
