Entrepreneurs of Lantau recently celebrated a remarkable inaugural event that left everyone inspired, enlightened, and motivated. On a balmy evening at an enchanting venue, attendees from diverse professional backgrounds gathered to kick off what promises to be an incredible journey.

The star of the evening was none other than Bey Logan, whose stories of how he ventured into the Hong Kong Kung Fu Cinema scene as a Westerner had the audience in splits. From chance encounters to humorous mishaps, his journey into this mesmerizing world was a testament to the unexpected paths entrepreneurship can lead us down.

But this event was about more than just entertainment. It was a platform for entrepreneurs, visionaries, and dreamers to connect, share, and support each other. Attendees mingled and shared their own tales of entrepreneurship, forging connections that could potentially reshape the Lantau business landscape.

What made this night even more special was the philanthropic spirit that flowed through the room. Entrepreneurs of Lantau partnered with "Run for Freedom," a movement close to our hearts. We raised funds for "Exchange and Empower," a charity dedicated to helping domestic helpers in Hong Kong access trail running, equipment, and races, providing them with opportunities they might not have had otherwise.

As we laughed, mingled, and shared stories, we also made a tangible impact on our community. The funds we raised will go a long way in helping domestic helpers in Hong Kong pursue their passion for trail running, opening doors to new experiences and horizons. This inaugural event was just the beginning of our journey together. Entrepreneurs of Lantau is more than a network; it's a vibrant community of like-minded individuals determined to make a difference. Whether it's through laughter, storytelling, or giving back, we're united by our shared passion for entrepreneurship and our commitment to supporting one another.

"Thank you Entrepreneurs of Lantau Jo Lodder and Jérôme de Clarens for supporting the Exchange and Empower Hong Kong program!" - Keilem Ng Exchange and Empower founder.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Bey Logan for sharing his incredible journey, to all the attendees who brought their unique stories to the table, and to everyone who contributed to our fundraising efforts for "Exchange and Empower." Together, we've shown that entrepreneurship isn't just about business; it's about making a positive impact on the world around us.
