Happenings

Blueprint has remained committed to caring about our Members’ and Guests’ health and safety. During this time, we continue to implement the following measures around Blueprint:

Regular Cleaning and Disinfection
- Regular cleaning of all areas of Blueprint including Work Zones (Coworking Space and Private Offices) and Common Areas (Café, Lounge, pantry areas, and washrooms) and frequent disinfection of high-touch areas such as door knobs and switches.

Temperature Checks and Health Declarations
- Body temperature checks are carried out at Reception for anyone entering Blueprint
- QR code for the LeaveHomeSafe app available for visitors to scan and record their visits.
- Guests and visitors entering Member-Only Work Zones or our Event Venues must complete a Health Declaration upon entering Blueprint.

Safe Social Distancing Measures
In addition to the above measures, we follow all contemporaneous government restrictions such that:
- Masks must be worn throughout Blueprint;
- Group seating in the Café and Lounge adheres to maximum limits; and
- We work closely with Event bookings to ensure venue set-up and arrangements are within the guidelines.

Blueprint is the proud venue sponsor for our BMTK Partner FastLane's webinar on Digital Transformation! In collaboration with Wantedly and Workstem, they invite us to explore smart-working solutions for time-poor entrepreneurs.
Key takeaways:
- Common pitfalls of entrepreneurs fall into
- Change of business practice changes since the pandemic
- How to gain an edge on competitors by streamlining your business

Our Members enjoyed a virtual Lion Dance viewing with some festive Chinese New Year treats (peanut dumplings, sesame cookies, and more!) and generously 'fed the lion' - i.e put donations towards Feeding Hong Kong to support those less fortunate during the Lunar New Year.

If you have a great idea or a business venture you’re looking to jump-start, the Business Angel Programme is here to help! Open to all start-ups and SMEs, the programme aims to connect entrepreneurs with Angel Investors, giving you the opportunity to present your business ideas to potential investors. With guidance along the way, they provide feedback from industry experts, mentorship, and presentation training.

Kung Hei Fat Choy from Team Blueprint! Wishing all Blueprint Members' and their families a happy, healthy & prosperous Year of the Ox!

To celebrate the holidays, we got creative this year with our Christmas Gift-Giving session in the Town Hall!
There were freebies up for grabs as well as a range of thoughtful gifts for all our Members to win through a Lucky Draw.
Some Members also chose to take part in Secret Santa, where they were randomly given the name of another Member and tasked with buying them a present within a HK$100 budget.
The event garnered a great Christmas turnout and we were happy to see so many masked-but-smiling faces winning their presents!

We put in our (pink) steps for a good cause in October. As part of Bravera's #PinkSteps Walkathon Challenge, we walked to raise breast cancer awareness and donated towards Hong Kong Breast Cancer Foundation whilst we did it!
Blueprint sponsored 5 Members to take on the Walkathon Challenge, which required participants to walk 21KM at their own pace within 7 days. All proceeds went directly to the HKBCF for breast cancer research.
We want to thank all of our Members who took part in the Challenge and congratulations to those who were able to hit their goal of 21KM!

Our two urban farming sessions with Rooftop Republic were a lot of fun, and what made one of them even better was that we were able to donate our harvest to those in need. We were taught the basics of harvesting during our first urban farming session at The Loop. As a group, we managed to pool together 5.35kg of fresh sweet potato leaves which were then generously donated to Feeding Hong Kong.

The Committee stands as a platform for Members to 'have a say' through a dedicated channel for dialogue with our Community Team, discussing things such as events, initiatives, and other things you'd like to see at Blueprint.

A huge congratulations to PALO IT on their exciting milestone - becoming the FIRST tech company in Hong Kong to earn B Corporation status!
