Little Sweetness

Global Outlook & Ethical Leader
" Diabetes is one of the top deadly diseases in Hong Kong due to the Asian culinary culture with a high carbs diet, therefore, we would like to create a platform which provides diabetic-related information. We would like to create a platform which provides diabetic-related information, explore low-GI restaurants and at last create a low-GI trend just like the Green Monday trend."
Ms YEUNG Yuk Fung Nicky

" We believe that a good quality and affordable diabetes-friendly diet is not only something people want but actually something people need."
Ms NGAI Karina

 

" We really want to contribute to society in bringing up more food providers to offer Low-GI food options. This is not only important for the diabetics but also everyone who is health-conscious.;
Ms LAU Yin Kwan Kayley

 

Entrepreneurship
"We started executing our plan in 2018 and made good use of the POC fund to build our website, maintain our social media platform, develop recipes, make different low-GI food and showcase in different exhibitions. A tasting menu event was held and joined by F&B professionals and nutrition/food science professors from the ABCT department; they were served with a 3-course low-GI lunch that was made by us."
Ms NGAI Karina

"There are millions of business ideas in the world, but the point is how your business idea can outperform others in the same area , and turn that business idea into a business model that makes money. Pitching the ideas to possible investors are another skills that three of us have learnt a lot. Time is valuable that people will only pay a minute or two to listen to you, that is why we have to build a perfect story that can attract others fast. As a start-up with a tight budget, we had to do it on our own to save more money for other uses."
Ms LAU Yin Kwan Kayley

 

Professional Competences
"Strategic marketing skills need to get into the game to help the business growth which is really a difficult topic. As three of us have no materials for marketing , particularly bad in designing."
Ms LAU Yin Kwan Kayley

Effective Communication
"SUnlike vegetarian diets, the concept is uncommon in most people’s knowledge, the diet trend is rarely adopted. People tend to not care if we mention technical terms like GI and glucose level, so they would not listen to our further elaboration. We discovered that people would be interested if we talk about the short-term possible positive effects of eating low-GI food, such as decreased drowsiness after meals and weight loss."
Ms LAU Yin Kwan Kayley

"After pitching the idea for many times to a wide spectrum of audiences, the presentation skill that I find most useful is to attract people’s attention in the beginning by telling stories and asking them to think for a while.."
