Breer, HKUST food upcycling startup that reduces bread waste and utilizes it in the brewing of beer, has been recognized in Climate Action Recognition Scheme 2020-21 and awarded an acceleration fund of HK$180,000.
Entrepreneurship Center takes pride in growing start-ups and sharing in its ups and downs. Breer has gone through challenges, from perfecting the brew, liaising with F&B partners to having business talks. There’s nothing more exciting that seeing our fellow student entrepreneurs further develop their passion and shine in a regional arena!
