KAPIDA’s Journey to Harvard CIIC: How NFC Technology is Weaving Stories into Everyday Life
Hong Kong startup KAPIDA has just unlocked a thrilling new chapter—our innovative NFC smart solutions have been named a finalist in Harvard CIIC’s prestigious H-InnoPitch Startup Competition! Blending cutting-edge tech, artistic elegance, and planet-friendly design, KAPIDA now joins global innovators headed to Shanghai.
As one of the few Hong Kong teams to reach the finals, we’re ready to showcase the innovative spirit of the city’s young entrepreneurs on a global stage.
Technology Woven with Cultural Warmth
From NFC business cards that replace disposable paper to interactive NFC exhibit tags in museums, every KAPIDA product redefines human-technology interaction. That’s the magic KAPIDA embeds in every NFC creation, turning cold chips into carriers of culture and meaning—whether it’s making a first impression in professional networking or unlocking millennia of history behind a museum artefact.
"Through innovation, we bridge technology and cultural creativity to enrich lives," said Florence Ng, Co-Founder and CEO of KAPIDA. "Technology need not be impersonal—it can carry both warmth and resonance. Like the intentional empty spaces in Chinese ink wash painting, thoughtful technology should create breathing room for human connection. Harvard CIIC's recognition proves that the world needs tech solutions that don’t just solve problems but also touch hearts."
A Global Stage for Cutting-Edge Innovation
The H-InnoPitch competition is a flagship event of the Harvard CIIC, attracting top startups in biotech, artificial intelligence, and sustainable development. This year’s theme—"Venturing Beyond the Unknowns"—aligns perfectly with KAPIDA’s vision to "Redefine Lifestyle with NFC Technology." Over the past five years, Harvard CIIC has brought together 200+ industry leaders, 5,000+ participants, and innovators from 30+ countries, extending its influence across Europe, the Middle East, China, and North America—fostering cross-border collaboration.
Next Stop: Shanghai Finals
At the finals in Shanghai, KAPIDA will demonstrate how its aesthetically refined and sustainable NFC solutions can revitalize traditional scenarios. "We’re not just presenting hardware—we’re proposing a vision for the future," emphasized Tiffany Zhang, Co-Founder and CFO. "Here, sustainability meets style, and technology turns everyday moments into stories.”
