Towngas Hall of Innovation

Towngas emphasises a culture of innovation within the Company. It allows full play to employees’ creativity to foster business growth and an innovative mindset. Located in the exhibition hall of Towngas North Point Headquarters, the Towngas Hall of Innovation opened in 2015 to showcase original concepts developed by colleagues.

Dream Zone

In 2013, the Company set up the Dream Zone at North Point Headquarters to nurture an atmosphere of innovation within the Group. The colourful design of the Dream Zone helps create a collaborative, relaxed atmosphere conducive to creative thinking. The Zone provides information on and displays different innovation tools, whilst the sofa and television offer an ideal break-out space for brainstorming sessions and spontaneous discussion.

Social Media

Social media broaden employees’ horizons and inspire creativity. An internal social platform has proved to be very popular, whilst a company presence on WeChat and Facebook ensures employees have free access to innovative ideas to spur inspiration.

Innovation Funding

In a bid to further promote innovation within the Company, “Innovation Funding” was launched in 2016. The aim of the fund is to encourage employees to go beyond their “comfortable” boundaries and submit creative proposals for business expansion applicable to any part of the Company.
 
Employees can apply to the Innovation Funding in the name of an individual or a team. Content of the proposal can include, but is not limited to, “work within their respective departments”. Employees can also submit collaborations with university and/or private research institutions to develop new technologies. If the proposal is selected, the applicants receive “seed” money to get the project up and running.
 
The Company welcomes monthly“reports on progress”highlighting targets achieved - including completion of the “preliminary test” and “formal implementation” stages –prior set conditions of the funding. Each target phase reached is rewarded, by the Executive Committee, with a bonus according to content and progress of the project.
