Alchemist – Social Innovation Industry

scale-up, job training and opportunities, persons with disabilities, Impact Incubator

Unleashing talents and capabilities of persons with disabilities through design and production of light industry products

 

Alchemist Creations works with local sheltered workshops to set up production lines, create jobs and provide skill training for persons with disabilities (PWDs). It also offers opportunities for local designers of fine quality products such as the CAN-WATCH for sale in the international market. PWDs talented in drawing will be nurtured and given opportunities to demonstrate their skills through the products.

With support from the SIE Fund, the scale-up project will set up a new product line (e.g. bag series) to enhance direct sales and partner with the famous Asian on-line platform to boost online sales. It will also work with kidult bloggers and celebrities to promote its products.
