Introduction
Motive Force
Motive Force Technology Limited was founded in 2016. As a distinguished member of the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park Enterprise Acceleration Program (formerly recognized as the Leap Program), our unwavering commitment lies in the research and development of core software and technological applications for immersive virtual reality systems. Our ultimate goal is to revolutionize and optimize traditional teaching and rehabilitation methods through innovative technology.
Since its inception, Motive Force has proudly unveiled its own branded products - VirCube, an immersive XR extended reality system that offers an unparalleled lifelike experience, and SilverMOVE, a gamified VR virtual sports system. Anchored in the principle of movement, we transcend the boundaries of reality, extending cross-disciplinary exploratory learning and simulated life training experiences to individuals of varying age groups, sectors, and capabilities.
Our Team
We value innovative communication and diverse collaboration. In just a few short years since its establishment, we have built a robust team comprising experts in software and hardware development, content creation, production, business expansion, and marketing. This convergence of multidisciplinary technical expertise and professional experience forms the cornerstone of our success.
Simultaneously, our business investors and management team consist of industry professionals, including former primary and secondary school principals, art education consultants, and even professors from the University of Hong Kong Medical School. Their collective expertise spans from academic knowledge to practical technology, guiding the company to emerge as a trailblazer in XR applications within the realms of education, senior technology, and healthcare industries in Hong Kong.
Corporation
The corporate headquarter of Motive Force are situated in Hong Kong, strategically leveraging the technological ecosystem provided by the HKSTP for our research and development endeavors. In a subsequent strategic move, we inaugurated a state-of-the-art VR experience laboratory located in Kwun Tong, Kowloon. To effectively cater to the burgeoning demands of the market, we have further established robust production and logistics divisions in both Hong Kong and Shenzhen.
A pivotal development in our expansion trajectory materialized in 2022 with the establishment of our Canadian subsidiary, thereby augmenting our international footprint and fortifying our position in overseas markets.
