While living in Beijing, the e-motorbike boom sparked his interest in the business potential for the wider application of lithium-ion batteries. Wanting to develop a product for the global market, Ng and his business partner took their business idea to Hong Kong. Not only is the city close to the supply chain in the south of Mainland China, where a lot of the materials needed to create the batteries are sourced, to Ng it was also the perfect place to launch a business due to its status as a buzzing international hub.<br><br>At a tech conference organized by a multinational law firm, he met a senior executive from a major construction company who took an interest in Ampd Energy and challenged the startup to create a clean energy solution for the industry that could replace diesel generators.<br><br>As an incubatee of the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP), Ampd Energy had access to resources needed to tackle this challenge in earnest. Leveraging the HKSTP\u2019s world-class facilities, financial support and its community of founders and mentors, the startup was able to develop the world\u2019s first energy storage system designed specifically for construction usage.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image--large \"><img data-src=\"https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022-Brandhk-AF2-Brandon-Ng-03-100x56.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022-Brandhk-AF2-Brandon-Ng-03.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022-Brandhk-AF2-Brandon-Ng-03-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022-Brandhk-AF2-Brandon-Ng-03-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022-Brandhk-AF2-Brandon-Ng-03-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022-Brandhk-AF2-Brandon-Ng-03-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022-Brandhk-AF2-Brandon-Ng-03-1247x701.jpg 1247w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022-Brandhk-AF2-Brandon-Ng-03-826x465.jpg 826w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022-Brandhk-AF2-Brandon-Ng-03-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022-Brandhk-AF2-Brandon-Ng-03-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022-Brandhk-AF2-Brandon-Ng-03-520x293.jpg 520w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022-Brandhk-AF2-Brandon-Ng-03-260x146.jpg 260w\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-image__image lazy\"><figcaption class=\"wp-block-image__caption\">The Enertainer uses lithium-ion batteries similar to those used in electric vehicles.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image--large \"><img data-src=\"https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022-Brandhk-AF2-Brandon-Ng-02-100x56.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022-Brandhk-AF2-Brandon-Ng-02.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022-Brandhk-AF2-Brandon-Ng-02-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022-Brandhk-AF2-Brandon-Ng-02-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022-Brandhk-AF2-Brandon-Ng-02-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022-Brandhk-AF2-Brandon-Ng-02-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022-Brandhk-AF2-Brandon-Ng-02-1247x701.jpg 1247w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022-Brandhk-AF2-Brandon-Ng-02-826x465.jpg 826w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022-Brandhk-AF2-Brandon-Ng-02-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022-Brandhk-AF2-Brandon-Ng-02-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022-Brandhk-AF2-Brandon-Ng-02-520x293.jpg 520w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022-Brandhk-AF2-Brandon-Ng-02-260x146.jpg 260w\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-image__image lazy\"><figcaption class=\"wp-block-image__caption\">It has the potential to help the construction industry reduce CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions by up to 195,000 metric tons annually.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#ba1b13\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Its flagship Enertainer batteries are currently being used in over 70 major construction projects in Hong Kong, helping to build retail and residential spaces, as well as public buildings such as hospitals.
