Motherapp was born in 2008, inspired by a belief in the positive power of technology. We specialize in consumer and enterprise app development and consulting. Our name reminds us of our role as the “mother of applications”.
Applications meaning integrated software/hardware solutions. In that sense we love our creations, take care of them and bring them up to do good in the world. We specialize in consumer and enterprise app development, as well as digital consulting.
Motherapp’s got your back
We know new technology can be scary. And there’s a lot of hype. We apply our caring approach and expert consumer and enterprise app development to simplify technology. We aim to bring innovation to people and organizations in a way that brings confidence, peace-of-mind and success.
Our track record demonstrates genuine leadership in applying proven and emerging technology.
One of our first initiatives was a community-built mobile app for TED Talks. Released long before the official app, we made it to simply help spread great ideas.
In 2011 we were among the first to implement the design-driven agile process followed by most leading developers today. It helped us put User Experience (UX) at the center of our process.
Our 2015 IoT solution for Ocean Park helps millions of visitors spend their time better at the park. It enables staff to be deployed where they are most needed and showed the way for effective real-time crowd management.
The recognition we have won for our enterprise app development work includes the Asia Mobile Awards in Best Mobile App for Enterprise, and Enterprise and Global Champion in the Smart City category for the United Nations initiated World Summit Awards.
Bringing mobile, AI and IoT together for you
In 2017 the Alpha Go artificial intelligence application beat the world’s best Go champion. This was a milestone year for AI, and for Motherapp, as we launched our data-driven solutions.
We believe IoT, mobile and AI will transform sectors previously untouched by technology. Our smart environment applications make cities and factories and other spaces safer, and more transparent and efficient.
Our smart consumer engagement applications make brand/customer interactions much more personal and meaningful. To make the technology easy to benefit from, in 2018 we launched our dedicated customer engagement platform Aillia.
Technology is ever evolving. We promise to continue our ongoing quest to carefully identify, experiment, and apply new technology meaningfully to continuously bring value to our society in the best way that we know how.

Our
team
Ken came from a background of computer science from HKUST and a masters from Stanford University.
Before setting up Motherapp in Hong Kong, Ken was a Silicon Valley original, and part of Google’s early team of only a hundred staff. There, he developed a patented algorithm to find associated webpages and a sentiment analysis based on big data. Upon his return to Hong Kong in 2008, he started Motherapp – a pioneer in mobile app development, before Android devices even existed.
Ken is the Young Entrepreneur Award Winner of the prestigious Hong Kong Business Awards in 2016. Now, he is leading the company to greater heights in applied artificial intelligence and data analytics for several industries, covering retail, manufacturing and public sectors in Hong Kong and Greater Asia.
