Highlights
The tech startup
ecosystem in Hong Kong has been grown rapidly in the last few years. However,
Hong Kong is still lagging behind in access to Angel, venture capital, or any
kinds of investors and the opportunities to move forward to the next stage
(i.e. local brandings, make in HK, etc.) is comparably having smaller room. On
the other hand, Hong Kong Government has launched new policies to support the
local tech startups via Hong Kong Science and Technology Park Corporation. Some
successful stories had been reported by the media from the past 2 years.
The experience sharing
from the real successful cases will be conducted by the seminar.
