Hong Kong - Global Launchpad for Startups

​Hong Kong’s startup ecosystem reached a record high in 2025, with 5,221 startups employing nearly 20,000 people—an increase of around 40% since 2021. The city’s strengths in FinTech, Infocomm Technology, and Biotechnology are driving this growth, supported by deep capital pools, strong professional services, and access to Mainland China and global markets.

​As one of Asia’s leading venture capital and innovation hubs, Hong Kong offers founders a unique platform to:

• ​Test and scale products in a highly international and friendly market.

• ​Tap into Greater Bay Area demand, talent and supply chains.

• ​Raise capital from a diverse base of VCs, family offices and strategic investors to fuel fundraising rounds and partnerships.

​Beyond funding, founders benefit from government support, startup programmes, and a dense network of incubators, accelerators and co‑working spaces, which together lower the barrier to entry and help startups expand.

​InvestHK invites startup founders to this session to unpack what these numbers and programmes mean in practice. The session will feature:

• ​A sharing by Ms Jayne Chan, Head of StartmeupHK, InvestHK, providing insights on Hong Kong’s latest startup initiatives, support schemes and sector opportunities; and

• ​Success story sharing by Professor Edward Du, Tech Innovator and Cofounder of NUT Limited, Hong Kong on how startups may leverage Hong Kong as a launchpad to grow and scale their business.

​You will gain a clearer picture of how Hong Kong can support your fundraising, R&D, market expansion and partnership strategies—and how to plug into the ecosystem at your current stage of growth.

​Registration opens at 2:45 pm. The session will begin promptly at 3:00 pm.

​Seats are limited and will be allocated on a first‑come, first‑served basis. Only those who receive and present the event QR code will be admitted. So, sign up now to reserve your spot.
