Innovation Bridge for Scaling Australian Startups · A roundtable with HSITP
From Sydney to Asia via Hong Kong.
The Hong Kong-Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park (HSITP) is Hong Kong's new flagship innovation park, similar to Sydney's Tech Central. Government-backed, with a fresh HK$10B injection in the 2026–27 Budget, it sits on the Shenzhen border and brings together government, industry and universities, with dedicated policy support for startups. Its executives are in Sydney for one afternoon. Come and meet them at a small roundtable.
Applications for HSITP's incubation programmes close soon (30 November).
