• Hong Kong made a new go-to as global tech gateway

Contesto

Hong Kong has unveiled a new international network aimed at positioning the city as a primary gateway for technology scale-ups seeking to expand across the Chinese mainland and overseas markets. Launched in March by the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP), the Global Connect – Global Innovation Exchange (GIE) is designed as a year-round platform to help growth-stage companies win business, raise capital, and find strategic partners. The initiative comes at a time when Hong Kong is striving to reinforce its role as a hub for innovation and technology, amid increasing competition from other financial and tech centers in the region.

The platform also underscores the city’s ambition to serve as a bridge between China’s technological ambitions and international standards of corporate governance and intellectual property protection. Observers note that the success of the GIE will depend on its ability to deliver tangible results for participating companies,...
