Hong Kong is continuing its efforts to transform itself into the region’s innovation hub by rolling out the red carpet for the next generation of entrepreneurs aiming for the global market.
The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) is one of the organisations spearheading this initiative through its Start-up Express development programme, which is designed to help them scale up from business model development to eventually product launch.
More specifically, the programme aims to support aspiring start-ups by helping them build their capabilities, connect with potential corporate and funding partners, and increase their brand visibility.
The benefits offered to facilitate this journey include workshops to enhance their capacity, mentorship by business leaders, exploratory missions to the Greater Bay Area, and various opportunities for trade promotion both locally and internationally.
