Why Hong Kong

An entrepreneurial spirit, high efficiency, and a "can-do" attitude are the staples driving Hong Kong's active startup scene. With a growing number of international tech ventures setting up offices or R&D facilities here, the innovation and technology industry has established itself a key pillar of our economy.

Hong Kong's robust legal system, low taxation, business-friendly policies and strong intellectual property protection create an ideal environment for tech companies to thrive. A well-developed financial sector provides startups with ample funding opportunities and venture capital access across growth stages.

Our digital infrastructure supports 5G networks and encourages the building of high-performance computing and data centres. Policies are in place to facilitate and govern local and cross-border data flow, creating a safe environment for data collaboration and knowledge sharing.

The city's strategic location at the heart of Asia and its role as a gateway to Chinese Mainland offer tech entrepreneurs unparalleled access to interconnecting markets. With our key position within the Greater Bay Area, businesses benefit from immediate proximity to manufacturing hubs for scaling considerations.

The "One Country, Two Systems" principle is highly regarded by the international business community and foreign investors. As the world's only jurisdiction implementing a bilingual system with both Chinese and English as official languages, our legal framework across international investment, financing, commerce and trade is aligned with major global economies.

Hong Kong is the only city in Asia to have five universities ranked among the world's top 100. Renowned for our abundant pool of professional services talent, we continues to attract global R&D talent in new realms driving our economy and society towards sustainable, high-value development.
