Incubation

If you have expertise in technological applications, deep tech, or biotechnology, incubation programmes are your next step in the process of product development and commercialisation. We have witnessed the success of more than 850 incubation graduates, with 80% of them still in business and four having filed an IPO. With over 1,000 intellectual property applications filed and more than 630 awards obtained, at HKSTP, you can achieve today what others will achieve tomorrow.

Incubation

The 3-year incubation programme does not primarily focus on research. Tech ventures join the programme to commercialise their products, successfully enter the market, and gain commercial value from their innovations. This is a cornerstone startup incubator experience.
