The NEXT Move
This is not only a chess set. It is a shared object of strategy, culture, and connection.
Chinese chess has always brought people together across parks, homes, offices, and public spaces. With every move, players read the board, respond to each other and start a conversation. This is why we call it The Next Move.
The orange and blue pieces represent HKSTP’s ecosystem in play. Different perspectives, one shared board. A subtle Golden Egg reference anchors the set to HKSTP’s landmark and to the place where innovators meet. Each move is a small act of connection, and an invitation to the next generation to think ahead together.
Heritage, remade for the next move
The board draws from Hong Kong’s urban memory, echoing the rhythm of galvanized metal folding gates seen across shopfronts, neighborhoods, and streets.
In Hong Kong, when a shop rolls up its gate, it opens a space for exchange. This set is inspired by the same idea: a modern cultural object that brings people together through strategy and play.
A set made to connect
For 25 years, HKSTP has been connecting the right people with the right resources, from founders, corporates, investors, researchers, and talent to partners across Hong Kong and the world. This chess set reflects the same belief. Progress is never made alone. It happens through the right moves, the right conversations, and the right community.
As an ecosystem that represents "Innovations. Next by Nature", HKSTP continues to bring people together to shape what’s next. Sit down. Make a move. Start a conversation.
