Leading up to the Techsauce Global Summit, HKSTP organised a series of strategic pre-event activities to enhance interactions and deepen connections within the local and regional innovation ecosystems. This initiative aligns HKSTP’s Innovation Mixer mission, which is to collaborate with enterprises and talent from around the world to grow our innovation and technology (I&T) ecosystems. The pre-event activities included meetings and exchanges with the National Innovation Agency (NIA), Digital Economy Promotion Agency (DEPA), True Digital Park, and investors, aiming to foster collaborative opportunities and demonstrate Hong Kong’s commitment to technology and innovation.
HKSTP actively engages with the I&T ecosystem across Southeast Asia, utilising Hong Kong’s strategic location to attract tech companies from the region. The HKSTP’s “HK Sandbox Programme” Cohort 1 was launched in 2023 for Thai startups to explore opportunities for growth in Hong Kong. Eight Thai startups joined HKSTP’s Ideation programme and landed in Hong Kong to further expand market coverage. Riding on the success of Cohort 1, applications are now open for a new cohort of Thai startups. Hong Kong serves as a pivotal gateway not only to Mainland China but also to the GBA, providing access to vast regional and international markets.
