Roundtable on the Hong Kong start-up ecosystem

September 24, 2025  | William MAK

The roundtable was organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council.

Hong Kong provides a highly favourable environment for the growth of young companies:

• easy access to investors, thanks to the presence of numerous banks and international funds;
• an attractive tax regime, with incentives dedicated to innovation such as the patent box;
• strong public support, with over 21 billion euros invested in recent years to foster innovation and technology;
• a privileged gateway to the Chinese market, notably through the Northern Metropolis project.

Hong Kong thus positions itself as a key hub for innovative activities and research and development in the region.
