Tech West England Advocates (TWEA) are inviting tech founders and investors from across West England and the UK to join them to explore Hong Kong’s exciting tech eco-system. The trade mission, entitled ‘Mission to Hong Kong – Your Tech Gateway to Asia Pacific’ will take place during 13th – 17th November. TWEA mission is open to Tech Founders with export ready technologies in CleanTech, HealthTech, FinTech, AI, Robotics, RegTech, SmartCity Tech, and to Investors and VCs.
The development of the Hong Kong’s Tech eco-system has been a top priority for Hong Kong Government in recent years, with more than HKD$150 billion invested since 2017. Hong Kong has significantly stepped-up support for scientific research and technology sectors by developing infrastructure, promoting research & development, nurturing talent, promoting re-industrialisation and enhancing financial support to enterprises.
Hong Kong’s Tech start ups and scale ups are supported by a strong network of incubators and accelerators, a pool of experienced angels and venture capitalists who we’ll be engaging with during our mission.
Richard Lowe, founder of TWEA and mission organiser says, “Hong Kong is Asia’s most vibrant city and the ideal place to do business. With excellent infrastructure, pro-business policies and strategic location make it the preferred destination, and the best gateway for opportunities across Asia Pacific. As well as visiting Hong Kong’s Science and Technology Park and Cyberport Tech hubs, our mission is planned during StartMeUp HK 2023 week, which attracts 8,000 delegates from around the world into Hong Kong. The event is designed to support companies that are looking at Hong Kong as a start up hub for their Asia Pacific expansion and will enrich networking, business matching and investment opportunities.”
Six mission launch events, supported by InvestHK are scheduled between 19th – 27th April for in-person and online attendees to learn more about this exciting export market opportunity. These are free to all Tech Founders and Investors to join, to book your place visit Tech West England Advocates | Tech Mission to Hong Kong and to express your interest as a mission delegate or sponsor, email richard@hewlettrand.com TWEA mission organiser for more details
