The Trends of Investing in Tech Startups

In recent years, the number of startups in Asia has been increasing significantly. From our joint report “Transforming Hong Kong Through Entrepreneurship” with Alibaba Entrepreneurs Fund, we understand Hong Kong is a leading innovation and entrepreneurship hub within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (“GBA”) in China. The city has capitalised on the advantages under the “one country, two systems”, strategic geographical location, established legal system, robust protection for intellectual property, as well as highly efficient financial platforms and world-class universities. And despite the COVID-19 pandemic, Hong Kong continues to make good progress in its journey to become a vibrant startup and innovation hub. 

At this webinar, panel speakers will discuss how startups have the capacity to shape and change industries of the future too. Big investment was the driving force of startups over the last decade, but could the model be changing? What are the trends of investing in tech startups that will shape the next decade?
