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.

Riding on the success of Cohort 1, applications are now open for a new cohort of Thai startups.
