Biggest Welcome to the World
Hong Kong serves as a gateway to Mainland China and other booming Asian markets due to its central geographical position.
Hong Kong has a free market economy, low taxes, and transparent regulations, which makes it easy to do business. It also upholds strong intellectual property rights.
Hong Kong welcomes international talents. We offer very open working visa policies and a diverse, multicultural environment that encourages innovation and exchange of ideas.
With numerous incubators, accelerators, and venture capital firms, Hong Kong provides a supportive environment for tech startups to grow and thrive.
Published in December 2022, Hong Kong Innovation and Technology Development Blueprint outlines a strategic plan for the Hong Kong innovation and technology (I&T) progression over the next 5-10 years. It aims to transform Hong Kong into an international I&T hub, focusing on four key areas: enhancing the I&T ecosystem, enlarging the I&T talent pool, promoting digital economy and smart city development, and integrating into the national development. The plan also introduces eight strategies, from strengthening research to deepening cooperation with Mainland China, and sets macro I&T development targets. A new advisory committee on I&T Industry Development has been established to oversee the plan's implementation.
