HK as an Innovation and Entrepreneurship Hub: Fantasy, Reality, or Possibility?
The Brown Club of Hong Kong and the American Chamber of Commerce are proud to present a thought-provoking discussion on the potential of Hong Kong (HK) to become a thriving innovation and entrepreneurship hub. Delve into the captivating discussion surrounding the possibilities, challenges, and aspirations of HK in this dynamic domain.
Hong Kong's corporations, universities, and government have recently made substantial investments in innovation and entrepreneurship, hoping to produce a new engine of growth to complement the city's traditional strengths in finance, real estate, and trade. However, whether HK can really emerge as a global hub for innovation and entrepreneurship remains up for debate. HK has unique strengths, including its corporate sector, research universities, and connections across the region and the world. Nevertheless, it also faces unique headwinds.
Please join our panel of corporate innovators, entrepreneurs, and other visionaries as we explore Hong Kong's potential to become a thriving hub for innovation and entrepreneurship. Discover the success stories of startups and established companies that have already made their mark in HK's innovation ecosystem. Gain valuable knowledge about the existing infrastructure, resources, and support systems available to entrepreneurs, and explore the untapped potential that lies within the city's business landscape.
During the event, you'll have the opportunity to network with like-minded individuals, including aspiring entrepreneurs, investors, and industry professionals, fostering connections that could shape the future of HK's innovation and entrepreneurship domain.
Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, a seasoned business professional, or intrigued by the possibilities, this event offers a platform to challenge assumptions, share ideas, and envision the future of HK as an innovation and entrepreneurship hub.
