EVENT REVIEW
Day 1:
Capturing startup trend (FinTech, Property Tech, etc.) in Asia/HK?
FinTech and Property Tech have been some of the hottest topics in town for a couple of years, as Hong Kong is one of the most important international business and financial centres in the world.
Abundant promising opportunities awaiting to be explored; yet, the growth of various innovation in Hong Kong is also facing tremendous competitions from neighbouring countries in Asia such as Singapore, Japan and Korea, which have all achieved thriving track records in their respective startup ecosystems.
How could Hong Kong capture these startup trends in Asia? What are the exciting opportunities and threats to be aware of in the coming few years? In this session, we will discuss the latest development and trend of new tech innovation such as FinTech, Property Tech, etc. in Hong Kong and Asia.
