Annual Report 2014/15

Leaping on Global Ambition

借助全球脈絡，飛躍發展

Page 48

At the same time, we foster global businesses to Cyberport and

Hong Kong. In November 2014, Cyberport held the Global

Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) China — Hong Kong, part of a

global event held in 160 countries during the same week.

Cyberport was a key supporter of GEW China — Hong Kong

along with the Shanghai Technology Entrepreneurship

Foundation for Graduates. The event included a pitching day, a

showcase and a career day as well as the annual gathering of

the Cyberport Startup Alumni Association.

Cyberport’s efforts to work with its community to leap on global

ambition are facilitated by its multinational and multicultural

nature. Whilst Hong Kong companies accounted for 67% of

companies housed in the Cyberport complex, there are also

companies from France, the US, Mainland China, the UK,

Australia, the Netherlands, Japan, Belgium and New Zealand.

For foreign businesses looking to set up in Hong Kong,

Cyberport provides a unique proposition as a digital technology

hub that spurs and encourages innovation. The interactions

among companies large and small are unique.

In the year to March 2015, Cyberport continued to make strides

in expanding its global networks by working with start-ups and

established businesses to extend their presence and reach

beyond Hong Kong to markets across the region and the world.

Cyberport’s support extends to providing business support and

soft-landing services and plugging community members

directly into established networks to expand into new markets.

To facilitate this expansion, we have expanded our links to the

international ecosystems in Mainland China, the US, Japan,

South Korea, Singapore, Canada, France and the UK. In

particular, we work closely with organisations and businesses

in Silicon Valley. We brought in partners including Silicon

Dragon Ventures, MoDev and Ding Ding TV to host signature

investment and entrepreneurship events. Leading US

accelerators such as 500 Startups, Plug & Play and Techstars

were invited to provide briefing and individual consultation

sessions for Hong Kong start-ups. We also partnered with

world-class tech event organisers to provide platforms for

start-ups to reach out and explore the US markets. Delegations

to tech conferences and exhibitions such as TechCrunch

Disrupt SF and TiEcon in San Francisco, South by Southwest in

Austin helped start-ups in gaining brand exposure and

connecting with investors and business partners.
