Cyberport from all stages would enjoy US$2,000 for Google Cloud credits to start with; eligible start-ups will further receive minimum US$100,000 (up to US$500,000) worth of benefits in Google Cloud credits as they scale their operation, fundraising capability and international growth plan with secured and reliable cloud solutions and computer power. In addition, start-ups will enjoy special discounts for using Google Maps Platform that helps start-ups create better experiences and improve operations with rich and detailed geospatial data, helpful mapping tools, and industry-leading reliability.
Without worrying about the infrastructure and computing capacity, start-ups can focus on their core business growth plans and innovations. The program will also provide additional training and technical support to the city’s largest FinTech community as they utilise Google Cloud for high performance computing (e.g. quantitative analysis and risk modelling); leverage Google Maps Platform APIs and geospatial data; design apps following Google Play best practices; and even global expansion and promotion plan with Google Marketing Platform. Eligible FinTech start-ups with disruptive innovation and international growth expansion plan will also receive go-to-market, fundraising support, and access to a global FinTech community and start-up founders networking events, powered by Google.
“Cyberport has been leveraging our technology, enterprises, investors and professional services networks to collaborate with different stakeholders and support our community companies for business opportunities, fundraising, and go-to-market,” said Peter Yan, CEO of Cyberport, “We are glad to have Google, a member of our Cyberport Technology Network (CTN), launch its global start-up oriented programme first in Hong Kong with Cyberport. Google provides a comprehensive suite of technologies, including leading-edge data analytics and AI solutions, for Cyberport start-ups’ free use that worth up to US$500,000, to speed up their product development and product launch.”
Michael Yue, General Manager of Sales & Operations at Google Hong Kong said, “Together with Cyberport, we hope to bring a suite of Google solutions ranging from cloud computing, mapping and digital marketing, that could help start-ups scale and pivot quickly to address new opportunities in today’s dynamic environment.”
