In addition to organising the Hong Kong Green FinTech Summit, Cyberport hosted two enlightening seminars during the Hong Kong Green Week, aimed at propelling the city’s green economy and sustainable development forward. A notable highlight was the unveiling of the “Prototype Hong Kong Green FinTech Map”, a precursor to the government’s Hong Kong Green FinTech Map.
The first seminar, titled “Harnessing PropTech, ESG, and FinTech for a Greener Future”, squarely spotlighted the potential and applications of these technologies. Industry professionals and members of the public gained valuable insights into the extensive potential and current opportunities provided by these technologies. The event also featured exhibitions by 12 start-ups from the Cyberport community showcasing their GreenTech solutions.
During the “Green FinTech: Catalyst for Scaling Sustainable Finance” event, Cyberport not only underscored the significance of Green FinTech but also unveiled the “Prototype Hong Kong Green FinTech Map”.
This invaluable resource serves as a one-stop directory, cataloguing Green FinTech enterprises in Hong Kong along with their specific services. Aimed at facilitating corporations and financial firms in identifying green and sustainable FinTech solutions to meet their business needs, the map lists a variety of services including ESG data and analytics, ESG disclosures and regulatory reporting, climate risk modelling and assessment, Green FinTech and investments, and carbon credit trading and analytics. Currently, the map features over 50 companies, including more than 20 from the Cyberport community, with the expectation of continual refinement and updates leading to its expansion.
Sharing his vision for the map, Peter Yan, CEO of Cyberport, stated, “Green FinTech has the potential to catalyse green and sustainable finance through product innovation, environmental compliance, distribution, and more. It also empowers consumers to make green and ESG-conscious financial decisions in their daily lives. We anticipate that the map will stimulate green FinTech applications and foster a more comprehensive Green FinTech ecosystem in Hong Kong.”
