Hong Kong
innovation ecosystem
Following Protei Sailing hackathon
February 2014
Innovation has no place in a global world, it’s everywhere
Innovation ecosystems can learn from one another
Local context matters and should be a source for innovators
This is why…
We’re on a world tour of innovation ecosystems!
We believe…
History & context of
innovation in Hong Kong
Turning manufacturers into entrepreneurs
A brief history of Hong Kong innovation ecosystem
• 1997: After 155 years, Great-Britain retrocedes Hong Kong to
China, which keeps it as a “Special Administrative Region”
• 2001: the dotcom burst washes away the startup scene for the next
6-7 years, the city is still entrepreneurial, but not innovative as such
A brief history of Hong Kong innovation ecosystem
• 2009: HK’s first coworking space, Boot HK, is setup, after several events like
Startup Saturday gathered an embryo of a community
• 2011: Weekly events at Boot HK keeps the community growing, and new
coworking spaces (The Hive, Cocoon) open, as well as the first Hackerspace
(Dim Sum Lab), more focused on hardware
A brief history of Hong Kong innovation ecosystem
• 2011-2012: The first startups re-emerge from this community-driven environment, with
Makibox (crowdfunding & hardware), 8securities (Fintech) which raised 8M$
• 2013-2014: The government kicks in, open incubators (Science Park, Cyberport)
• 2014: The historical players of the ecosystem launch StartupHK, to sustain and manages
to attract attention from InvestHK, a gov agency who supports SMEs and int’l expansion
Manufacturers, bankers turn entrepreneurs
• Li Ka Shing, Asia’s richest man (retail, property development) is an early
investor in Facebook, Spotify, Summly, Siri, and Bitcoin-related apps
• Jonathan Buford comes from the manufacturing world, now runs Makibox,
onf of HK’s top startups
• Other popular founders come from the finance industry and startupify it
Online & tech landscape of Hong-Kong
Forums Social media Blogging
E-commerce Finance Gaming Apps

bottom: promising)

Honk Kong innovation
ecosystem today
Pros & Cons, Top Connectors & local best practices
Pros and cons of Hong Kong
innovation ecosystem
• High expertise in finance and bored bankers
make good new startupers in fintech + access
to bankers capital for insiders
• Cheap manufacturing prices both in HK and
nearby China
• Easiness of starting a business and getting a
visa, with no obligation to have HK residents
in capital or employees
• Community-driven ecosystem with true
dedication and hunger for success
• Entrepreneurial mindset
• Uncensored Internet, not so common in Asia,
and not the case in China
• Small market of 8M inhabitants, not really
connected to China (culturally, economically)
• No culture of risk from banks, which will not
support startups until 2 years of revenue can be
shown
• Lack of talent in specific areas, in particular
design and UX/UI
• English is an official language but not always
understood everywhere
• Not quite a gateway to China which has strong
rules on startup (capital requirement, licences…)
• 0.73% only of GDP dedicated to R&D
• Real estate prices 30% > New York
PROS CONS

Best practices of
HK innovation ecosystem
• A quarterly “Introduction to the HK startup ecosystem” talk, by Casey Lau,
founder of StartupHK, to get in touch with newcomers and update the
available resources for the community
Best practices of
HK innovation ecosystem
• StartupHK, a coffee shop and new umbrella name for the local scene (5000
members), which runs StartbaseHK, a crowdsourced directory plugged to
Crunchbase in the US (300 companies registered)
Best practices of
HK innovation ecosystem
• A reality show on startups on TVB, the biggest local channel, in Cantonese,
to educate local youth on entrepreneurship (“I am boss”)
What’s next for Hong Kong?
“Coopete” with neighboring Shenzhen: take advantage of low
costs of China with skills and financing of HK
Help Asian entrepreneurs bootstrap and relocate in HK, which
has huge benefits compared to other Asian countries (easier visa
than Singapore, easier setup of business than surrounding
countries, better and freer internet than in China, etc)
Open HKTech “embassies” in like-minded places
(Dubai, Singapore, London…) with learning tours to help local
startups scale in similar markets
