Hong Kong is extending its invitation to Thai start-ups to explore opportunities for growth in the international market, including mainland China, as part of its commitment to maintaining its status as a trusted stepping stone for local businesses worldwide. InvestHK director-general Alpha Lau praised Thai start-ups' diverse innovations in fintech, e-commerce, supply chain management, logtech, information, computer and technology, education and learning, and data analytics. The Hong Kong government's support program through Science Park and Cyberport is also being highlighted. Despite external challenges, the number of start-ups and employees reached a new high in 2023, with 4,257 start-ups employing 16,453 people. Lau emphasized that Hong Kong's strong entrepreneurial culture and high staff productivity encourage start-ups to use the Singapore Aerospace Port (SAR) as a base for their operations to access the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the rest of Asia. Thailand's traditional industries, such as consumer products, fashion, food and beverages, and retail, are still popular in the Hong Kong market. (ICE BANGKOK)
