I am spending today at the Hong Kong Science Parks in Shatun.
This is a cluster of 200 technology companies based in 20 state of the art buildings. A total of HK 12 billion (US$ 1.5 billion) has been allocated to the HKSP Project in 3 Phases. That's some Government investment.
The mix of on site services appear to be more extensive than I have experienced before. The availability of a number of Technology Support Laboratories would certainly help start up and early stage companies. A series of incubation programmes for technology and design start-ups exist. There are a range of funding packages available to incubatees. Oh, for some of this in Tauranga!
Tonight, it's back to Hong Kong International and a 13 hour flight to London. More time to reflect. What is clear from even such a short visit is the scale of potential.....and the dangers of risk. Finding the right partners and networks is key to launching successfully in North Asia.
I will be back.
