Today, Hong Kong’s traditional strengths on IP-protection, financial services and connectivity are coupled with economic integration with Mainland China which makes Hong Kong the ideal centre in Asia to tap into its huge business potential, particularly in China. Locating product development and customerisation, incl. productification and pilot production in Hong Kong would be a viable alternative for Danish and Swedish companies in sectors where seed money is readily available but where ramping up to full-scale production requires big investment and market support.

such as:
● Life science & biotechnology
● Renewable energy & environmental services
