In the past two weeks, nine Austrian health tech and biotech innovators went through the digital GIN GO HONG KONG 2021 program. This digital acceleration program for Austrian later-stage startups aims to internationalize to Asia (especially to Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area). In various briefing and mentoring sessions, representatives from the nine innovators received valuable insights into the Hong Kong, Greater Bay and Asian markets. They had the opportunity to verify if their solutions are ready for the Asian market.
The Go Hong Kong 2021 program concluded with the “Austrian – Hong Kong Startup Nite” on Thursday, Sep. 30, at WLAB Quarry Bay where the innovators were able to pitch their products and services to potential investors and business partners.
Despite the current travel restrictions, Hong Kong and its Startup ecosystem presented itself in the best light. The ecosystem connectors impressed the Austrian startups with curiosity and readiness to give feedback and to make connections.
This programme was organized by ADVANTAGE AUSTRIA Hong Kong and the Austrian Global Incubator Network GIN.
A big thank you also goes to our partners the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, InvestHK, the law firm Ravenscroft & Schmierer, the accelerator BRINC, WHub, The Do and Opharmic Technology for their support.
