The internet and software sectors figured prominently in the awards program. “The two sectors are leading the technology innovation development in Hong Kong,” said Philip Law, lead partner of private equity for Deloitte China’s southern region.
Meanwhile, Hong Kong’s technology companies are showing a rising interest to expand their business in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area to tap the bigger market in the mainland, Law added.
A recent survey conducted by Deloitte showed that the Greater Bay Area acts as a launchpad for startups to expand into Chinese mainland markets and a critical platform to commercialize Hong Kong’s world-class innovations. About 33 percent of interviewed entrepreneurs have established a presence in the Greater Bay Area, and of those with a new presence, over 65 percent have expanded their respective businesses in Shenzhen.
