New tech website aims to connect Hong Kong’s researchers with investors in mainland China

Hong Kong has launched a new tech website aimed at monetising local research successes as part of its initiative to boost innovation, as the minister in charge called on academics and industries to use the platform to connect with investors in mainland China.
The website launched by the Innovation and Technology Commission will showcase a collection of 360 pieces of work from six local universities and research houses, with an aim to “facilitate commercialisation and technology transfer to the industry”.
Sun said the website would act as a three-way bridge connecting local universities, research institutions and the industry, helping them further develop their strategy while monetising the results.
He also appealed to investors on the mainland to seize the opportunity to learn more about what the city had to offer.
