Sanderson at Tech Mission to Hong Kong 2024: Our Key Takeaways

Posted November 5, 2024

At the end of October this year Sanderson were delighted to once again collaborate with Tech West England Advocates and our colleagues at Sanderson iKas Hong Kong to sponsor Tech Mission to Hong Kong for 2024.

This fantastic event takes place every year and offers founders and scale-ups in the technology industry an unrivalled insight into the tech ecosystem in Hong Kong as a potential destination to set up their business.

Attendees enjoy a jam-packed programme from exploring the vibrant city, meeting with Hong Kong accelerators and incubators as well as the opportunity to pitch at the official ‘UK Tech Founder Showcase Event’ as part of the StartmeupHK Festival.

Adam Kennedy, Country Director for Sanderson i-Kas shared his key takeaways from the week and this year’s mission:

It has been fantastic to once again get involved with this Mission – the event really is the perfect opportunity to showcase the scale, diversity and quality of the tech community here in Hong Kong. And this year’s Tech Mission was no different! We have been able to show once again that Hong Kong really is pushing the boundary on being the biggest research and innovation hub in Asia, and this year’s delegates were incredibly impressed with all the city had to offer, not just the tech ecosystem, and many are now exploring setting up their businesses here.

The week was hard work for all and packed full of activities and networking, but also lots of fun with some great new connections made. We’re thrilled that it looks like we’ll be seeing strong partnerships forming with some of the businesses looking to set up here, and Sanderson can’t wait to work with them to assist in setting up their teams and filling talent gaps as they grow here.”

We can’t wait to see what next year might bring – so watch this space!
