The Invest Hong Kong (InvestHK) seminar - Meeting Our Leading VCs in Hong Kong - concluded today (July 10), gathering over 200 fintech enterprise founders, venture capital (VC) leaders and industry experts to help inject new vitality into the future prosperity of Hong Kong's fintech ecosystem.
InvestHK has been linking global fintech enterprises with local and international capital resources. Hong Kong's capital environment has shown strong vitality and new opportunities recently. The Government is providing public funding support and introducing measures to accelerate the development of fintech and related areas such as Web3 and AI. Moreover, as of the end of June 2025, the investment amount brought by the New Capital Investment Entrant Scheme into Hong Kong is expected to be over HK$46.4 billion, reinforcing Hong Kong's standing as a pre-eminent international investment hub.
For private capital, Hong Kong's advantages are becoming increasingly prominent. Hong Kong has the second-largest capital pool in the Asia-Pacific region, after only the Mainland, with managed private equity funds over US$233.9 billion as of the first half of 2024. As the largest hedge fund centre and cross-border wealth management centre in Asia, Hong Kong continues to attract global capital. Since the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government issued the Policy Statement on Developing Family Office Businesses in Hong Kong, the family office business has developed rapidly. There are more than 2 700 single-family offices operating in Hong Kong, and the scale of managed assets continues to rise. New listing volumes on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong jumped around eight times to US$14 billion in the first half of 2025, fully demonstrating the attractiveness of Hong Kong's financial market.
This seminar created a valuable opportunity for start-ups and growing enterprises to connect with well-known VC leaders. At the seminar, experienced investors shared market patterns and trends in Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and other markets. For VCs, through the Global Fast Track programme and the invitation-only online business matching platform Fast-Track Connect, they have accelerated access to high-quality deal flows and strengthened strategic investment networks.
Director of MindWorks Capital Mr Jeffrey Wu highlighted Hong Kong's unique advantages for fintech startups, namely a transparent regulatory regime, deep offshore capital markets, and a trusted legal system, which make it an ideal springboard for regional and global expansion. Founding Partner of Wings Capital Ventures Mr Jonathan Wu said that as connectivity between Mainland and Hong Kong continues to accelerate, demand for cross-boundary financial services is growing at a remarkable pace. The Mainland's strengths, including its abundant software development resources and rapid innovation cycles paired with Hong Kong's international market and diverse application scenarios, create a promising synergy.
The Managing Partner of 01Fintech Limited, Mr Kenny Man, emphasised that the Southeast Asian market has huge potential, and fintech enterprises should seize the opportunity to expand their business there. He also noted that the event provided valuable exposure to high-potential fintech innovations, reinforcing Hong Kong's role as a global fintech hub with rich cross-border opportunities. These insights provide valuable reference for 01Fintech's investment strategy in the region. Founding General Partner of Transcend Capital Partners Ms Winnie Leung also mentioned that Hong Kong is truly where East meets West, offering a vibrant fusion of cultures and business opportunities. With a substantial amount of capital available, it stands as an ideal hub for exciting venture capital projects.
In addition, the Head of FinTech of Cyberport, Mr Victor Yim, shared the experiences and achievements of Cyberport in supporting fintech and Web3 enterprises. The Senior Manager, New Ventures Development of Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTPC), Ms Josephine Chan, introduced the innovative resources and development platforms provided by HKSTPC for enterprises.
The Global Head of Financial Services, FinTech & Sustainability at InvestHK, Mr King Leung, concluded, "This seminar has not only built a bridge for exchanges and co-operation among Hong Kong's fintech industry, it has also brought new impetus to shape the global fintech funding landscape. Through seminars like this, enterprises and investors can conduct in-depth exchanges, jointly seize market opportunities, and achieve mutual benefits and win-win results. This promotes the development of the fintech industry and further consolidates Hong Kong's leading position in the global fintech field. We will continue to organise such high-quality activities, both online and offline, to contribute to the development of the industry."
