Funding

Vital Funding Empowers Innovation That Makes a Meaningful Impact in Our Community and Beyond.

If you’ve got an idea that could revolutionise any industry, why not share it with the world? For these startups, issues such as lack of business experience, industry know-how, grants, mentors and networks can mean that ideas will struggle to come to fruition. This is where we come in.

We help fast-track qualified startups to acquire government-backed business funding and maintain a healthy cash flow for sustainable business expansion. We also have an established and trusted investment platform that connects promising startups with world-renowned investors.

At HKSTP, we guide and support you as you navigate the intricate landscape of funding and investment opportunities for your business.

Government Funding

Whether you are a new startup or an established enterprise in Hong Kong, there is a variety of Government funding schemes available to support your growth and development. From startup funding to business funding initiatives, these schemes offer various scopes, amounts, and requirements tailored to meet the unique needs of different ventures.

The SME Link scheme offered by the Hong Kong Government is designed to help small and medium-sized businesses in Hong Kong with access to much-needed government grants and support. This also includes one-on-one consultations with SMEs for areas such as ESG, technology transformation, digitisation and cyber security as well as ideas on how to improve the long-term viability of their startup.
