Overview
Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) is collaborating with Our Hong Kong Foundation (OHKF) to organise a start-up programme namely “Start-up Express”. The programme targets start-ups with products or services suitable for mass consumer market, as well as with strong desire to enter the Chinese mainland market, or/and other Asian markets. Through a series of capability building, mentoring sessions and marketing activities, the programme offers start-ups with unique opportunities to learn, to grow and to connect.
The debut programme selected 10 winners at HKTDC Entrepreneur Day in May 2018. Since then the winners have exposed themselves to vigorous marketing activities and earned attention from investors, media and potential partners. We are delighted to announce that Start-up Express 2019 application is now open!

“Start-up Express gave us the opportunity to meet with Mr Joe Lee, Co-founder of Kuaidi Dache and he successfully became one of the Board Members of the company. With HKTDC's strong marketing platform, our products were swiftly promoted to not only Hong Kong but international markets including Japan and beyond. Good friendships with other start-ups were built as we may share entrepreneurial difficulties and experiences. We had the opportunities of participating in overseas trade shows, such as the recent Mobile World Congress in Spain, which was a great opportunity to get in touch with global brands, the latest technology and industry knowledge.”
