Can A Startup Culture Take Hold in Hong Kong?
Every major market in the world is trying to figure out what makes the Silicon Valley model work.
It's not easy to have that special blend of talent, money, and motivation to succeed all in one place. London is making a run for it with Silicon Roundabout, even with a China connection. See Silicon Dragon London 2013.
I see the beginnings of a startup hub happening in Hong Kong -- a good thing since the city has seemed destined to be left behind by the high energy found in the tech clusters of Beijing and Shanghai.
It can be difficult to name a successful tech startup from Hong Kong, home to real estate tycoons and investment bankers. But innovations from all kinds of startups -- mobile gaming, clean energy, education, healthcare -- are bubbling up.
Yat Siu (see photo), founder of digital consumer entertainment service Outblaze, is one of the stars.
Read Silicon Asia beat, Hong Kong, at Forbes.
We'll see how far Hong Kong can go with its new startup agenda, April 18, at Cyberport.
