The Skolkovo Foundation will bring 8 startups to participate in the road show in Hong Kong and Mainland China. All the companies will show their innovative developments during the International ICT Expo, which will take place on 13-16 April 2014 at Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
The management team of Skolkovo and the startups will visit Shenzhen Technopark, Cyberport IT Park, meet with the representatives of Invest Hong Kong, Commission for Innovation and Technology of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and exchange expertise with Hong Kong Science and Technology Park. The resident companies of Skolkovo will have several business matching meetings with the Chinese startups and some of the Russian startups already expressed their wish to establish their presence in China.
“We see China, including Hong Kong, as strategic partners for innovation, technology, entrepreneurship, scientific research and investment opportunities. For example, the city’s robust ICT infrastructure, underpinned by the Government’s dedication to developing its innovation and technology industry, paired with its close economic relationship with Mainland China makes Hong Kong a premier location for a strategic ICT hub.” – said Victor Vekselberg, President of Skolkovo Foundation. “We believe that our bilateral scientific and technological collaboration will result in a synergistic effect that will support outstanding achievements in science, technology and innovation for all parties.”
