Celebrating a decade of innovation, the StartmeupHK Festival has evolved from a single flagship event in 2016 to a global platform connecting visionaries, founders, and investors from every corner of the world. Over the past ten years, the Festival has championed technology across industries, fostered international collaboration, and showcased Hong Kong’s dynamic role as a launchpad for startups and breakthrough ideas.
This year marks an exciting new chapter: for the first time, StartmeupHK Festival joins forces with Hong Kong FinTech Week for a special 10th-anniversary edition. By merging these two milestone events, we’re uniting the worlds of entrepreneurship and fintech, bringing together founders, innovators, investors, and industry leaders to explore the latest in AI, blockchain, healthtech, greentech, and beyond. This collaboration promises even greater opportunities for cross-sector dialogue, business growth, and global connections—setting the stage for the next decade of impact and inspiration in Hong Kong’s thriving innovation ecosystem.
