HKSTP has been providing comprehensive end-to-end support to help greentech innovators grow and scale up by joining forces with influential stakeholders from the community. The new GreenTech Hub brings together 16 partners from leading financial and business institutions, industrial associations, and renowned universities. This collaboration facilitates business opportunities, fosters knowledge exchange and best practices, and bridges financing gaps to expedite green technology. Additionally, these universities offer talent training, testing and application scenarios for greentech solutions, further accelerating the commercialisation of R&D outcomes.

The GreenTech Hub unites greentech companies to further drive growth and innovation across key technology sectors, including green fintech, green building, new energy, and smart city solutions. The hub also features a dedicated Green Space to showcase innovative greentech and sustainable solutions.

The day's events also featured a panel sharing session, joined by GreenTech Hub Partners and leading industry leaders, on the future of green technology and its integration into mainstream sectors.
