With a view to attracting more venture capital (VC) funds to co-invest in local innovation and technology (I&T) startups and creating a more vibrant start-up ecosystem in Hong Kong, the Government has set up a HK$2 billion Innovation and Technology Venture Fund (ITVF) in 2017.

The ITVF will co-invest with selected VC funds (also known as Co-investment Partners (CPs)) in eligible local I&T startups. The CPs are responsible for recommending suitable investment targets to the Government for co-investments. As of end December 2021, the ITVF’s investment to financial technology (fintech) companies has amounted to over HK$36 million, attracting around HK$352 million of private investment.

This webinar invites speakers from the CPs, that has key investment sectors covering fintech, to share their valuable insights and views on what they would like interested fintech companies to know. The speakers will help audience better understand how the ITVF is one of the channels to help fintech companies in Hong Kong to scale and succeed.
