**Mid- to late-stage startups under 10 years old, focused on Digital Health Tech, FinTech, or GreenTech, and registered as businesses with plans to expand R&D or operations to Hong Kong and/or the Greater Bay Area (GBA), are eligible for EPIC.
Albert Wong, CEO of HKSTP, expresses pride in EPIC’s success, “Hong Kong is at the forefront of global innovation, where we engage entrepreneurs in addressing the imperative, and EPIC being the origin of many world-first technologies, HKSTP will continue offering haven for startup resources to intersect, and invites like-minded partners to join us on the transformative journey.”
Stepping up from EPIC 2024 with 603 entries from 47 economies, the competition this year aims to set its sights even higher. Startups will participate in online regional pitch across North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific (APAC) in July, and finalists will land in Hong Kong in November, where EPIC Week and the Grand Finale take place, as a more comprehensive and enriching experience is set to introduce highlights including:
- EPIC Week: A week-long series of events leading up to the Grand Finale, including business and investment matching, networking sessions, and industry tours, providing startups with deeper insights into Hong Kong’s vibrant I&T ecosystem.
- Tech Spotlight: An exclusive opportunity for selected startups to present their solutions directly to investors and corporate leaders, facilitating immediate feedback and potential collaborations.
- GBA Exploration: Guided visits and sessions focused on unlocking business opportunities within the GBA, enabling startups to understand and tap into this rapidly growing market.
