Empowering portfolio companies— from capital matching to global expansion

She said HKIC will help portfolio companies connect with different sources of capital, customers, and application scenarios. She also mentioned that among its investment projects, one company was listed on the Hong Kong stock market at the end of last year, and HKIC helped the company connect with many overseas customers. Its product and services are now sold in more than 90 regions worldwide. At the same time, after HKIC’s due diligence on the investment project, other funding sources will also conduct their own reviews, forming mutual endorsements.

She added that when HKIC invests, it depends on the venture capital sectors. Recently, she visited Shanghai and Hainan respectively, focusing on innovative companies there with high growth and high impact—especially in areas such as artificial intelligence (AI), life sciences technology, and green energy. In addition, the investment portfolio includes companies from Hainan, and many projects are also driven by cooperation among different cities to develop industries.
