The Greater Bay Area (GBA) is becoming a playground for Hong Kong’s next-gen innovators, blending ambition with national policy support to redefine regional entrepreneurship. Meet Tony Fung Yiu-tung, a 28-year-old who turned his startup dreams into reality through the GBA’s thriving ecosystem. 🌆
From Hong Kong to Nansha: A Startup Journey
Tony’s tech venture skyrocketed after joining Po Leung Kuk’s “StarAgent” program, which helped him launch a branch in Guangzhou’s Nansha district. “Low operational costs and streamlined policies here let us focus on growth,” he says, highlighting how cross-border collaboration fuels his team’s expansion. 💡
A Rising Tide of Innovation
Over 165,000 Hong Kong and Macao residents now work in Guangdong, while 6,500+ startups have blossomed across the region. Tony credits national strategies like the GBA development plan: “We’re riding a wave bigger than ourselves – it’s about contributing to the nation’s story.” 📈
