Skyscrapers aren’t the only thing rising in Shenzhen’s Qianhai district – so are the ambitions of young Hong Kong entrepreneurs. 🌆 This buzzing economic hub, dubbed the 'testing ground for cross-border innovation,' has become a launchpad for big ideas, powered by startup-friendly policies and a bridge between mainland and Hong Kong resources.
Meet 26-year-old Maya Chan, co-founder of a green tech startup: 'In Qianhai, I can access talent from both sides of the Pearl River Delta. The incubators here helped us secure funding faster than I’d ever imagined.' Her team develops AI-powered recycling systems, part of Qianhai’s push to support sustainability ventures.
Meanwhile, 28-year-old Jason Wong turned his passion for e-sports into a gaming hardware business: 'The tax breaks? Game-changing. But what really leveled us up was connecting with manufacturers in Shenzhen’s tech belt.' 🤖
