我們為何從香港出發:亞洲對初創科企的低調優勢

我們為何從香港出發:亞洲對初創科企的低調優勢

當人們聽到「亞洲科技公司」時,通常會想到新加坡。這個直覺可以理解,而且對很多公司來說是正確答案。但對某些跨醫療健康、餐飲酒店、旅遊、網站品質和生產力工具的公司而言,香港提供了一組更微妙也更有用的優勢。

香港的價值不在於它最吵,而在於它連接得最好。 它把國際金融、粵港澳大灣區、成熟法律制度、物流能力和區域人才網絡放在同一個小而高密度的城市裏。

基礎設施論點

香港的基礎設施對小型科技公司非常實際。公司成立、銀行、法律文件、跨境服務、國際付款和專業服務都相對成熟。對需要同時面向香港、東南亞和全球市場的團隊而言,這種可預測性很有價值。

Cyberport 與支援生態

香港的創科支援並不只是一個口號。Cyberport、政府資助計劃和研發扣稅安排,為早期公司提供了實際資源。這些資源不能替代產品市場契合,但能減少早期團隊在基礎設施上的摩擦。

政府資助與研發誘因

對需要長期研發的產品來說,資助與扣稅可以改變現金流曲線。醫療健康、AI、網站品質和資料基礎設施都不是一週能完成的領域。香港的制度讓這類工作更容易被規劃,而不只是被追逐。

人才與技能

香港的人才市場很國際化,也很務實。這裏的人熟悉跨境商業、多語言環境和高服務標準。對 Glia 這類跨多個垂直行業建立工具的公司而言,這種混合背景比單一技術中心更有用。

與新加坡的誠實比較

新加坡是強大的科技和金融中心。它在許多方面更乾淨、更集中、更容易被外界理解。香港的優勢則較不整齊:更靠近中國南部供應鏈、更貼近大灣區、更具交易密度,也更適合某些以區域連接為核心的公司。

為何 Glia 選擇香港

Glia 是一家香港註冊公司,並在泰國設有開發據點。我們選擇香港,不是因為它是唯一答案,而是因為它最符合我們的產品組合:醫療健康需要信任,餐飲酒店需要本地理解,網站品質和 AEO 需要國際視野,而香港剛好把這些條件放在同一個地方。

常見問題

常見問題

Is Hong Kong still competitive as a tech hub after recent years?
The infrastructure evidence says yes. The government has significantly increased technology funding, Cyberport has expanded to over 2,300 companies, the AI Supercomputing Centre launched in January 2026, and the city's four globally ranked CS programmes continue to produce strong engineering talent. The startup count reached 4,694 in 2025, a 10 per cent year-over-year increase. The narrative of decline is not supported by the operational reality.
What grants are available for Hong Kong tech startups?
Several programmes are active in 2026. The Technology Voucher Programme provides up to HKD 600,000 for technology adoption. The Enterprise Support Scheme offers up to HKD 10 million for in-house R&D with no equity taken and no government recoupment. The Cyberport Creative Micro Fund provides HKD 100,000 in pre-incubation seed funding. The enhanced R&D tax deduction (300 per cent on the first HKD 2 million, 200 per cent above) further reduces the effective cost of development work.
How does Hong Kong's tax regime compare to Singapore for startups?
Hong Kong's corporate tax is 8.25 per cent on the first HKD 2 million of assessable profits, rising to 16.5 per cent thereafter. There is no GST, no capital gains tax, and no dividend tax. Singapore's headline rate is 17 per cent with a 9 per cent GST, though newly incorporated companies receive a 75 per cent exemption on their first S$100,000 of chargeable income for three years. Effective rates are comparable in the early years; Hong Kong's advantage widens as revenue grows and the absence of GST compounds.
Is it difficult to hire engineers in Hong Kong?
Engineering talent exists and is well-trained, but it competes with banking and finance for compensation. A full-stack developer in Hong Kong earns a median of HK$1,110,000 annually, and quantitative roles at the technology-finance boundary command significantly more. Startups compete on equity, autonomy, and the nature of the work rather than on salary alone. The university pipeline from HKU, HKUST, CUHK, and PolyU is strong, and the multilingual workforce is a genuine advantage for companies building across language boundaries.
