InvestHK Survey on Innovation-Driven Entrepreneurship Ecosystem in Hong Kong
“Make your voice heard if you want to help build Hong Kong’s innovation-driven entrepreneurship ecosystem! We would like to invite your participation in a survey on Hong Kong’s Startup Community commissioned by InvestHK. Respondents who complete this survey on or before 24 Jan 2014 will each receive a HK$100 gift voucher or EY’s donation of HK$100 on behalf of the respondent to UNICEF. Respondents can also enter into a lucky draw to win an Apple iPad Air.
InvestHK of the HKSAR Government has commissioned Ernst & Young (EY) to conduct a study on the innovation-driven entrepreneurship ecosystem in Hong Kong. The study aims to better understand the competitiveness and positioning of Hong Kong in the world of startup hubs and the economic benefits of startups to Hong Kong; and to put forward recommendations on how to make Hong Kong a leading hub for innovative and entrepreneurial talents.
The InvestHK study defines a startup as an innovation-driven and scalable business pursuing global opportunities with high impact and growth potential – from ideation stage to growth stage. This survey aims specifically to understand the profile of the startup community in Hong Kong and obtain views on how we can grow a more innovation-driven entrepreneurship ecosystem. If you fall under the definition of a startup in this study, we would appreciate your taking 10 minutes of your time to complete the survey via this link. Thanks!”
