The UAE’s leading investment platform, Investopia Global, rocked investors and analysts in Hong Kong for the first time on 17 September, marking its debut to deepen UAE-Hong Kong investment ties through innovation, capital markets, and cross-border collaboration. Government and finance leaders were out in force, with Chief Executive John Lee and Paul M.P. Chan, alongside financial giants like HSBC, making this a high-profile event that MTR Lab is excited to join.
To mark this epic moment, MTR Lab is teaming up with Hub71 — our first strategic partner in UAE — to launch the Hub71 Startup Immersion Programme, propelling Hong Kong innovators on the digital silk road to high-growth potential. Ecosystem leaders Cyberport Hong Kong and the Hong Kong–Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park (HSITP) joined the event, underscoring a shared vision of unlocking the potential of cross‑boundary innovation. Their presence highlighted the collaborative momentum driving opportunities for portfolio companies as they expand into the Middle East and beyond.
The partnership reflects MTR Lab’s commitment to building global innovation ecosystems that accelerate growth and advance progress toward a smarter, greener future. It also broadens MTR Lab’s network, complementing established Asian ecosystem partners such as TusStar in China and CROSSBIE in Japan.
