Eric Chan, Chief Public Mission Officer of Cyberport, said, "Hong Kong's innovation and technology sector is booming, and its start-ups continue to perform exceptionally well. This has not gone unnoticed by the international community. Tatler Gen.T’s recognition towards Cyberport’s start-ups is a strong affirmation for Cyberport’s dedication to the cultivation of talents and start-ups, and speaks to the depth and breadth of Hong Kong's start-up community. Hong Kong is forging ahead to become an international innovation and technology hub. As Hong Kong's innovation and technology flagship, Cyberport will continue to support and promote the development of the I&T sector, thereby generating new impetus for Hong Kong's economy."
