Selected start-ups will have at least five bespoke business meetings with industry partners, five workshops on market dynamics and regulation, and two mentoring sessions with investors.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The programme also includes a week-long immersive trip to Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Guangzhou, as well as support with company registration and access to Cyberport\u2019s CCMF or CIP funding schemes.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who can apply<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Around 20 start-ups will be accepted, with priority given to those working in AI and deep tech. The programme is open to companies from all over the world, provided they are not already based in Hong Kong or the GBA. Companies in the pre-Series A or Series A stage with clear growth plans will be given priority, but projects at the minimum viable product (MVP) stage may also apply.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ideas in the very early stages of development, which have not yet been tested in the market, are less likely to be selected, although exceptions may be made for artificial intelligence or health tech projects with exceptional potential.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Global network of partners<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GUIDE and Gobi Partners have built a network of partner organisations that includes Hub71 in the Middle East, VentureLab and YSpace in North America, Cross Capital in Japan, Dcamp in Korea, Cradle Fund, Antler VC and Endeavor in Southeast Asia, as well as Astana Hub and IT Park Uzbekistan in Central Asia, with whom Gobi signed a Memorandum of Understanding during an official visit.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cyberport, Hong Kong\u2019s leading digital community, is the key partner and will host the start-ups at the Venture Capital Forum in November. GUIDE, launched three years ago as an independent division, coordinates pro bono initiatives and collaborates with governments and public institutions, ensuring neutrality with regard to Gobi\u2019s investment activities. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Hong Kong and the GBA<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Greater Bay Area has a population of over 70 million and a GDP exceeding $1.9 trillion. Shenzhen and Guangzhou are hubs for advanced manufacturing and innovation, whilst Hong Kong offers international connectivity, financial infrastructure and government support. For AI and deep tech start-ups, the region offers a unique combination of supply chains, venture capital and public incentives.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The deadline for applications is the end of June. The programme will run for six months, from mid-July to December, featuring two \u2018fly-in\u2019 events (in July and November) and an immersive trip to the GBA. Applications can be submitted via the form available <a href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/Wzx3ZGoS678b2XVB6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">at this link<\/a> in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guide.works\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">programme presentation<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Global-to-GBA reflects Hong Kong\u2019s ambition to position itself as a gateway for international start-ups into China\u2019s innovation ecosystem, offering a structured pathway for growth in one of the world\u2019s most dynamic markets (photo by the author).<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Note for reader: This article is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution\u2013NoDerivatives 4.0 International
