Hong Kong has been placing an increasing focus on its regtech development as regtech plays a prominent role in the future of regulatory compliance. Talent is an essential element for Hong Kong’s regtech sector to flourish. HKUST Business School recently published two reports on the regtech development in Hong Kong which summarizes the challenges and recommendations for the regtech sector. Talent is identified as one of the biggest challenges.
To further explore the talent development opportunities for the healthy growth of Hong Kong’s regtech sector, we are organizing a seminar, Regtech Industry Dialogue: Talent as the Fuel for Growth on 24 February 2023. Please join our discussion on-site and explore possible solutions to tackle the talent shortage and close the talent gap, with immediate actions and long-term strategy.
