As the sole official knowledge partner of the Deloitte Hong Kong Technology Fast (HKTF) and Hong Kong Rising Star (HKRS) program, HKUST Business School was honored to celebrate the exceptional achievements of our city’s fast-growing, most innovative enterprises at the awards ceremony held in late January.
The program’s flagship report “Turning Innovations into Wealth: How to Fill the Commercialization Gap in Hong Kong” was released soon after the ceremony. It takes the pulse of Hong Kong’s I&T ecosystem by emphasizing its biggest strengths and addressing emerging challenges based on joint research by Deloitte and HKUST Business School.
Deloitte's Technology Fast Program ranks fast-growing tech companies based on their three-year revenue growth. It also recognizes HKRS companies, which have remarkable business growth but are too young for the main Tech Fast ranking. Rising Star Leadership companies, in addition to business growth, recognize companies that have demonstrated visionary leadership and breakthrough innovations. Tech Fast Female Awards celebrates the achievements of startups founded or cofounded by women.
