Carbonless has joined forces with the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation to launch the Hong Kong Green Tech Challenge, designed to become a collaborative platform for key stakeholders in the city. Our first initiative is dedicated to the theme of Green Buildings.
By engaging leading technology companies to address industry-specific challenges, we are here to catalyse innovation, accelerate the adoption of green technologies, and drive the transformation towards a more sustainable built environment.
Hong Kong is already well known to the world as an unrivalled international gateway to the Greater Bay Area, Greater China and all Asia. The city is now also ready and well positioned to become a global hub for green technology and finance.
As the Real Estate and Construction industry is a cornerstone of Hong Kong’s economy and also a critical piece of the city’s decarbonisation puzzle, we dedicated the first Hong Kong Green Tech Challenge to the sector with the Green Building edition.
As announced in Hong Kong Climate Plan 2050, the city committed to achieving carbon neutrality before 2050. This is the target and goal that our Challenge is designed to support and turn into an opportunity for innovation, partnerships and investment.
Buildings account for approximately 90% of Hong Kong’s total electricity consumption, and over 60% of the city’s carbon emissions arise from electricity generation for buildings.
Carbonless is a rapidly growing innovation and investment platform specialised on technology solutions that help decarbonise Asia. We bring together capital, mature startups, enterprises and government entitites to help build a robust regional carbontech ecosystem, facilitate growth and reach carbon targets on a cleanear future.
Our team and advisory community bring experience across geographies from Fortune 500 corporate leadership roles in M&A, investment and carbon trading functions, whilst others have grown technology businesses across borders and exited startups.
We are inviting all committed stakeholders in the Hong Kong real estate and construction ecosystem to join us as a partner of the Hong Kong Green Tech Challenge. Get in touch and let’s decarbonise Hong Kong and catalyse the green tech ecosystem together.
