The Challenge will initially be remote / virtual. However, at least 8 companies will be invited to Hong Kong in August for a Roadshow (expenses covered) to engage with Corporate Partners and further develop potential pilot projects.

The Main Challenge is a broad theme challenge, inviting any technology solutions that address the Green Building to apply. 8 technology solutions will be chosen from the Main Challenge to the Hong Kong Roadshow to collaborate and further pilot projects with our Corporate Partners and Challenge Allies.

Sub-Challenges are specific use-cases put forward by our Corporate Partners. 1 technology solution will be chosen in each Sub-Challenge to join the Hong Kong Roadshow to collaborate and further pilot projects with their Corporate Partner.

Both the Main Challenge and Sub-Challenges have a single focus in creating tangible and measurable outcomes.

There is no application fee to the Hong Kong Green Tech Challenge. Expenses such as flights and accommodation will be covered for selected companies invited to the Hong Kong Roadshow as part of the program.

Companies applying should have an existing product / solution that have been tried, tested, and ideally commercially deployed. Solutions should be scalable and compatible across borders, markets, and ecosystems. Teams should be well-established technically and commercially. Companies should be financially sound and ready to deploy pilot projects with Corporate Partners.

Applicants should be key decision makers of the company.

No. The selected companies will receive an unique opportunity to engage with our Corporate Partners and Challenge Allies. The outcome of this process might very well be implemented in our partners’ operations. We believe this is an extremely attractive business opportunity for an innovative company that is ready to scale.

Selected companies will also have a sponsored trip to Hong Kong for the Hong Kong Roadshow to facilitate face to face meetings with your matched Corporate Partner / Challenge Ally.

If you are one of the selected companies invited to join the Hong Kong Roadshow, you will be required to travel to Hong Kong. You can find details on visa requirements for travellers coming to Hong Kong SAR here.

We always strive to create an environment where sharing business models and plans are protected. That said, we encourage our participants to have the necessary legal documents (such as NDAs) in place. We will help facilitate the signing process. During investment and partnership negotiations, the participating companies have full discretion regarding the information they share and the business agreements the ultimately make.
