Technology is changing the game for traditional business models. Whether it’s streamlining logistics or creating personalized customer experiences, tech innovation is making businesses more efficient, scalable, and ready for massive growth. In this exciting environment, the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) is playing a key role. In fact, HKSTP is driving innovation and supporting businesses in their transformation journey. Through its Elite Programme, HKSTP helps fast-growing tech ventures scale. It provides the tools, resources, and support they need to launch impactful, market-ready solutions with global potential.

To highlight the achievements of its Elite companies, HKSTP hosted the Elite Global Inno Day on 14 November. Over 200 partners and investors joined the event. 17 of the Elite companies participated in the Elite Innovation Pitch. They presented their cutting-edge technological innovations and business strategies to corporate partners, potential investors and channel partners. It showcased HKSTP’s commitment to building a dynamic innovation ecosystem in Hong Kong, including extensive support for the portfolio companies. As a result, it sparked collaborations that push the boundaries of technology and drive real-world change.

Catalysing transformation with HKSTP’s Elite Programme

HKSTP’s Elite Programme has been a game-changer for high-growth tech startups, acting as a springboard to help them reach their full potential. Launched in 2019, the HKSTP Elite Programme has supported a total of 42 companies in expanding beyond Hong Kong, helping them become unicorns and public-listed companies. By offering everything from top-notch infrastructure and funding to global connections and talent support, the programme gives these ambitious ventures the tools they need to thrive while building bridges for international collaboration.

Eric Or, Acting Chief Corporate Development Officer of HKSTP, said, “As the largest innovation and technology (I&T) ecosystem in Hong Kong, HKSTP continues to foster the success of innovation-driven tech ventures through our Elite Programme.” The programme is helping them thrive, grow, and, ultimately, achieve their global ambitions, generate significant global impact, and attract international talent to Hong Kong. This also reinforces Hong Kong’s status as a global I&T and talent hub.

Today, the 24 active Elite companies boast a combined valuation of USD 2.67 billion, with a global presence spanning 16 markets across six continents. Further, 11 of them are now “centaurs,” with each generating at least USD 100 million in annual recurring revenue. The journey of three of these companies, Spaceship, Jumppoint, and PressLogic, showcase how HKSTP’s Elite Programme is catalysing business transformation.

Spaceship: Simplifying global logistics and empowering e-commerce 

“Our mission is to disrupt and simplify the e-commerce merchants’ shipping experience. Whether they are small businesses or global enterprises, we provide a one-stop solution for logistics,” shared Spaceship co-founder Chilam Lam. Spaceship began in 2020, initially focusing on personal shipping services. Over the years, the company has evolved to meet the needs of e-commerce merchants by providing a platform that consolidates logistics operations. They offer standardized features globally, but they also localize based on client needs.

Spaceship’s strength lies in its deep integration with popular e-commerce platforms such as Shopify, Magento, and Bigcommerce. Through Spaceship’s SaaS solution, businesses can automate logistics processes, customise shipping rules, and manage real-time data across channels. Participation in the HKSTP Elite Programme has been instrumental in Spaceship’s growth. The programme’s funding and resources enabled the company to accelerate R&D for proprietary technologies. With the programme’s support, Spaceship enhanced its ability to offer tailored, scalable solutions to meet the diverse needs of its clients.

Chilam explained how the programme facilitated globalisation efforts: “We didn’t have a presence or connections in many regions. The Elite Programme helped us establish relationships in areas like Singapore, China, and the U.S., speeding up our ability to launch and scale.” Spaceship is now poised to expand its fulfilment network to over 30 countries by 2025, continuing its mission to simplify logistics for businesses of all sizes.

Jumppoint: Revolutionising logistics with advanced technology 

Similarly, the Elite Programme accelerated Jumppoint’s rapid growth. Founded in 2020 by Samson Ho, the company’s innovative approach connects logistics services providers like driver partners, airline partners, cross-border trucking partners, and warehouse partners. As a result, it enables seamless global warehousing and delivery for businesses of all sizes. “Our mission is to lower the logistics cost for e-commerce and supply chain merchants, so everyone can sell products easily to the world at a very low cost,” said Ho during a recent interview. Jumppoint is a trailblazer in the asset-light logistics industry, with a sharp focus on cross-border e-commerce.

HKSTP Elite Programme has helped the company strengthen its technological infrastructure and forge strategic partnerships with investors, clients, and ecosystem partners. Through the programme, Jumppoint has enhanced its ability to address emerging trends in global supply chains. “The Elite Programme has been instrumental in connecting us with venture capital, government authorities, and other tech startups,” said Ho. “It’s not just about funding; it’s about creating an ecosystem where businesses like ours can thrive by working together.”

Ho further noted that they see growing opportunities in emerging markets like Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and South America. Jumppoint’s innovative approach, combined with the support of HKSTP’s Elite Programme, positions it as a leader in logistics technology. With its ability to adapt to market trends and a strong commitment to sustainability, Jumppoint is set to redefine cross-border e-commerce logistics in Asia and beyond. 

PressLogic: Make Marketing Great Again through social media, AI, and data

HKSTP’s Elite Programme doesn’t just support pioneers in logistics. Another company that’s part of its programme is PressLogic. It stands at the forefront of the global ad-tech ecosystem, combining cutting-edge social media strategies, artificial intelligence (AI), and advanced data analytics to empower brands worldwide. With a network of over 14 million social media followers, PressLogic has become a trusted partner for over 500 brands. These brands range from beauty and FMCG to banking and finance, F&B to telecommunications, and technology to government sectors.

“Our ecosystem integrates diverse dimensions of ad-tech, creating a seamless platform for content marketing, social listening, and AI-driven insights,” said Founder and CEO Ryan Cheung. The company has been able to reduce client costs by up to 70% while achieving impressive campaign results.  This included generating $50 million in sales for a property client. This focus on AI innovation ensures that PressLogic remains ahead of the curve in the rapidly evolving ad-tech landscape.

The HKSTP Elite Programme has played a pivotal role in PressLogic’s continued growth and global expansion. “The Elite Programme has significantly enhanced our profile, connecting us with strategic partners and providing funding opportunities,” shared Cheung. Recently, the company secured USD$5 million funding with the participation of HKSTP Capital. This allowed it to scale its ad-tech solutions and diversify its offerings. PressLogic is now focusing on strengthening its presence in markets like Singapore while exploring opportunities in Europe and the U.S. “With HKSTP’s support, we are confident in our vision to become a top-tier ad-tech player in Asia and beyond,” Cheung stated.

Cultivating a thriving tech talent ecosystem in Hong Kong

The success of HKSTP’s Elite Programme highlights the organisation’s dedication to building a vibrant ecosystem where technology, talent, and innovation come together. By providing top-notch support—like funding, infrastructure, and strategic partnerships—HKSTP helps high-growth tech companies scale up while boosting Hong Kong’s reputation as a global innovation hub. And it’s easy to see HKSTP’s impact through the stories of companies like Spaceship, Jumppoint, and PressLogic.

Moreover, 12 Elite companies are led by multinational management teams, and all Elite companies have committed to creating over 1,200 job opportunities in Hong Kong during the 3-year programme period. Looking ahead, HKSTP is all about making Hong Kong a go-to destination for global innovation. By backing companies that are shaping the future with transformative solutions, HKSTP is paving the way for a tech-driven world that’s more sustainable and connected. The organisation remains committed to attracting top talent and fostering partnerships that blend local expertise with global opportunities, creating a future where technology truly enhances lives.

Generative AI (GenAI) is transforming industries globally, and ASEAN is no exception. 

With startups leveraging GenAI to enhance productivity, revolutionise healthcare, and redefine customer engagement, the region is poised to become a hub for AI innovation. 

Key sectors such as productivity tools, healthcare, financial services, and education are leading this wave of transformation, creating significant opportunities for startups, enterprises, and investors.

Productivity and business solutions: The backbone of ASEAN’s GenAI ecosystem

Productivity tools are the cornerstone of ASEAN’s GenAI adoption, comprising 26 per cent of all startups surveyed in the ASEAN GenAI Startup Report 2024. These solutions enhance operational efficiency, automate repetitive tasks, and enable smarter business decision-making.

Startups like Singapore-based Kroolo epitomise this trend. Kroolo offers AI-driven project management and workflow automation tools, streamlining team collaboration and boosting productivity. 

Similarly, Malaysia’s Shieldbase uses GenAI to provide secure enterprise search and workflow automation, ensuring data privacy while improving business operations.

These innovations are particularly impactful in ASEAN, where small and medium enterprises (SMEs) form the backbone of the economy. By adopting GenAI-powered productivity tools, SMEs can compete more effectively in the global market, overcoming constraints such as limited resources and high operational costs.

However, challenges remain. Thin productivity gains in ASEAN compared to developed markets, driven by lower workforce salaries, make it difficult for some enterprises to justify replacing manual workflows with AI-based solutions. Despite this, the demand for 

AI tools tailored to local needs ensures continued growth in this sector.

Healthcare and wellness: Personalising care and improving outcomes

Healthcare is another key sector for GenAI in ASEAN, accounting for 13 per cent of startups. The region’s unique challenges, such as limited access to medical services in rural areas, drive the adoption of AI solutions to improve healthcare delivery.

Also Read: The Gen AI evolution and Indonesia’s path to economic transformation

Startups like Thailand’s Meticuly are at the forefront, using GenAI to design personalised medical implants that enhance surgical outcomes. In Singapore, KeyReply provides AI-powered virtual assistants that automate healthcare workflows and enable personalised patient care.

These solutions demonstrate the potential of GenAI to address critical healthcare gaps, such as improving diagnostic accuracy, streamlining administrative tasks, and enhancing patient engagement.

GenAI also empowers telemedicine innovations, non-invasive health monitoring, and caregiver support. These advancements are particularly important for ageing populations in Singapore and Thailand, where personalised and accessible healthcare is a growing priority.

Despite the sector’s potential, barriers to adoption include regulatory challenges, the need for extensive datasets, and concerns about data privacy. Startups must navigate these issues carefully while ensuring compliance with local laws and maintaining public trust.

Financial services: Automating and optimising the future of finance

The financial services sector is undergoing a transformation, with GenAI driving automation, personalisation, and enhanced decision-making. This sector accounts for 13 per cent of GenAI startups in ASEAN, reflecting strong demand for innovative solutions in areas like accounting, insurance, and investment.

Startups like Singapore-based Bluesheets are leading the charge by automating financial data workflows, enabling businesses to increase operational efficiency. Similarly, AI-powered trading bots and personalised insurance products are emerging as key applications, providing consumers and businesses with tailored solutions.

GenAI’s ability to detect fraud and improve anti-money laundering (AML) processes is another financial game-changer. By leveraging AI, banks and financial institutions can strengthen compliance and reduce risks, which is especially crucial in a region with diverse regulatory landscapes.

However, competition from established players remains a significant challenge. Big Tech companies and global SaaS providers are increasingly integrating AI into their financial services offerings, making it critical for ASEAN startups to differentiate through localised solutions and superior customer experiences.

Edutech: Transforming learning experiences

While accounting for a smaller share of GenAI startups (seven per cent), the edutech sector holds immense potential in ASEAN. GenAI enables personalised and interactive learning experiences, addressing the diverse educational needs of the region’s populations.

Startups like Vietnam’s Dory exemplify this innovation by offering AI-generated flashcards and quizzes tailored to individual learning styles. Other applications include adaptive content creation, virtual tutors, and tools for language learning, which are particularly valuable in a multilingual region like ASEAN.

As governments prioritise upskilling and digital literacy, GenAI-powered edutech solutions can play a crucial role in equipping students and professionals with the skills needed for a rapidly evolving job market. Initiatives like Singapore’s AI Verify Foundation and Vietnam’s collaboration with Google to provide AI scholarships further highlight the importance of this sector.

However, challenges such as unequal access to technology and infrastructure disparities must be addressed to ensure equitable adoption of GenAI in education.

The adoption of GenAI across key sectors in ASEAN is transforming the region’s economic and social landscape. Productivity tools, healthcare, financial services, and education are leading this revolution, showcasing AI-driven innovation’s diverse applications and impact.

These sectors represent immense opportunities for startups to create value, address critical challenges, and achieve sustainable growth. Governments and investors, too, have a vital role in supporting this ecosystem by fostering innovation, ensuring regulatory clarity, and enabling equitable access to technology.

As ASEAN’s GenAI ecosystem matures, the region is set to become a global leader in AI innovation, driving meaningful change across industries and improving lives at scale. 

The journey from innovation to impact has only just begun.

Belli, a Singaporean startup building “next-generation” air cargo software for airlines, has won the 2024 FutureTravel Summit Pitch Competition in Barcelona, Spain.

The startup received €330,000 (US$350,000) in grants as part of the competition. In addition, it has won up to US$350,000 in Google Cloud credits, €2,000 worth of Exhibition Booth at the EU-Startups Summit 2025, including three event tickets, and €2.2,000 in one year Guru Plan for Semrush.

Belli was founded by Jeff Pan, formerly Chief Product Officer at AirAsia. He previously led engineering teams for SpaceX, McKinsey, and Booking.

The startup builds air cargo software for airlines, which fly with the bottom of the plane 85 per cent empty. Belli helps airlines manage their end-to-end air cargo operations by replacing their spreadsheets and manual processes with a fast and easy-to-use system.

“Most airlines are stuck using legacy cargo software that was built 20 years ago,” Pan tells e27. “Imagine running a restaurant on pen and paper, and then imagine if you put in a POS that seamlessly handles your accounting, ordering and kitchen orders while also distributing your menu to get you sales from delivery marketplaces (Uber Eats, Grab Food, etc). We do that for airlines for air cargo.”

The firm provides software to the airline on a monthly subscription basis, processes payments in return for a percentage of the transaction and distributes its capacity to marketplaces.

“We’re currently onboarding one new airline customer every month. For now, most of them are small airlines in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and North America,” he adds.

Belli has previously raised US$500,000 in funding from investors, including Iterative.

Dear reader,

Singapore’s position as the global leader in AI infrastructure underscores its strategic foresight and robust digital ecosystem. Achieving a top score of 8.91 in Arkance’s study, Singapore sets the benchmark for nations aiming to excel in the AI revolution.

The city-state’s unparalleled venture capital investment of US$14M per US$1,000 GDP reflects its dedication to nurturing AI startups and fostering innovation. With nearly 9 AI specialists per 1,000 LinkedIn members and research output with 31.8% AI-related papers, Singapore demonstrates its ability to cultivate and retain top talent. Its exceptional broadband speed of 305 Mbps and near-perfect cybersecurity score further enhance its appeal as a global AI hub.

South Korea and the UK follow closely, showcasing their own strengths in government technology maturity and cybersecurity. However, Singapore’s holistic approach—integrating funding, talent development, research, and infrastructure—solidifies its leadership.

This achievement highlights the increasing importance of AI infrastructure in driving economic growth and global competitiveness. As AI-powered technologies redefine industries like architecture, engineering, and construction, Singapore serves as a blueprint for nations seeking transformative progress.

By investing in AI ecosystems and safeguarding digital environments, countries can accelerate innovation and position themselves as leaders in the AI-powered future.
