Ferrer & Co — Investment Bridge Spain · Hong Kong
We don't offer roadmaps.
We open doors.
We operate from direct relationships — with founders, innovation park directors, investors and corporates across Hong Kong, the Greater Bay Area, and Spain.
That's the difference.
Why Hong Kong?
Hong Kong is often misunderstood by European founders. It's not just a financial hub — it's a regulated, English-speaking, internationally connected launchpad sitting at the edge of the largest consumer market in the world.
Government-backed innovation parks offer European startups subsidised soft-landing programs, co-working with Asian corporates, and access to Mainland China networks. We know each of these parks well — what they fund, and which fits which startup.
The startups we work with
We focus on European — primarily Spanish — deep-tech startups. We are sector-specific and selective.
Validated at home
Product or technology already proven in their home market
Real ambition
Genuine international drive, not just interest in expanding
Asia-relevant sector
Health tech, cybersecurity, AI, robotics, sustainability, defence
Built on real relationships
Ferrer & Co is a co-founding partner of the Spain Hong Kong Business Association (SPHKBA) — a network connecting Spanish and Hong Kong businesses, institutions, and professionals.
This gives us direct access to decision-makers on both sides: innovation park programs, HK-based investors, Spanish startups with global potential, and European institutions with Asia strategy.
We don't introduce people to people. We connect the right people to the right opportunities.
