Our Approach
We don't operate like others in this space. We don't offer generic market reports or theoretical roadmaps.
We operate from direct relationships — with founders, with innovation park directors, with investors and corporates across Hong Kong, the Greater Bay Area, and Spain.
That's the difference.
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.
In 2024, Hong Kong ranked #1 globally for IPOs, ahead of New York and London. It has overtaken Switzerland as the world's leading hub for offshore wealth.
The four government-backed innovation parks — Cyberport, HKSTP, HSITP, and OASES — offer European startups something rare: subsidised soft-landing programs, co-working with Asian corporates, access to Mainland China networks, and real institutional credibility.
We know each of these parks well. We know what they're looking for, what they fund, and which fits which type of startup.
The startups we work with
We focus on European — primarily Spanish — deep-tech startups with:
- A product or technology already validated in their home market
- A genuine international ambition, not just interest
- A sector with relevance to Asia: health tech, cybersecurity, AI, robotics, sustainability, defence technology
We are sector-specific and selective.
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.
If you're a European startup ready to expand — or a Hong Kong partner looking for the right European innovation — let's talk.
We'll tell you quickly whether there's a fit.
