This year, Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its mission to build a thriving innovation and technology (I&T) ecosystem in the city, led by initiatives that turned start-ups into success stories.

SmartMore, a recent graduate of HKSTP’s incubation programme, is one of those stories. “We became a unicorn company in just 18 months,” said Tandy Tan, general manager and head of global business for the smart manufacturing company. He added that the billion-dollar valuation status was “one of our major achievements in the incubation programme”.
