On the 3rd of April, the HKTDC will give a brief programme introduction workshop explaining the Start-up Express programme and why startups should join.
Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) is collaborating with Our Hong Kong Foundation (OHKF) to organise a start-up programme namely “Start-up Express”.
