A start-up accelerator co-founded by Legislative Council of Hong Kong member Johnny Ng Kit-chong is looking to help 1,000 web3 startups set up shop in the city within the next three years.
G-Rocket’s new initiative, “Hong Kong Web3.0 Hub,” coincides with the special administrative region’s concerted push to put itself among the leaders in the virtual asset industry.
150 start-ups — primarily founded by Chinese entrepreneurs based elsewhere — have signed up for the accelerator’s new program, G-Rocket’s co-founder and CEO, Casper Wong, ບອກ the South China Morning Post earlier this week.
ທ່ານ Wong ກ່າວວ່າ “ພວກເຮົາຫວັງວ່າຈະຊ່ວຍນຳບໍລິສັດທີ່ດີແລະພອນສະຫວັນກັບຄືນສູ່ຮົງກົງໃນຍຸກຫຼັງການແຜ່ລະບາດຂອງໂລກລະບາດ.”
G-Rocket’s program helps web3 startups obtain office space, banking — through virtual bank ZA Bank — and government resources.
G-Rocket is a subsidiary of Ng’s venture capital firm, Goldford Group.
