Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I apply as an overseas startup?

Yes. You can apply as an overseas startup or an individual as long as you are willing to incorporate a limited company in Hong Kong if you receive a programme offer.

2. Can I apply as a Hong Kong–based startup?

Yes. You are eligible if your company was incorporated in Hong Kong within two years by 30 August 2026.

3. Can I apply if my company is currently in HKSTP Ideation, Incubation, or Acceleration programme?

Yes. You are eligible. If selected, you are entitled to receive support from AVNET; however, the offerings under the HKSTP Ideation Programme will not apply.

4. Do I need to be based in Hong Kong during the programme period?

The programme is designed to support teams in exploring the Hong Kong market. While there is flexibility for teams regarding their physical presence in Hong Kong during the programme period, aspects of local commitment and engagement will be taken into consideration when evaluating teams for potential progression to the HKSTP’s Incubation Programme upon completion of this AVNET EMUS Lab x HKSTP Co-Incubation Programme.
