Impactful Policy Frameworks
Hong Kong's R&D Cash Rebate Scheme (2022 Amendment)
The Hong Kong government increased the cash rebate rate for eligible R&D expenditure to 300% for the first HK$4 million and 200% for the remaining amount.
This policy directly incentivizes technology startups in Hong Kong to increase their R&D investment, making Hong Kong a more attractive hub for innovation and potentially increasing the pool of R&D-intensive ventures seeking support from Inspect Element.
Greater Bay Area (GBA) Development Plan (Ongoing)
The GBA plan aims to foster closer economic integration between Hong Kong and other GBA cities, promoting cross-border flow of talent, capital, and data.
This facilitates Inspect Element's strategy to expand into the broader APAC region, particularly China, by easing cross-border operations and increasing market access for their portfolio companies and services.
Hong Kong's Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (PDPO) Amendments (Ongoing)
Ongoing discussions and potential amendments to the PDPO aim to strengthen data protection and privacy regulations, aligning closer with international standards like GDPR.
This requires Inspect Element and its client startups to ensure robust data privacy compliance in their product development and operations, potentially increasing development costs but also fostering trust with users.
