HiBlock, a dynamic accelerator powering the next generation of tech pioneers, is proud to announce its appointment as the Investor Champion of Global Fast Track 2025 (GFT 2025), the flagship initiative by InvestHK to connect global tech innovators with Hong Kong’s dynamic business ecosystem.
Global Fast Track 2025: Open for Applications, Expanding Opportunities Beyond Fintech
GFT 2025 is now accepting applications worldwide until 21 September 2025, with this year’s program expanding beyond fintech to include seven key verticals: fintech, artificial intelligence (AI), greentech, blockchain and digital assets, insurtech and healthtech, innovation and technology, and a dedicated Mainland China track (conducted in Mandarin). This expansion unlocks new growth avenues for a broader spectrum of tech companies seeking to establish or scale in Hong Kong.
The year-long hybrid program offers participants a comprehensive support package, including:
One-on-one meetings, live pitching opportunities, and personalized mentorship;
Customized business matching with corporate clients, investors, and service providers;
A holistic “soft-landing” package: up to HK$100,000 in financial grants, access to co-working spaces, one-on-one consultations for setting up business in Hong Kong, and exclusive training/networking events.
A separate competition track will select semi-finalists from each vertical to pitch in person at the Hong Kong FinTech Week x StartmeupHK Festival 2025 (November), with the grand finale held during the main conference. Shortlisted companies will also gain a unique pathway to fast-track to the FinTech Innovation Lab Asia-Pacific (FILAP) 2026 Interview Day—a prestigious initiative by Accenture and Hong Kong Cyberport that connects startups to senior executives from top financial institutions. To date, FILAP alumni have raised over US$1.1 billion in funding and developed 552 Proof of Concepts (PoCs) across nearly 90 companies.
