Accelerated Growth

InnoBay Network
InnoBay is not a standalone infrastructure. It is the on-campus front door to the HKUST DeepTech startup ecosystem — connecting our incubatees to a network of infrastructures, industries, investors, and most importantly, the alumni network, so a founder can move from lab bench to market without leaving the network.

HKUST's Shenzhen incubation platform, founded in 2016, based in the Hetao Shenzhen–Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone. A full-stage incubation system from proof-of-concept to scale-up, with 223 projects incubated to date.
