调查指逾三成创业家认为疫情带动服务需求 2019/20财年风险投资交易量创新高
毕马威与阿里巴巴香港创业者基金发表「以创业家精神推动香港转型」第三期报告,访问共134名香港初创企业家及管理层等,受访创业家中有34%指新冠疫情带动其产品和服务的需求增加,而企业的比例则为19%,显示初创企业具有相当的适应性和灵活性去把握商机。接受调查的创业家表示「使命感」主导初创企业的业务定义,当中有近63%受访者认为其经营方针是因应社会需要寻求解决方案。
虽然疫情於全球蔓延并造成影响,但於2019/2020财政年度私募风险投资的交易数量却上升至有记录以来的最高水平,达140宗交易,投资总额为108.9亿港元。香港初创企业亦接连吸引多宗大型投资,於2019/2020财年共获得32.9亿港元投资额,占投资总额近三分之一。同期,香港政府对初创企业的总资助额增长近一倍,由2018/19财年的44.7亿港元跃升至2019/2020财年的82.7亿港元,共有540多家初创企业受惠於政府的风险投资、拨款及创业培育计划。
初创企业意识到,要获得投资,便需要在香港以外的地区扩大规模。82%受访的香港企业家表示其公司在香港本土设有业务,31%的公司在大湾区九个内地城市设有业务,26%的公司则在东南亚设有业务。而目前不在大湾区及东南亚营运的初创企业中,有41%表示计划於未来三年内扩展至大湾区城市,而40%受访者则计划扩展至东南亚。初创企业策划跨境拓展业务时,产品本地化及深入认识目标市场特性的能力至关重要。选择合适的合作夥伴和资金来源以及设立支援架构协助公司全面应对复杂的政策和法规同等重要。(elt)~
