調查指逾三成創業家認為疫情帶動服務需求 2019/20財年風險投資交易量創新高
畢馬威與阿里巴巴香港創業者基金發表「以創業家精神推動香港轉型」第三期報告,訪問共134名香港初創企業家及管理層等,受訪創業家中有34%指新冠疫情帶動其產品和服務的需求增加,而企業的比例則為19%,顯示初創企業具有相當的適應性和靈活性去把握商機。接受調查的創業家表示「使命感」主導初創企業的業務定義,當中有近63%受訪者認為其經營方針是因應社會需要尋求解決方案。
雖然疫情於全球蔓延並造成影響,但於2019/2020財政年度私募風險投資的交易數量卻上升至有記錄以來的最高水平,達140宗交易,投資總額為108.9億港元。香港初創企業亦接連吸引多宗大型投資,於2019/2020財年共獲得32.9億港元投資額,佔投資總額近三分之一。同期,香港政府對初創企業的總資助額增長近一倍,由2018/19財年的44.7億港元躍升至2019/2020財年的82.7億港元,共有540多家初創企業受惠於政府的風險投資、撥款及創業培育計劃。
初創企業意識到,要獲得投資,便需要在香港以外的地區擴大規模。82%受訪的香港企業家表示其公司在香港本土設有業務,31%的公司在大灣區九個內地城市設有業務,26%的公司則在東南亞設有業務。而目前不在大灣區及東南亞營運的初創企業中,有41%表示計劃於未來三年內擴展至大灣區城市,而40%受訪者則計劃擴展至東南亞。初創企業策劃跨境拓展業務時,產品本地化及深入認識目標市場特性的能力至關重要。選擇合適的合作夥伴和資金來源以及設立支援架構協助公司全面應對複雜的政策和法規同等重要。(elt)~
