Hong Kong has become the top listing choice for tech firms amid the rise of Asia in global innovation, according to Bonnie Chan Yiting, CEO of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX).The comments come as the city’s capital markets maintain momentum despite recent fluctuations, with over HK$166 billion (US$21.2 billion) raised via initial public offerings (IPOs) in the first five months, and daily trading turnover averaging HK$293 billion in May, up 111 per cent and 39 per cent from one year ago, respectively.Underlying the trend was a structural change that had seen Hong Kong capital flows shift from traditional markets to emerging industries, with transaction volumes of tech shares surging sevenfold within 10 years, Chan said at the 2026 HKEX Future Tech Summit in Shenzhen on Thursday.
