Simon Chan, Chairman of Cyberport, said, “Cyberport, as Hong Kong’s digital tech hub, AI accelerator and key incubator, supported companies to have expanded to Thailand, the broader ASEAN region along the Belt and Road, and over 35 markets worldwide. NSTDA and Thailand Science Park on our side will add strength to Cyberport’s ever-growing ASEAN alliances, paving the way to Hong Kong and Chinese Mainland companies to take a stronghold in ASEAN markets. We look forward to supporting high-potential companies from Thailand to capitalise on the vast markets in the Greater Bay Area and the wider Chinese Mainland, and global markets.

TSP and Cyberport have been working closely in recent years to support start-up growth, with a notable milestone being the success of Nano Coating Tech, a Thai deep tech start-up specialising in advanced nano coating solutions for industrial applications and solar panels, that successfully got admitted into Cyberport Incubation Programme for funding up to HK$500,000 and comprehensive support,”

NSTDA, as an autonomous government agency, manages Thailand’s leading tech park, Thailand Science Park (TSP). Established in 2002 as Thailand’s first and largest science and technology park, TSP is designed to promote I&T development and R&D activities. NSTDA’s ecosystem is anchored by five national research centres, namely National Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (BIOTEC), National Metal and Materials Technology Centre (MTEC), National Electronics and Computer Technology Centre (NECTEC), National Nanotechnology Centre (NANOTEC), and National Energy Technology Centre (ENTEC).

Alongside these centres, TSP is home to over 120 technology companies, nearly 40 percent of which are international firms. This reflects TSP’s role as a regional R&D hub in ASEAN, trusted by both local and global technology companies that choose Thailand as a base for technology development. This is supported by a strong pool of talent and advanced testing infrastructure that meets international standards.

NSTDA has been a long-standing strategic partner of Cyberport through TSP since 2024. Both sides have co-created programmes, global landing initiatives and webinars, facilitated deep-tech start-ups joining Cyberport Incubation Programme, and facilitated Cyberport start-ups joining TSP for market expansion.

Today’s MoU establishes a framework for joint activities that will support start-ups and technology companies from both Hong Kong and Thailand ecosystems. Key initiatives include:

  • Support start-ups and technology companies recommended by either side in exploring market opportunities, establishing presence, and expanding operations within the respective innovative ecosystems.
  • Facilitate connection to relevant industry partners, research institutions, and corporate networks to support collaboration, investment opportunities, technology adoption, market entry, and business development expansion.
  • Encourage and support participation of start-ups in incubation programmes, entrepreneurship, ecosystem activities, community events organised by both sides.
  • Jointly organise and promote seminars, forums, networking activities, and knowledge-sharing initiatives to strengthen collaboration between the two ecosystems.
  • Explore and identify opportunities for start-ups to conduct pilot projects, technology demonstrations, or proof-of-concept initiatives with industry partners and prospective end users.

TSP will strengthen this collaboration through the “TSP Scale X Landing Programme” to fast-track international start-ups’ expansion into the Thai market, by connecting them to established partner networks and real industry demand in Thailand, while providing them with access to the country’s research and testing infrastructure.

Leveraging its role as a “super connector” and “super value-adder”, Cyberport continues to expand global partnerships to foster cross-regional growth of technology ecosystems and advance Hong Kong’s innovation on a global stage. In ASEAN, Cyberport has forged strategic collaborations with Indonesia’s Telkom University, Thailand’s Digital Economy Promotion Agency (DEPA), as well as Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC), apart from alliances in the Middle East, East Asia and North America, further strengthening Hong Kong’s position as an international I&T hub.

“K-SUUL Pavilion” to Open for the First Time at the HKCEC on May 26-28

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 10 June 2026 – The National Tax Service of Korea (Commissioner: Lim Kwang-hyun), for the first time, opened the “K-SUUL Pavilion” at Vinexpo Asia[1], which was held for three days from May 26 to 28 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC).

The opening of the “K-SUUL Pavilion” was served as a key milestone in raising the global profile of Korean alcoholic beverages and expanding overseas exports.

At the inaugural “K-SUUL AWARDS” held by National Tax Service of Korea last December, 175 small and medium-sized liquor producers from across Korea submitted a total of 366 products. Following document screening and blind testing, 12 products were selected.

The award-winning liquors, selected through a fair judging process with the participation of Korean citizens, was introduced to the global market through this exhibition, marking their first step toward overseas expansion.

The “K-SUUL Pavilion” was operated through cooperation between the National Tax Service of Korea and the liquor industry and association (the Korea Alcohol and Liquor Industry Association). It was designed as an integrated promotional platform to strengthen the export competitiveness of Korean alcoholic beverages and develop overseas sales channels.

The “K-SUUL Pavilion” was operated with a total of 16 booths (display and tasting booths), and 12 companies — including winners of the K-SUUL AWARDS — participated to hold consultations with overseas buyers.

Participating companies ranged from traditional liquor breweries to regional soju producers and major liquor companies, showcasing the diverse spectrum of Korea’s alcoholic beverage industry on a single stage.

In addition to the booths operated by the 12 participating companies, a dedicated booth was set up exclusively to showcase the award-winning liquors, further highlighting the significance of the K-SUUL AWARDS.

At the venue, promotional videos of the award-winning liquors were screened, while English-language brochures and souvenirs were distributed to attract local buyers and visitors to raise awareness of Korean alcoholic beverages.

In addition, meetings with the organizers of Vinexpo Asia, overseas buyers, and distribution industry officials were also held to identify rapidly changing global liquor market trends and assess the overseas expansion potential of Korean alcoholic beverages.

Han Yeong-seok Fermentation Research Institute expressed gratitude for being given the opportunity to participate in the exhibition, saying, “It was meaningful to showcase our award-winning liquor, ‘Dohan Cheongmyeongju,’ on the same stage as liquors from around the world through this exhibition. We did our best to promote Korea’s unique fermentation culture and the value of Korean liquor to the world.”

Going forward, the National Tax Service of Korea will continue to enhance the substance of the K-SUUL AWARDS, continuously discover outstanding liquors from promising small and medium-sized enterprises, and will actively support the globalization of Korean liquor (K-SUUL) by promoting it both domestically and internationally and helping these businesses expand their sales channels.

Located on the main level of Great Mall in Milpitas, in the heart of the San Francisco Bay Area, the new concept store not only marks a significant step in bringing the latest K-beauty trends to a broader US audience, but also represents a major strategic milestone in advancing the Group’s B2C-B2B dual-engine strategy to expand market share in North America.

Opening our first YesStyle beauty retail store here feels like coming home and reinforces our commitment to continue innovating and delivering exceptional experiences to our customers, both online and offline.”

Empowering the B2B Wholesale Business AsiaBeautyWholesale (ABW) Growth
