| | NOVEMBER 2021 6EDITOR'S DESKIt goes without saying that Hong Kong is a hotbed of deep-tech talent. From AI algorithms to AR-based games, there are hardly any domains of technology where companies from Hong Kong are not exploring. As a result, the city has also become a magnet for young startup talent from all around the world. And the hallmark of Hong Kong startups is the diversity of backgrounds of some of the founding teams, with the perfect blend of local and international talent. Logistics startups, for instance, are quite a rage now. Companies are offering digital freight marketplaces underpinned by freight routing and pricing technology. Targeting the trillion-dollar shipping industry, they are enabling users to reduce logistics costs by booking and managing air, ocean and land shipments.Meanwhile, some innovative recruitment startups are providing young professionals in Hong Kong working in various sectors with remote internship opportunities at global technology startups. Internship seekers are connected with startups through a weekly newsletter that is essentially the equivalent of a job board, and through that dashboard, aspirants can apply to exciting internships that are both fully remote and paid.Not to forget, e-commerce startups are also making their presence felt across Hong Kong. Some of them are offering both women and men clothes made from fabrics sourced all over the world. Last but not least, numerous P2P mobile wallet startups are facilitating the quick and easy transfer of money through all major Hong Kong banks for even the smallest of transactions--without levying any additional transactional charges.Staying ahead of every business trend in and around Hong Kong, we hope this edition of Startup City will help you find the most notable startups with a wide array of promising offerings on their plate.
