As Hong Kong positions itself as a global tech hub, the industry faces a critical challenge: a looming talent gap. According to a recent study by Deloitte and the HKUST Business School, 63% of entrepreneurs cited talent shortfall as the major obstacle when founding startups in the city. The rapid pace of innovation, coupled with the increasing demand for skilled professionals, is putting immense pressure on organizations to adapt. While the promise of emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics, looms large, it is crucial to remember that these advancements should augment, not replace, human capabilities. To thrive in this rapidly evolving landscape, companies must prioritize their most valuable asset: their workforce. For large organizations with global footprints, their local offices have the leeway of leveraging their vast and global technical support and draw on this pool of internal expertise to back up their own human resources when required – as in the case of Orange Business in Hong Kong – proving that talents are universal and can transcend boundaries for as long as we know how to nurture and retain the pipeline. #talents #emergingtechnologies #futureready #futureofwork #HongKong #OrangeBusiness #emergingtechnologies #futureofwork #futureready #futureready #HongKong #OrangeBusiness

Why do many ANZ tech firms ignore Asia in their growth plans? 🤔 It's a common theme I love to talk about and something I'm going to be running a session on with the River City Labs community in May (thanks for the invite Laura Ashmole!). Expanding into the US & UK is can be a huge opportunity, and we at SCALERR support that, but at the right time, and for the right reasons. On the flipside, the ASEAN region, also has huge potential and is right on our doorstep: 🌏 Huge consumer market with a growing middle class hungry for fresh products and services. 📈 Robust economic growth. 📲 Quick tech adoption. 🏙 Thriving innovation hubs packed with talent and investors. 🤝 Potential for strategic partnerships. 💰 Fintech innovation is booming, offering untapped opportunities. Our Singapore HQ is thriving with Colin Kleine 🚀 leading the charge. It's been great building our partner network right throughout the region, not only focussed on supporting global businesses expand in, but also supporting Singaporean businesses go further. Happy to talk to anyone who wants to hear my thoughts on the above!
