We were honored to participate in a dynamic panel discussion hosted by Google Hong Kong, welcoming 20 bright students from Canadian universities as part of their Career Exchange Tour. This event provided a unique platform to exchange ideas and experiences across continents, and to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs and innovators.
Our founder and CEO, Calvin Cheng, shared his entrepreneurial journey and the distinctive challenges and opportunities of operating a SaaS company in Asia compared to North America. Drawing from his extensive experience leading Wizpresso, a Hong Kong-based technology company specializing in AI-driven regulatory compliance solutions, Calvin highlighted key differences in market dynamics, customer engagement, and business development strategies between these regions.
A significant portion of the discussion focused on effective B2B sales techniques tailored to the Asian market, emphasizing relationship-building and ecosystem collaboration. Calvin also introduced the students to Hong Kong’s vibrant startup ecosystem, spotlighting innovation hubs like Cyberport, which play a crucial role in nurturing startups through funding, mentorship, and community support.
This event underscored how startups thrive when supported by strong partners like Google, whose ecosystem enables founders to accelerate growth and innovation. We extend our sincere thanks to the Google Hong Kong team- Michael Yue, Grace Ng, and Amy Wong- for their warm hospitality and seamless organization.
At Wizpresso, we believe that sharing knowledge and fostering cross-border connections are vital to building a robust entrepreneurial ecosystem. We look forward to continuing our engagement with global talent and contributing to Hong Kong’s position as a leading innovation hub.
