Overview

Innovation adoption is the key to business transformation. The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (“HSBC”) and Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (“HKSTP”) have teamed up to launch the second cohort under SPRINTER 2 on “Logistics and Buildings”, a programme to accelerate innovation adoption for mid-cap corporates and SME in the logistics, buildings and related industries.

With rising technology disruption, market competition, as well as the impact of the recent pandemic, embracing innovation is not only important for business transformation, but it is fast becoming a survival skill.
