Hong Kong aims to be a global tech hub, but can it hold on to its young talent?

Hong Kong is positioning itself to become a global technology hub, but the city faces a significant challenge in retaining its young tech talent. Eighteen-year-old entrepreneurs Rexan Wong Chak-chi and Ken Mochizuki represent this dichotomy as they race to launch their business ideas from divergent locations.

While Wong is looking to Silicon Valley in the United States to secure better institutional and financial support for his venture, Mochizuki has chosen a different path closer to home. The contrasting decisions of these emerging developers highlight the ongoing struggle local authorities face in convincing the next generation of innovators to build their futures within the city.
