Blueprint - A good place to start your business in Hong Kong

Blueprint Hong Kong is an organization that is grouping up to ten startups with technical background for a time of six month. In these six month blueprint acts as an accelerator to boost the work of the startups. The boost is generated by shared resources, infrastructure and workspace.

Blueprint is the latest manifestation of Swire Properties which is an organization that develops and manages properties. The properties are located in Hong Kong, Mainland China and Miami and are used for commercial, residential and other business uses. The organization was founded in China in 1866 by John Swire an English businessman.

These days blueprint is located in TaiKoo Place one of Hong Kong´s premier business districts. On two floors of a Swire Properties owned building the startups have access to professional support as well as interactions with partner organizations and industrial mentors. Additionally they can use co-working areas and event spaces to unify and share the interest in tech and build a platform for the exchange of ideas.
