As the key promoter of the sector in Hong Kong, Cyberport strives to support industry development and diversification. At Cyberport, there are over 150 relevant start-ups and companies with businesses including game development and publishing, platforms for broadcasting tournaments and related multimedia content, and respective content management. Many have an eye on overseas markets. The delegation\u2019s visit allows Hong Kong industry players to learn about the Nordic region\u2019s digital entertainment and gaming industry development experience. The company visits and business meetings we arranged would facilitate collaborations with Nordic counterparts and help Hong Kong digital entertainment companies further expand their businesses internationally<\/span><span lang=\"EN-AU\">.\u201d<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p><b><span lang=\"EN-AU\">Victor Tsang, Head of CreateHK<\/span><\/b><span lang=\"EN-AU\">, thanked Cyberport and FinnCham Hong Kong for organising \u201cScaling Hong Kong to the Nordics\u201d during the pandemic, and for successfully leading a delegation formed by Hong Kong digital entertainment and game start-ups and scale-ups to visit the Nordic region after several postponements, which would help them explore the markets in that region.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p><b><span lang=\"EN-AU\">Binh Johansson, Community Director of Nordic Innovation House<\/span><\/b><span lang=\"EN-AU\">, the supporting organisation which led the delegation, said, \u201cThere are tremendous business opportunities between the Hong Kong and Nordic gaming markets. Nordic game enterprises can introduce Hong Kong companies\u2019 games to Nordic markets, co-develop new games, and invest in promising game companies. Meanwhile, Hong Kong game publishers, with their international business acumen and extensive networks, can help Nordic companies explore Asian markets. Other important factors are also the creative cultural exploration, talent and idea exchanges that this trip bring. Nordic Game is just the right platform to offer these great opportunities for industry players in the two regions to communicate face-to-face, and to understand each other better.\u201d<br \/>\n  <br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<br \/><b><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Jeremy Lam, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of PIXIO<\/span><\/b><span lang=\"EN-GB\">, one of the delegates, said, \u201cIn visiting the offices of different local game companies, we learned about their corporate cultures and how they conduct their affairs, an inspiring experience. In addition, the Finnish and Swedish governments are very supportive of the game industry\u2019s development. We expect the governments to formulate targeted policies to facilitate Hong Kong companies\u2019 entry into Nordic markets. Looking forward, we will also take advantage of the support of the Nordic governments to invite local talent to Hong Kong and help our company further develop.\u201d<br \/>\n  <br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<br \/><span lang=\"EN-AU\">\u201cScaling Hong Kong to the Nordics\u201d is a one-year programme.
