NZData, a data technology services company based in Mainland China, accelerates its growth through Hong Kong. Viewing the city as a strategic gateway to international markets, NZData sought assistance from the HKTDC’s Transformation Sandbox (T-box) to establish a Hong Kong office in 2023. Since setting up in Hong Kong, the company has undertaken several large-scale projects and received the Hong Kong Quality Assurance Agency's ESG Connect mark. As demand for computing power rises in Southeast Asia, NZData is poised to expand into the region from its Hong Kong base. The company once again reached out to the HKTDC’s T-box team for assistance. The team developed a strategy to guide the company’s expansion plans, from securing patents to facilitating connections with global investors and buyers, particularly in Southeast Asia.
