We are connecting Eastern Europe and Hong Kong!
Hong Kong is one of the best places to do business in the World! It's far from Europe, however, there are great examples of successful entrepreneurs from Eastern Europe and CIS who grew their businesses in Hong Kong. We'd like to share the real cases, provide the information from the "first hand", create the community, and build the bridge between startup and business ecosystems.
