In the first five months of this year, ten companies have successfully listed in Hong Kong under the Chapter 18C regime, raising a combined total exceeding HK$25 billion.
This information was shared by Hong Kong Exchange & Clearing Ltd. (HKEX) CEO Bonnie Chan during the 2026 HKEX Future Tech Summit on June 11th. She highlighted that the Hong Kong capital market continues to attract leading-edge technology companies.
The listings span several strategic emerging industries, including robotics, autonomous driving, artificial intelligence, and aerospace.
Chan pointed out that since its introduction, Chapter 18C has provided a clearer and more targeted listing pathway for specialized technology companies with high-growth potential, effectively meeting the financing needs of innovative tech firms.
The successful market debut of these companies reflects how Hong Kong's listing regime aligns with global technology industry trends and demonstrates international investors' focus on and recognition of cutting-edge technology sectors.
She stated that with the accelerated development of emerging industries such as AI, robotics, the low-altitude economy, and commercial aerospace, HKEX will continue to leverage its strengths as an international fundraising platform. It aims to enhance the market ecosystem, attract more innovative tech companies to list in Hong Kong, support the commercialization of scientific and technological innovations and industrial upgrading, thereby further consolidating Hong Kong's status as an international financial center.
