Why Hong Kong? Expanding Your Business to Asia.

•

456 recomendaciones•54,712 vistas

In 2013 I moved my family to Hong Kong to open my digital marketing agency's first international office. This slide deck was used for a presentation at the San Francisco office of InvestHK on Nov 3rd, 2015, to explain why I chose Hong Kong for my business, and why I believe Hong Kong is a compelling first option for other businesses looking to expand to Asia. In the presentation I talked about the startup scene in Hong Kong, ease of doing business, and what it's like to live and work in Hong Kong.

How come a fishing village can turn in 30 years into one of China's most innovative and productive city? Who are the people making Shenzhen something more than just a huge factory? What startups emerge from a city which mixes a lot of immigrants, an entrepreneurial mindset, and a fondness for shanzhai, China's creative piracy and geekery? We've been attending the Shenzhen Maker Faire in April 2014, and were amazed by both the biggest exhibition of tinkerers and hardware geeks, and the quality of speakers in the conference. We've also spend a day with the teams from HAXLR8R, a proeminent hardware startup accelerator based both in Shenzhen and San Francisco. Follow our journey and discover how the startup scene of Shenzhen has been progressively built, what makes it different from Shanghai or Beijing, meet its key people and events, and do remember the name of this city as it's evolving into an epicenter of tech innovation, both for hardware startup and life sciences with BGI.

Nigeria... Yes, it's big, ugly, dangerous, poor, too big, too hot, too rainy. And it's Africa's biggest country and economy, so the potential for startups and entrepreneurs is huge. During our trip to Lagos to attend the Mobile West Africa 2014 conference, we listened to the speakers, met the key players of the local tech ecosystem, and were amazed, just like all the other emerging markets we explore, by the creativity, the will, and the startups we saw. Take the trip with us to dive into Nigeria's startup scene. As usual, we love to look back in time to see what are the milestones explaining why the country is where it is today. Oddly enough, Nigeria has long been a very isolated country, with few exports else than natural resources. Since Nollywood and the most creative movie industry of the continent, it's changing. Despite the kilometric list of challenges the country is facing, a lot of spots and startups are to be discussed. Wecyclers, BudgIT are among the secret gems we discovered in Lagos, and for sure, there's more than that.

6 Ways Nonprofit and NGOs Can Imitate Journalists For Crowdfunding Success

In May, 2017 I had the opportunity to go "home" to BYU-Idaho (formerly Ricks College) where I graduated 20 years earlier in 1997 and speak at the Power 2 Become (P2B) event. I was asked to speak on "networking" and gave these tips based on my experiences as an entrepreneur and journalist. Some of the content may be "interesting" to a secular audience given the religious nature. To give context, BYU Idaho is a religious school, owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (aka "Mormons") so I felt free to share content I wouldn't normally share with any other business audience. You can watch the accompanying video of my presentation at https://youtu.be/tbVoRsI0p1Q.

The Call Girl was so corporative and Fashionable. She Came Into my hotel room. I got This Dubai Call Girl numbers from Proven Expert so straightway I contacted her. I am so happy after using this agency service. This is highly recommended if you are a visitor in Dubai and you don't have an idea how to get the Call Girls In Dubai. This agency is having a big collection of Indian Call Girls In Dubai and Pakistani Call Girls In Dubai and the best thing about it is they all are verified, staff. Even They have a huge variety of Independent Call Girls In Dubai as well. This agency is holding a confirmed Staff which is a great opportunity for every user in Dubai or any part of UAE. After reading many positive reviews about this company i have decided to give it a chance. I contact on this Call Girl number mentioned in the tittle. The whole process was very transparent and clear. I received the Call Girls photos I chose one of them if I'm not wrong she belongs from Pakistan. She came in my hotel near Al rigga next bur Dubai area. I paid her 2500 aed for 4 hrs. We spent together very good time. She was neat and clean and she was wearing full black dress. I really liked her sense of humor. After the 8 hrs she gave me 30 mins extra for some gossip. i will always remember that Golden Shower. This is how my date ended up. Everything was great. This is called a quality service. I will always consider this Call Girl agency in future. Cheers A good option for practical people. Real girls with real Call Girls photos Dubai. It's social nature if you pay for something you require the best results from it. This same synopsis happened in my case. After many attempts finally I have found an established Call Girls Agency in Dubai. I prefer them to use their Call Girls because they are vaccinated and taking care of hygiene as well. they are clean and have a positive attitude. It was simple for me I was searching Dubai Call Girls Numbers and found this profile on proven Expert. then I contact their Tele caller he suggested Sam in 4 hrs for 2500 and guess what it was lovely moments being with her. Now I do not need to go anywhere or to anyone else. My participation was excellent with them, this is the only approved escorts service in Dubai with tested Call Girls. I am using their services for the last 9 months and they have never deceived me in any way. They have their own chauffeurs who bring the Call Girls in less time in any area of Dubai like Al Barsha, JLT or JBR or even Dubai Investment Park DIP too. I am writing here all after enduring your services in all situations. So confidentl
