Hong Kong’s IP Financing Sandbox, launched in December 2025, is shaping new pathways for IP‑backed lending and strengthening the city's development as a regional IP trading hub. This HKGCC event on 15 April brings together experts from the HKMA, banks, valuation, legal and technology sectors to address the emerging opportunities and practical implications of the initiative for Hong Kong's businesses.
On the agenda:
- How banks assess creditworthiness using IP analytics and valuation
- What counts as high-quality IP for financing
- How tech companies can make their IP “finance ready”
- Practical issues: IP pledges, enforceability and cross border challenges
