Innovation for Future
The Elevator Pitch International Competition 2025 returned with a refreshed identity and an expanded experience, reinforcing its role as a global catalyst for innovation and a gateway into Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area. Organised by The Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (“HKSTP”), the competition challenges startups to make their case in a 60-second pitch, a format that sharpens ideas quickly and accelerates breakthrough solutions.
In 2025, EPiC raised the stakes by offering access to a targeted US$100 million investment pool, double the previous year, while opening the stage to high potential ventures across Digital Health Tech, FinTech and GreenTech. By pairing speed with scale, EPiC connects founders with investor and corporate networks that can turn promising concepts into market-ready innovations.
Building on this mission, our Head of Sustainability participated as a Pre-round Judge, supporting the EPiC Award and helping evaluate transformative ideas, particularly those with strong potential to reshape how cities live, work and build. Through this role, Henderson Land contributed practical perspectives from the built environment, encouraged founders to refine solutions for real world adoption, and helped spotlight innovations that can drive long-term, innovation-led growth across the region.
