HONG KONG, Dec. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Sammy Hsieh, Co-founder and CEO of iClick Interactive Asia Group Limited ("iClick" or "the Company") (NASDAQ: ICLK), an independent online marketing and enterprise data solutions provider in China, was recently invited by HSBC Commercial Banking Hong Kong to participate in their "GBA+ Technology Fund" video series to share his first-hand entrepreneurship experience and discuss the immense development potential that China's Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Bay Area (Greater Bay Area, "GBA") is set to offer new economy companies.
"I am honored to have been invited by Terence Chiu, Head of Commercial Banking, Hong Kong, HSBC to participate in the bank's video series about its GBA+ Technology Fund. As a new economy company, iClick is glad to have the opportunity to inspire others by sharing our story and exploring the growth prospects in the GBA. We appreciate HSBC's commitment to supporting innovation in the region through launching a dedicated lending fund that provides financial liquidity for companies, helping them to thrive across different markets," said Hsieh.
The GBA, which comprises Hong Kong, Macau and nine municipalities in the southern province of Guangdong in China, has made notable efforts in recent years to develop itself as a global technology and innovation hub. In the video, Hsieh highlights the evolution of new economy companies' funding needs, and notes that unlike many other financing solutions available to the sector, the GBA+ Technology Fund does not require any equity dilution and is therefore deemed favorable to the growth of technology companies in the GBA.
iClick was founded in Hong Kong from a zero base in 2009 and has developed into one of the largest independent marketing technology platforms in China, with over 800 million Chinese consumer datasets. The company now operates in various locations across the GBA, China and beyond, and was listed on Nasdaq in December 2017. Since 2018, iClick has extended its scope to provide enterprise solutions to sectors such as retail, education, transportation and real estate.
