Navin Chellaram, Cathay General Manager of Digital Ventures and CEO of Cathay Technologies, expressed their commitment: "Cathay has a long-standing commitment to supporting Hong Kong’s technology ecosystem and fostering innovation and economic growth in the wider Greater Bay Area, including through our signature Cathay Hackathon and our successful graduate trainee programme."

As a partner in the HKSTP Co-Acceleration Fund, Cathay Technologies will aid startups with funding and expertise to scale operations and bring products to market. More information can be found at www.cathaytechnologies.com.
