According to PANews, CertiK, a leading Web3 security company, has signed an agreement to become a key enterprise partner with the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government. The signing ceremony, part of the government's initiative to attract key enterprises, was attended by CertiK's Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Li Kang, alongside representatives from 17 other high-tech companies. The event, witnessed by Financial Secretary Paul Chan, drew over 200 participants, including representatives from key enterprises, local and foreign chambers of commerce, research institutions, universities, financial and professional services companies, and relevant government departments. A total of 18 companies from sectors such as advanced manufacturing, new energy technology, artificial intelligence and data science, fintech, and life health technology joined the initiative. CertiK stands out as the only company focused on Web3 security, leveraging its expertise in blockchain security to contribute to Hong Kong's development as an international innovation and technology hub. Dr. Li Kang highlighted Hong Kong's world-class financial and technological talent and its close international ties. He noted the government's proactive approach in promoting Web3.0, introducing various virtual asset policy frameworks, and implementing a licensing regime for virtual asset service providers (VASP). Institutions like Cyberport are actively providing funding and resources to accelerate the growth of the Web3 ecosystem. CertiK aims to set industry standards for virtual asset compliance audits and contribute to the sector's development, enhancing Hong Kong's global competitiveness. The Office for Attracting Strategic Enterprises (OASES) stated that it will collaborate with other government departments to provide comprehensive services to key enterprises, including CertiK, to expedite their business establishment in Hong Kong and promote sustained growth in the innovation and technology industry. CertiK plans to leverage Hong Kong's strategic location and policy support to deepen collaboration with local research institutions and enterprises, contributing to the diversification of Hong Kong's economy. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in New York, CertiK is dedicated to Web3 security, supporting the long-term development strategy of Web3 enterprises and ecosystems through its full-cycle products and services. The company has rapidly expanded globally, serving over 4,900 enterprise clients and safeguarding digital assets valued at over $530 billion. CertiK has a longstanding relationship with Hong Kong, with its co-founder Professor Ronghui Gu and CTO Dr. Li Kang being members of Hong Kong's Web3 Development Task Force, actively participating in the construction of the Web3 ecosystem. CertiK has also collaborated with Cyberport to launch Web3 security training courses and proposed stablecoin regulatory recommendations adopted by Hong Kong authorities. Becoming a key enterprise partner will further solidify CertiK's strategic position in the Asia-Pacific region and support Hong Kong's innovation in fintech and blockchain.
