HONG KONG – Dynano Semiconductor Technology Company Limited from the Chinese mainland has officially established its foothold in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region as its headquarters, Invest Hong Kong (InvestHK) announced on Friday.
The startup says it aims to efficiently integrate mainland manufacturing capacity, Hong Kong's international capital, and overseas cutting-edge technology, creating a synergistic model of research and development in Hong Kong, pilot production in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and access to global markets.
Welcoming the firm’s official establishment in the city, Associate Director-General of Investment Promotion of InvestHK Loretta Lee said that by setting up its headquarters in Hong Kong, Dynano Semiconductor has taken a significant step in expanding its overseas operations.
“It also highlights Hong Kong's increasingly important role as an innovation and technology hub and international business center,” she said, wishing the company great success and expressing her hope that it leverages Hong Kong to explore more overseas markets.
InvestHK, the HKSAR’s investment promotion agency, acts as a proactive, value-added partner in driving the city’s high-quality economic development.

Chief Technology Officer of Dynano Semiconductor Professor Huang Mingxin indicated that Dynano, as one of the first projects in the HKU Techno-Entrepreneurship Academy, has already laid a solid foundation in research.
The startup plans to leverage Hong Kong's geographic advantage to tap into European and Japanese markets, using the city as a "transformation hub" to commercialize its research results, he said.
Hong Kong, as an international innovation hub, has a vibrant ecosystem, which is a crucial base for our development, said Huang.
“The city offers a robust intellectual property protection system, access to global high-end industrial chain resources, and a well-established industry-academia-research mechanism that connects universities, enterprises, and markets. This helps us quickly achieve technological implementation and business scaling, bringing laboratory breakthroughs into industrial scenarios more efficiently.”
Dynano has developed a fast track of 'R&D in Hong Kong, incubation in Shenzhen', by leveraging the opportunities arising from the deep industrial integration in the Bay Area, he said.
According to him, Hong Kong will serve as the company’s global hub for industry-academia-research resources, acting as the connector that connects the University of Hong Kong, international top-tier research institutions, and the semiconductor industry chain.
“It will be responsible for linking up with overseas advanced equipment suppliers and brands, ensuring that technology meets market demands.”
Revealing that the startup has successfully completed seed and angel rounds of funding last year, Prof Huang said it recently built a 100,000-level and 10,000-level cleanroom and introduced several high-end precision pieces of equipment. “These developments lay a solid foundation for future technological research and product mass production, marking a new phase of mass production for the startup,” he said.
With a more comprehensive R&D environment and industrial capacity, Dynano will continue to focus on breakthroughs in key semiconductor technologies and its industrial applications, added Huang.
