Click to apply：Hong Kong TF20 | Hong Kong Rising Star
Program overview
Deloitte Hong Kong Technology Fast 20 (Hong Kong TF20) is a subproject of the Deloitte China Technology Fast 50 (TF50) Program. It aims to explore and recognize the fastest-growing and most innovative enterprises in Hong Kong. As the sister program of Hong Kong TF20, Deloitte Hong Kong Rising Star (Hong Kong RS) recognizes young companies in leading positions that have ample room for growth in their industry segments.
Hong Kong TF20 and Hong Kong RS are held simultaneously. Once an enterprise enters the Hong Kong TF20 ranking, it automatically becomes a candidate for the Deloitte China TF50 and Deloitte Asia Pacific Technology Fast 500 programs. Hong Kong RS winners are eligible for the Deloitte China Rising Star Program. Winning companies can gain extensive media exposure and business opportunities, build brand eminence and reputation and boost staff pride.
Deloitte launched the Technology Fast 50/500 Program in Silicon Valley in 1995. It takes place simultaneously every year in more than 30 countries including US, UK, Germany, Japan and China. The mainstream media have considered the Program as a benchmark for global fast-growing companies. Some of the notable winners include Tencent, Alibaba, Jingdong, Baidu, Bytedance, Mare Medical, SMIC, WuXi AppTec, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and Tesla.
