Innovation-driven startups and fledgling companies striving for rapid expansion and public listing have sprouted up in Hong Kong in recent years. Focusing on catalyzing growth, an establishment of governance frameworks is unlikely to be a priority for these startup founders during the initial stages. Nonetheless, good governance is undoubtedly pivotal to sustainability and attracting public investment for their long-term success.
