ABOUT THIS PROGRAM


【ParticleX PropTech Global Challenge 2020】
Accelerating the “New Normal” in the property and real estate industry
Around the world, COVID-19 has affected millions of lives, and is having a growing impact on the global economy. Organisations everywhere are facing an unpredictable and uncertain future. We must all learn to adapt in order to facilitate our adjustment to this new economic reality.
ParticleX is launching a new initiative, ParticleX PropTech Global Challenge, a partnership with leading property developer Chinachem, and supported by Hong Kong Science and Technology Park (HKSTP), Smart City Consortium, and StartmeupHK to create agile and innovative solutions that meet these challenges.
 
One-of-a-Kind Matching Process
This unique approach is ideal for overseas startups looking to offer technology solutions to corporate clients in Hong Kong and Asia Pacific, while securing the opportunity to get investment funding from ParticleX, Chinachem and other co-investment partners, plus a chance to receive incubation support from HKSTP.
Programme selection process is completely virtual. Selected startups will be invited to attend online investment committee meetings with HKSTP and ParticleX’s PropTech corporate partners.
 
ParticleX is calling for immediate technology-based solutions with the following impacts:
Cost reduction – save on costs, improve operational efficiency
Customer leads & engagement – increase market share through attracting new customers, improve customer relationship
ESG impact creation – embrace and attribute your solutions with environmental and social impact, ethical and governance compliance.
Solutions coverage can be multi-disciplinary and across sectors of real estate, construction, smart city, legal, finance and collaborative and co-opetition projects.


SELECTION PROCESS
 Paper Screening will be based on the pitch deck and a checklist of questions to prioritize which teams will be selected to the next stage. Your team will be categorised in different runways (incubation, investment and/or solution offer) according to your intention. Some teams may be followed up by different partners in this stage by providing various supports, such as incubation offers if necessary.
Screening Interview – Shortlisted teams will be invited to join the virtual interview, we will identify teams that are the most suitable solutions for our corporate partners or offer investment opportunities.
IC Meeting – Best teams from second round selection will be invited to attend our monthly investment committee meeting.
