Mainland Chinese technology companies that have recently listed on Hong Kong’s stock exchange are increasingly engaging with the city to leverage its extensive capital markets and global connectivity. This strategic move allows them to refine products, establish international partnerships, and expand their reach overseas. For Yunji Technology, a service robot maker based in Beijing, Hong Kong has become a crucial gateway to global markets since its October listing. According to Xie Yunpeng, the company’s chief development officer, Hong Kong provides essential connections to business opportunities, capital, research partners, and diverse consumer habits. These factors have helped Yunji prepare its products for international deployment. The city serves as a testing ground for Yunji’s service robots, with successful deployments in Hong Kong seen as indicative of performance in markets outside mainland China. The company is targeting its overseas expansion towards Southeast Asia, the Middle East, the US, and parts of East Asia.
