Designated as a “State-level Scientific and Technological Enterprise Incubator,” Cyberport hosts over 2,200 I&T ventures, focuses on specialised I&T fields such as AI, data science, blockchain, and cybersecurity to drive intelligent upgrading across industries. In the past year, 27 listed companies, unicorns, and soonicorns have set up operations at Cyberport, joining the more than 440 companies that have moved into the campus. To date, it has nurtured 11 listed companies and 10 unicorns. Its community companies have collectively raised over HK$46.2 billion, expanded into more than 35 markets across the Mainland and overseas, received upwards of 1,750 industry awards, and secured placements in over 280 global accelerator programmes.

The forthcoming Cyberport 5 structure will rise ten storeys along the northwest edge of the revitalised waterfront park, encompassing 66,000 square metres across 1.6 hectares of prime sea-view real estate. Located beside the new AI supercomputing centre and home to the Hong Kong Internet Exchange, Cyberport 5 features a Tier III+ sustainable data centre on every floor, dual-path single-mode dark fibre risers for near-unlimited bandwidth, multi-cloud on-ramps, and 10 Gbps broadband to support the most demanding AI, blockchain, and IoT workloads.

Flexible workspaces covering 36,000 square metres enable agile reconfiguration as research demands evolve. Sky-bridges link to the wider campus, while breakout zones, outdoor terraces, and a waterfront promenade encourage cross-disciplinary dialogue. A multifunction hall accommodating up to 800 attendees, equipped with automated AV and live broadcasting capabilities, anchors the building’s ground-level programming.

“Cyberport 5 offers more extensive and vibrant spaces for technology enterprises, enabling Hong Kong to foster new productive forces and drive the development of strategic emerging industries, it will reinforce Hong Kong’s position as a global hub for innovation and technology,” said Simon Chan, Chairman of Hong Kong Cyberport Management Company Ltd.

It also demonstrates cutting-edge innovation through market-leading technology, processes, and automation to deliver world-class outcomes for all building users, while creating a more efficient, inspirational, sustainable, and resilient building. Fewer than a dozen buildings in Hong Kong—and under 2 percent worldwide—hold this Double Platinum status, solidifying Cyberport 5’s place among the elite of future-ready properties.
