In a recent South China Morning Post (SCMP) article, EVIDENT's partnership with UAE's Zand Bank was highlighted as a prime example of InvestHK's effective support in global business expansion. The article, titled "Supporting role: how InvestHK is driving Hong Kong firms’ global growth," outlines the strategic shift by InvestHK from focusing solely on attracting investments to actively supporting Hong Kong-based companies in their overseas growth.

EVIDENT Group, a licensed, institutional digital market infrastructure platform connecting private wealth managers and their clients with alternative investment opportunities from leading asset managers successfully partnered with Zand Bank—the UAE’s pioneering fully licensed digital bank. This collaboration will allow Zand Bank’s clientele access to investment opportunities via EVIDENT's advanced tokenisation technology and digital market infrastructure.

Florian M Spiegl, Founder and CEO of EVIDENT, credited InvestHK with playing an instrumental role in arranging critical meetings that significantly expedited the partnership process. According to Mr. Spiegl, InvestHK’s proactive approach facilitated direct engagement with Zand Bank’s CEO, a crucial step that typically requires lengthy coordination.

This partnership aligns seamlessly with EVIDENT’s strategic vision to democratize access to institutional-grade alternative investments, including private credit and infrastructure assets, through innovative tokenised solutions.

InvestHK's evolving role as described by Alpha Lau Hai-suen, Director General of InvestHK, underscores Hong Kong’s dual function as both a global superconnector and value-adder, helping firms leverage the city's credibility, regulatory robustness, and financial infrastructure to expand internationally.

EVIDENT, a resident fintech innovator at Hong Kong’s Cyberport, continues to capitalize on the city's strategic advantages, benefiting from Hong Kong's unique positioning and InvestHK's robust support network.
