Canary Wharf accelerator space Level39 has opened a tech trade route to Hong Kong, through a partnership with Asian startup incubator Nest.
The agreement links two of the world's largest fintech hubs in Asia and Europe, with the aim of providing a seamless opportunity for ambitious startups to scale for international growth.
The link-up will see Nest and Level39 sharing office space and providing transplanted startups with a local support network and mentorship to help their businesses get off the ground.
Simon Squibb, CEO of Nest says: “We see startups from Europe wanting to get into Asia and we see startups in Asia wanting to get into Europe, so this partnership allows us to leverage the resources of both organisations to help founders in our respective markets and ensure their ideas reach their full potential."
