Can you imagine what Hong Kong will look like 10 or 20 years from now? By that time, can we still rely on the four major industries currently accounting for nearly 60 percent of GDP – trading and logistics, tourism, financial services, and professional services – and continue to enjoy prosperity and stability with a per capita GDP still among the world’s top 20, higher than Germany, Canada or the United Kingdom?

Have you ever wondered why Hong Kong as an international financial center is unable to produce even one financial technology (fintech) “unicorn"? That is: a startup with a valuation of over $1 billion. Meanwhile, mainland China has 17 unicorns with a total valuation exceeding $111 billion, according to Hurun Greater China Unicorn Index released last month. Two international consultants, KPMG and McKinsey, also confirmed China’s leading position in the global fintech arena.

内地估值達10億美元的初創企業（又稱「獨角獸」）達80多間，佔全球同類初創的43%市值；其中金融科技（FinTech）的獨角獸總值高踞14個行業之首，超過7,000億人民幣。為什麽號稱與紐約、倫敦並列為國際金融中心的香港，卻成就不了揚名國際的金融科技獨角獸？

胡潤研究院上月發表的《大中華獨角獸指數》，列出120家「獨角獸」（估值超過10億美元的未上市初創企業），整體估值超過3萬億元人民幣；其中互聯網金融異軍突起，獨角獸總估值超過7000億元人民幣，為14個行業之首。顧問公司KPMG的全球50大金融科技企業中，頭3名亦全是中國的公司。每次看到這些資訊，我都不禁納悶，怎麼香港這個世界金融中心，不但金融科技，連其他行業也少有獨角獸的蹤跡！
