Aspire, a leading financial operating platform for businesses, commemorated its launch in Hong Kong with an exclusive closed-door event. The company welcomed its closest partners, valued clients, potential prospects, and esteemed representatives from key government associations to commemorate its expansion into Hong Kong, one of Asia’s most renowned financial centers.

The event was graced by the presence of over 100 distinguished guests. The roster included executives from notable institutions such as InvestHK, Hong Kong Science Park, Cyberport, and the Fintech Association.

Giovanni Casinelli, Co-Founder of Aspire, briefly spoke about the company’s vision to empower businesses in Hong Kong to unlock potential and scale globally with its integrated financial operating system.

“Hong Kong represents an integral part of our growth strategy for the Asia-Pacific region, as it is our first venture outside of South East Asia,” said Casinelli at the event. “We are thrilled to establish operations in this world-class financial hub and collaborate with Hong Kong’s vibrant startup and business ecosystem to take a step forward in our company’s mission of removing the friction of money for businesses.”

Speaking at the event, King Leung, Global Head of Financial Services and Fintech at InvestHK, “We are excited to welcome Aspire to Hong Kong and support their mission to empower SMEs with seamless financial solutions. We are very grateful that capable companies like Aspire choose Hong Kong as a place of expansion. I’m confident its presence will further strengthen our city’s status as a leading global fintech hub.”
