Viva Technology 2025: Hong Kong Tech Pavilion Empowers Startups to Expand Into European Market

Impressive Results Showcase Hong Kong's Innovation and Technology Strength - Viva Technology 2025 concluded successfully last Saturday with the Hong Kong Tech Pavilion, organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, effectively supporting local start-ups in entering the European market.- A series of events, including seminars, start-up pitching sessions, workshop and networking reception and business matching, provided a robust platform for start-ups to demonstrate Hong Kong's innovation and technology capabilities.- The participating start-ups achieved successful outcomes, including Point Fit Technology, a Hong Kong healthtech start-up, signing a Memorandum of Understanding with Kinomap, a French indoor training platform. HONG KONG - June 16, 2025 (NEWMEDIAWIRE) - Viva Technology (VivaTech) 2025 in Paris, Europe's biggest start-up and tech event, concluded last Saturday. The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), in collaboration with Strategic Partner, the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Brussels, and Supporting Organisations including Invest Hong Kong, Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP), and Hong Kong Cyberport, set up the Hong Kong Tech Pavilion. The Pavilion promoted 20 Hong Kong start-ups to investors and buyers, and hosted seminars, start-up pitching sessions, workshop and networking reception, inviting representatives from various enterprises and organisations to analyse trends in Hong Kong's start-up ecosystem. Business matching meetings were also arranged to help start-ups explore opportunities in the European market. Hong Kong tech ventures were the recipients of VivaTech awards including Ailytics Limited, which developed AI-Powered Video Surveillance Systems (AI-VSS) for operations, was awarded among the Top 30 of VivaTech Innovations of the Year Award and was also selected as one of the Top 5 winners of the Startup Challenge organised by lectricit de France (EDF). Imsight Technology, OKOsix, and Vismed Training were nominated as finalists in the VivaTech Tech for Change Award, recognising their positive impact respectively in cancer diagnostics, biomaterial composition, and medical training and care. Braillic Limited, specialising in Augmented Reality (AR) guided surgical navigation systems, was nominated in the Top 12 AI Tech Trail. AQUMON and Midas Analytics, which developed AI-driven wealth management and data analysis solutions, were nominated as the Top 12 FinTech Trail. The Hong Kong Tech Pavilion also achieved notable success. Point Fit Technology, a healthtech start-up signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Kinomap, a French indoor training platform. Point Fit's sweat sensor continuously monitors muscle fatigue without invasive blood tests, will integrate their sweat biomarker data into Kinomap's platform. This will enhance indoor training experiences and expand Point Fit's sales channels through Kinomap's global partner network. During VivaTech, Point Fit Technology's research attracted international interest. Kenny Oktavius, Co-founder & CEO of Point Fit Technology Limited, said: "Apart from signing an MoU with Kinomap, we also linked up with a top European football club, and secured key partners that will help us to further penetrate the European market." Founded in Singapore with an international office in Hong Kong, Ailytics' AI-VSS products are used to enhance safety and maximise productivity by leveraging existing cameras. The company is in discussion with EDF and will conduct a trial run at EDF's new power plants in France. Wei Zhuang Tan, CEO, Ailytics said: "We received enormous resources and support in Hong Kong, especially from HKTDC and HKSTP to expand into the international market. Through joining the Hong Kong Tech Pavilion at VivaTech, we have met customers and partners and have a deeper understanding about the requirements of French companies." Midas Analytics, which introduced its newly launched Asia Market Intelligence platform and AI Agent at VivaTech, drew strong interest from investors, analysts, and strategic partners. Founder Michele De Flippo said: "We have connected with a high-caliber audience that included institutional investors, corporate venture leaders, innovation executives from major banks and consulting firms, and decision-makers from government ecosystems. Through curated business matching sessions organised by the HKTDC and meeting with high-calibre audience, we identified multiple potential partners and expansion opportunities. The interest reinforced both the commercial potential of Midas Analytics and the clear demand in Europe for better visibility into fast-changing Asian markets." Professor Sun Dong, Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry of the HKSAR Government, attended the workshop and networking reception themed under "From Hong Kong to the World: Embarking on the New Journey of Innovation" last Friday. Highlighting that Hong Kong being an ideal gateway for global enterprises to enter the Mainland market, Professor Sun said the HKSAR Government has been actively attracting overseas and the Mainland I&T enterprises to set up or expand their businesses in Hong Kong. Companies choosing HK for the international headquarters exemplify Hong Kong's important role as a "super connector" and a "super value-adder" between Mainland China and the rest of the world, serving as a two-way springboard for attracting overseas enterprises and helping Mainland enterprises to "go global". The subsequent discussions explored the strengths of Hong Kong's innovation ecosystem, and how to leverage Hong Kong's advantages to seize new opportunities. Cindy Chow, Executive Director & CEO of Alibaba Entrepreneurs Fund, together viAct, Sandbox VR, and Orcauboat founders, shared their success stories leveraging Hong Kong as the platform for global expansion. Chapman Lee, Director of Imsight Technology Co., Limited, highlighted the strengths of Hong Kong's R&D capabilities and access to international investment. According to the Global Startup Ecosystem Report 2025 by Startup Genome, a research institute, during VivaTech 2025, Hong Kong entered the Top 40 ranking for the first time. The ecosystem jumped 20 positions to 27th in the 2025 ranking. The HKTDC continues to lead Hong Kong businesses in participating in major international tech exhibitions, helping local start-ups expand overseas and reinforcing Hong Kong's position as a global innovation and technology hub. Following the Consumer Electronic Show 2025 in Las Vegas and Mobile World Congress in Barcelona earlier this year, HKTDC once again organised the Hong Kong Tech Pavilion at VivaTech in Paris, providing an effective platform for start-ups to showcase innovations, attract investment, and explore the European market. The 9th edition of VivaTech attracted more than 14,000 start-ups, 180,000 visitors, and 3,600 investors from 171 countries and regions. Industry leaders from around the world shared unique insights, further making the event a key highlight of the global tech ecosystem.

11 startups from YC Demo Day that investors are talking about

At Y Combinator's Spring 2025 Demo Day on Wednesday, nearly every presenting startup had something to do with AI — they're either developing AI agents or creating tools to facilitate their development. Indeed, several founders seem to be taking a leaf out of the pages of several successful AI startups: about half a dozen startups were presenting variations of 'Cursor for X.' For example, Den is building a 'Cursor for knowledge workers,' and Vessence is on its way to make a 'Cursor for lawyers.' It wasn't all only about AI, though. We noticed several startups are working on robotics, which seems to be having a bit of a revival at the moment. Below are some of the startups that caught both investors' and our attention. Anvil What it does: SEO for LLMs Why it's a fave: How people search for content is changing, with folks using various AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity to find content. Understandably, brands need to find a way to increase their visibility on these platforms. Anvil claims it helps brands measure, optimize and increase their presence on these AI tools. Atum Works What it does: Builds 3D chips Techcrunch event Save $200+ on your TechCrunch All Stage pass Build smarter. Scale faster. Connect deeper. Join visionaries from Precursor Ventures, NEA, Index Ventures, Underscore VC, and beyond for a day packed with strategies, workshops, and meaningful connections.

Join visionaries from Precursor Ventures, NEA, Index Ventures, Underscore VC, and beyond for a day packed with strategies, workshops, and meaningful connections. Boston, MA | REGISTER NOW Why it's a fave: Transistors aren't getting smaller as fast as they used to, so Atum's founders propose the best new way to put more transistors on a chip, and therefore increase processing power, is to stack them in three dimensions. Investors told me that Atum's vision is so revolutionary that the company has a chance to become the next NVIDIA. Auctor What it does: Automates enterprise software implementation Why it's a fave: The startup says prominent software vendors like SAP, ServiceNow, AWS and Box have already reached out to use Auctor's solution themselves and potentially for help with integrating software at customer sites. Cactus What it does: AI copilot for solopreneurs Why it's a fave: Cactus says people who run businesses all by themselves are often too busy to pursue new opportunities. The startup says its AI bot can take off some of the load by answering calls and accepting payments on your behalf. Den What it does: Cursor for enterprise knowledge workers Why it's a fave: Investors told me this is one of the hottest companies in the batch. Den promises its AI agents can replace Slack and Notion, enabling a company's employees to interact and share information with software tailored to each enterprise's specific needs. Eloquent AI What it does: Automates customer operations with AI Why it's a fave: Eloquent says its AI bots can help customers of financial services companies do things like automatically unfreeze bank accounts or add drivers to car insurance policies. In other words, Eloquent promises an end to long waits for human customer service. The startup claims financial companies can deploy its AI near instantly without needing to involve internal engineering teams. Eloquent has already raised 'a large seed round,' Tugce Bulut, the startup's co-founder and CEO said on the TBPN podcast. LLM Data Company What it does: Tooling for evaluation and reinforcement learning Why it's a fave: Evaluating all the new AI tools for quality is snowballing into a big, difficult problem. LLM Data Company says it can help with its own LLMs that can evaluate the quality of an AI agent, and it's already working with customers including Perplexity. Scalar Field What it does: AI-powered Bloomberg terminal Why it's a fave: 'Terminals are dashboards and not thinking tools,' says Amandeep Singh, co-founder of Scalar Field. While the startup's AI agents won't 'think' for you, it claims they can manipulate financial data with more flexibility than existing financial tools. Sygaldry What it does: Quantum accelerated AI servers to speed up AI training and inference Why it's a fave: While a fully functioning quantum computer may still be years away, the industry has been making progress. What caught my eye about Sygaldry is that its co-founder and CEO is Chad Rigetti, who founded and took his company public via a SPAC in 2021. Vybe What it does: Vibe coding to build applications Why it's a fave: Investors who saw a demo of Vybe building apps told me that it can create all sorts of cool tools. One person I talked to even called it a 'clear winner' of the batch.

Can (and should) the U.S. Treasury Department manage federal student loans?

The U.S. Department of the Treasury is a better match than the Small Business Administration (SBA) for collecting federal student loans, but not ideal. The U.S. Treasury's pilot collection program for defaulted federal student loans underperformed private collection agencies due to leniency. Using the wage withholding system for student loan payments to reduce defaults and collection costs is feasible but complex. Solutions for wage withholding involve modifying repayment plans to be based solely on earned income. The federal student loan portfolio is currently managed by Federal Student Aid (FSA) within the U.S. Department of Education. There are proposals to shift this responsibility to other agencies, such as the U.S. Department of the Treasury, as suggested by The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 Proposal, or the Small Business Administration (SBA), which the Trump administration has championed. Let's explore the feasibility of having the U.S. Department of the Treasury manage the federal student loan portfolio, perhaps by leveraging the U.S. tax system for direct loan collection. The Small Business Administration (SBA) presents a significant mismatch for managing the federal student loan portfolio. The SBA's core expertise lies in facilitating business lending, primarily through a guaranteed loan program where private banks issue loans and the government offers protection against default. So, the SBA has minimal experience in managing a large-scale federal direct loan program. The guaranteed loan model stands in stark contrast to the vast majority of the federal student loan portfolio, where all new loans are originated through the Direct Loan Program. Only about 10 percent of federal student loan dollars remain in the FFEL program, a guaranteed student loan program that ended in 2010. Furthermore, the sheer scale and inherent complexity of the federal student loan portfolio — which involves extensive customer service demands for millions of borrowers — dwarf the operational scope of the SBA's existing loan programs. Learn more: SBA loan statistics In contrast, the U.S. Department of the Treasury has expertise in managing money and direct interactions with the public, particularly through its tax collection functions. The U.S. Treasury already plays a role in federal debt recovery via the Treasury Offset Program (TOP), which collects defaulted federal student loans. Moreover, federal student loan interest rates are based on the 10-year Treasury Note, and the loans themselves are ultimately funded by the U.S. Treasury. However, a 2014-2015 pilot project designed to test the Treasury's effectiveness in collecting defaulted federal student loans went poorly. This randomized trial, influenced by proposed legislation, evaluated the 'efficiency and effectiveness' of Bureau of the Fiscal Service employees as potential debt collectors and used private collection agencies (PCAs) as a control group. The trial revealed that the U.S. Treasury achieved a mere 4 percent success rate in collecting defaulted loans, significantly underperforming the control group's 5.5 percent success rate. Additionally, the cost incurred by the Treasury for these collections was greater than that of the PCAs. Collecting federal student loans is more complicated than collecting other federal debts. Additionally, the Treasury was not as aggressive as the private collection agencies (PCAs) and they did not do enough to get the borrowers on the phone. Initially, the Treasury limited borrower contact to a maximum of one call per week, far fewer than the typical collection agency. The Treasury also did not threaten wage garnishment during the first 11 months of trying to collect a defaulted federal student loan. After the Treasury sent out wage garnishment notices, call-in rates tripled and 22 percent of these borrowers engaged in discussions about repayment options. This summer, 5.3 million defaulted borrowers will receive a notice from the Treasury that their earnings will be subject to administrative wage garnishment. Learn more The idea of integrating student loan collections into the wage withholding system, as some countries do, was explored in a 1995 feasibility study. Doing so would give the Treasury a powerful tool for collecting student loan payments. However, launching such a system in the U.S. would be complex: Income-driven repayment (IDR) plans and AGI: Income-driven repayment plans are based on adjusted gross income (AGI) from a prior tax year, which includes both earned and unearned income. Employers, however, only have information about a borrower's current earned income, not unearned income. Withholding based on AGI would require a complicated and impractical annual reconciliation process due to the variability of unearned income. Multiple jobs: Some taxpayers have multiple jobs, which could complicate withholding calculations if payments are based on total or discretionary income, as employers may not be aware of other employment or spousal income. Family size and dependents: Some income-driven repayment plans, such as Income-Contingent Repayment, Income-Based Repayment and Pay As You Earn, factor in family size or the number of dependents. Employers typically do not have this information. Despite these challenges, there are several solutions that could adapt the student loan repayment plans to better fit a withholding system. Basing income-driven repayment on earned income: Basing income-driven repayment plans solely on earned income, rather than AGI, would simplify withholding. Analysis of 2022 IRS Statistics of Income shows that earned income represents a substantial portion of AGI for low- and moderate-income borrowers (e.g., 88 percent for AGI under $50,000 and 81 percent for AGI under $100,000), suggesting minimal impact on payments for these groups. Borrowers with very high AGI ($500,000 or more) who have a low percentage of earned income could potentially be limited to a standard repayment plan. Borrower disclosure of family size: Borrowers could inform employers about their family size or the number of dependents, mirroring the current W-4 form process. Self-reporting of level payment amounts: Borrowers on a level repayment plan, such as standard repayment, could provide their employers with their monthly payment amount. Employers would withhold the higher of this amount or a percentage of earned income. Ending withholding: Borrowers could present their employers with a zero-balance statement from the federal government to halt withholdings. There are several benefits of using the wage withholding system to collect student loan payments. It would avoid the cost of collections, which is over $1 billion a year, and significantly reduce default rates. Furthermore, this system would base payments on current income, as opposed to prior income, naturally adjusting to income fluctuations. It is conceptually similar to administrative wage garnishment (AWG), which is based on 15 percent of disposable income. The current administration must weigh proposals to shift the oversight of the federal student loan portfolio to another federal agency, such as the U.S. Treasury or the Small Business Administration. The Treasury has more relevant experience and expertise than the SBA. It has an existing role in federal debt recovery and more experience in providing customer service to consumers. Past studies indicate that transferring responsibility for collecting on federal student loans to the Treasury might not yield the same outcomes as the Education Department's current system. However, integrating student loan collections into the wage withholding system, while complex to implement, might reduce default rates and save on collection costs. Current federal student loan borrowers should know that none of these proposed changes are set in stone and none will happen without warning. Shifting oversight over the federal student loan portfolio to another federal agency will require an act of Congress.
