The software and software services sector in Hong Kong is usually regarded as part of the larger information technology services industry. Because Hong Kong is an international business center, software companies are working alongside multinational corporations in all areas of business and provide software solutions for their specific needs.

 

Hong Kong has a mature ICT market and an advanced telecommunications infrastructure. Software-as-a-service (SaaS) is rapidly gaining popularity and it is the software model in which a license is delivered upon request, meaning that third-party providers make certain software services available to clients via the internet. 

 

An important advantage for those investors who start a software company in Hong Kong is that the city is located very close to Mainland China, which offers access to a large and growing market.
