Hong Kong’s technology hub, Cyberport, has reached a 50% occupancy rate for its newly completed fifth-phase expansion. According to Cyberport chairman Simon Chan Sai-ming, the expansion adds 66,000 square metres of office space to the facility. Among the new tenants are major technology firms, including Lenovo and BrainCo.

The expansion is part of a broader strategic effort to align Cyberport with Hong Kong’s inaugural five-year plan. The hub is positioning itself as a central engine for the city's economic growth, with a specific focus on artificial intelligence as a primary industry pillar. Beyond leasing office space, the organization is prioritizing the expansion of local talent training programs and the improvement of cross-border data governance frameworks to facilitate regional tech integration.

While the announcement highlights the successful recruitment of mainland Chinese tech companies as tenants, the report does not provide specific details regarding the remaining 50% of the space or the timeline for reaching full capacity. The initiative reflects the government's ongoing push to solidify Hong Kong's status as a regional innovation and technology center.
