Hong Kong, June 24, 2024 – Aspire, a leading financial operating platform for businesses, commemorated its launch in Hong Kong with an exclusive closed-door event last night. 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.
