Recently, Asian Legal Business (ALB) officially published the "ALB Hong Kong Initial Public Offering Handbook 2026." This handbook aims to provide comprehensive guidance on a range of issues companies may encounter on their path to listing in Hong Kong, covering professional advice from listing requirements to the latest industry developments. Llinks was invited to author the opening chapter of the handbook—Chapter 1: HKEX as a Premium Financing Platform for IPO Capital-Raising.
As a bridge connecting China and the world, the Hong Kong capital market has consistently demonstrated strong resilience and fundraising appeal. With the evolution of the global economic environment and the continuous optimization of the HKEX listing regime, the Hong Kong capital market has become a vital choice for companies in sectors such as the new economy, green environmental protection, new consumption, and specialist technology to access international capital and achieve high-quality development.
Llinks Hong Kong Office managing partner Mr. Dennis Fong and partner Mr. Bosco Leung, have jointly participated in the compilation of the handbook. Drawing on their years of profound IPO practical experience and deep insights into Hong Kong's function as an international financial center, the two partners provided a detailed analysis of Hong Kong's unique advantages as a premium fundraising platform. From in-depth analyses of innovative listing pathways, such as those for biotechnology and specialist technology, to a comprehensive review of IPO market performance in the first half of 2025, the chapter systematically analyzes how HKEX has built a resilient and vibrant capital ecosystem through institutional reforms.
