Perseus, a managed services, co-location and high-speed connectivity provider, has opened a regional headquarters in Hong Kong to serve Asian markets that “have been growing exponentially,” says Jock Percy, CEO of the New York-based vendor, in a prepared statement.
“Hong Kong is at the center of that growth and Perseus has been planning to expand our operations here for several years to capitalize on this potential,” Percy says.
Percy adds that the Hong Kong regional headquarters will help the company gain access into the mainland market as it serves as “a launching pad for obtaining market share across China and further into the Asian markets.”
Invest Hong Kong (InvestHK) picked Perseus as one of the 2014 StartmeupHK Venture Program grand prize winners and that helped the vendor make the move, Percy adds. “While we’ve always envisioned having a presence in Hong Kong, this prestigious accolade reinforced that … our services are important to both the larger financial institutions and the smaller startups.”
InvestHK is a department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government. It was established in July 2000 to attract foreign direct investment and support overseas and mainland businesses to set up or expand in Hong Kong. Simon Galpin, director-general of investment promotion at InvestHK, says that Perseus is among the “many startups from the StartmeupHK Venture Program with plans to set up in Hong Kong. Its arrival will benefit Hong Kong in terms of fintech know-how as well as direct and indirect jobs created.”
