The Alibaba Hong Kong Entrepreneurs Fund (AEF) is a not-for-profit initiative launched by Alibaba Group in 2015, dedicated to supporting Hong Kong-based entrepreneurs and young people in realizing their business and community aspirations. AEF provides investment capital and strategic guidance to help entrepreneurs grow their businesses and penetrate global markets by leveraging Alibaba's vast ecosystem.
AEF's investment program focuses on startups in the seed to late stages, with investments ranging from US$1 million to US$10 million. The fund is sector-agnostic but has key themes including AI, Industry 4.0, consumer goods, fintech, healthcare, and sustainability. The fund's geographical focus includes Hong Kong, Taiwan, Mainland China, and other international markets.
In addition to financial support, AEF offers strategic guidance and mentorship to its portfolio companies, helping them scale and expand into other markets by leveraging resources from Alibaba Group's ecosystem.
