Who we are.

We were proud to launch HKEX Foundation to coincide with the 20th anniversary of HKEX as a listed company, further deepening our commitment to the communities in which we operate.

Funded by direct contributions from HKEX, private and corporate donations, and funds raised through HKEX's Stock Code for Charity Scheme, our charitable foundation drives and inspires change through programmes that build better lives and a better community.

HKEX Foundation is a recognised charitable entity set-up under Section 88 of the Inland Revenue Ordinance of Hong Kong.

Research Funding Scheme

The HKEX Research Funding Scheme aims to help develop future talent and the local R&D scene by supporting innovative research projects in Hong Kong universities. Given HKEX's position in financial markets, the projects should ideally focus on new ideas and technologies that support the fields of finance, business, biotechnology and ESG.
