With a commitment to becoming a world-class smart city, Hong Kong has witnessed a remarkable surge in technological advancements, propelling itself into a thriving hub of creativity and innovation. The city’s flourishing market, combined with its strategic geographical location in Asia, has captivated Visionaries 777, a French interactive software development company, to establish its headquarters here. The company specialises in providing augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) solutions to clients across various industries. Recently, Visionaries 777 has developed an AR management system, designed to optimise efficiency in training, maintenance work, and inspection for its clients. The system has been used by a number of clients from the property sector in Hong Kong and won the IFMA Asia Pacific Awards of Excellence 2023: Best Facility Management Technology Award.

Fueling Entrepreneurship in Hong Kong

According to Nicolas Guyon, Co-Founder of Visionaries 777, Hong Kong is an ideal destination for businesses, and there are not many places that can easily match its offerings. “We established our headquarters in Hong Kong in 2012. The city has a simple and efficient company registration process, enabling entrepreneurs to set up their businesses quickly and easily. Additionally, Hong Kong offers a low tax rate and simple tax regime, further enhancing its appeal for businesses operating in the city,” Guyon said.

“Hong Kong has a vibrant ecosystem of innovation and entrepreneurship,” emphasised Guyon. “The city fosters creativity and the cultivation of new ideas, creating an environment that is highly conducive for startups and tech companies to thrive.” He further highlighted the availability of a rich talent pool in Hong Kong, which enables them to attract and hire high-caliber professionals graduated from local universities. Guyon added that their Hong Kong office plays a crucial role in project management, design and development, as well as research and development (R&D) activities, supporting various aspects of their operations.

Expanding Business Horizon

Since its establishment, Visionaries 777 has been gaining momentum in Hong Kong. Frantz Lasorne, Co-Founder of Visionaries 777, stated, “Recently, we have developed an AR management system called Inspekly, which utilises spatial computing and AR technologies to enable our clients to seamlessly integrate real-time data into their physical surroundings, revolutionising the way they interact with information. This helps them transform their operations and gain a competitive edge in today’s digital and fast-paced market.” He added that the system is adaptable to various industries, attracting clients from Hong Kong, Japan, France, Germany, and Mexico.

Looking ahead, the company will continue to grow Inspekly’s business and has plans to expand its team. Moreover, it will continue investing in cutting-edge R&D to ensure that it remains at the forefront of technology and creativity.

On a personal note, Guyon has lived in Hong Kong for more than 10 years and appreciates the city’s vibrant living culture. For him, the world-class infrastructure, global connectivity, and Hong Kong’s strikingly beautiful natural scenery are also cited as compelling reasons to call this city home.
