We are thrilled to invite HKSOA members to attend the grand finale of The Captain’s Table during Hong Kong Maritime Week 2026.

The Captain’s Table is more than a competition; it’s where bold ideas meet industry opportunity. As a live pitch competition and accelerator for maritime and logistics startups, we bring together industry leaders, government bodies, investors, and our growing alumni network to help shape the future of the industry.

Now in its 7th edition, this year’s finale will take place at the stunning new Cyberport 5 waterfront venue. Six outstanding finalists will take the stage to pitch their game-changing solutions to an expert judging panel and a live audience, competing for the coveted title of The Captain’s Table Winner, a USD30,000 cash prize, investment opportunities, and a range of valuable industry awards. We will also have speed pitches and a chance to meet some emerging startups during the tea breaks.

And the excitement doesn’t stop there.

Following the competition, join us for the Hong Kong Maritime Week 10th Anniversary Cocktail Celebration. Expect live music, great food and drinks, spectacular sea views, and exceptional networking opportunities on the terrace. Plus, our much-loved pre-Christmas lucky draw returns!

Tickets are always highly sought after with 50% already gone, so we encourage early registration. Complimentary shuttle services will operate between Central and Cyberport throughout the afternoon and evening.
