🍷✨ Yorkseed Bridge: Where East Meets West (and the Drinks Flow)

We wrapped up an incredible Yorkseed Bridge Day with a rooftop evening that brought together founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders from both East and West 🌏 — all under one New York skyline supported by HKTDC - NYC Office and CLA.

Co-hosted with Elpis Labs, the night was all about real connection, collaboration, and cross-border energy. From early morning panels to late-night conversations, October 28th was a full day of dialogue, discovery, and deal flow — proof that when visionaries meet with intention, the bridge between ideas and opportunity becomes unstoppable.

💬 “When the right people meet, borders blur, ideas expand, and the future feels a little closer.”
