The article pointed out that developing Web3+ has both advantages and new challenges. The Hong Kong government has taken an important step in the direction of developing Web3 and the digital economy by formulating a short- to medium-term strategic development blueprint, ensuring that policies and resources are in place, and promoting the construction of Web3+ application scenarios. Focusing on Web3, establishing an international innovation financing platform can not only help Hong Kong leverage its traditional financial advantages, but also help it become a global digital technology center. It is suggested to refer to the mature mode of existing enterprises' IPOs in Hong Kong, provide an innovative financing model for Web3, and create a market trend and service competitive advantage to promote the development of the industry and attract upstream and downstream of the industry chain at home and abroad to gather in Hong Kong.
