Three co-founders with complementary expertise spanning entrepreneurship, international trade, technology and business development.

Ricardo Ferrer

Ricardo Ferrer is a Barcelona-based entrepreneur and real estate professional with deep connections in both the Spanish and Hong Kong business communities. He founded SPHKBA to build the institutional infrastructure that Spanish companies need to reach Asia efficiently.

With direct relationships at Cyberport, HKSTP, InvestHK and OASES, Ricardo has spent years developing the trusted networks that SPHKBA members now access. He leads the association’s strategic direction, institutional partnerships and startup pipeline development.

Ricardo also operates Ferrer & Co, a soft-landing and facilitation vehicle that helps Spanish deep-tech companies establish themselves in Hong Kong and access Mainland China through the right institutional channels.
