This initiative, announced by Chief Executive John Lee, aims to capitalize on the growing global interest in the space sector, spurred by companies like SpaceX. The Hong Kong stock exchange will consult on rule changes in the first half of next year, potentially increasing competition with the Shanghai Stock Exchange, which currently leads in attracting space-related IPOs.
