AppTask also has clients ranging from local to multinational companies such as MTR, McDonalds, Hong Kong Disneyland, and Red Bull.

I strongly believe in sharing”
Roy Law, Chairman of WTIA
If there was one thing that he would like to give as a key to success, it would be to “share” as seen through his experiences in 2015 from being in Silicon Valley where sharing ideas is very common. It is unlike other places in the world where businesses tend to keep their business ideas or strategies to themselves in fear of them being stolen. Silicon Valley, an entrepreneurial ecosystem, is where many startups share their ideas in order to get feedback and can become successful. Sharing, therefore, is a great way to succeed as stated by Mr. Law.
