03 — How it can work
Three ways a team in Hong Kong can work with yours.
Illustrative scenarios, not client cases. Send us yours.
- 01
Early-hours support
Support and operations engineers pick up tickets and alerts from about 02:00–03:00 German time, so the morning in Germany starts with a triaged queue.
- 02
Data and AI next to your GPU project
Python engineers for data pipelines and ML engineering, working alongside a team that builds on GPU infrastructure.
- 03
A pilot sprint before any commitment
Two to four weeks at a fixed scope on a real backlog, then you decide whether a day-rate block or a standing team makes sense.

Public holidays

Language
Teams work in English; Cantonese is the everyday language in the city. German-speaking coordination can be arranged on request.
- 03
Typhoons and heavy rain
In severe typhoons or heavy-rain warnings, work in Hong Kong can be restricted. Agree in advance how the teams continue remotely in such cases.
- 04
Personal data from the EU
If a team in Hong Kong gets access to personal data from the EU, that is a transfer to a third country under the GDPR (Chapter V). As of October 2026, Hong Kong is not on the European Commission's list of adequacy decisions, so suitable safeguards such as standard contractual clauses and restricted access rights are needed. Clarify this before the project starts.
