About HTribe
HTribe helps engineers, makers and companies build hardware, from hiring engineers to product development, prototyping, testing and manufacturing. We run projects from our base in Hong Kong, working with specialists from our international network and manufacturing partners in Southern China.
Our Mission
HTribe exists to simplify hardware development. Building physical technology requires multidisciplinary skills, specialized tools, manufacturing expertise, and the right connections.
We bring all of that together in one ecosystem so you can focus on what matters: building great hardware.
At the workbench. The best way to understand hardware is to build it.
Our Vision
To be the go-to ecosystem for hardware innovation in Asia and beyond. We envision a world where anyone with a hardware idea can access the community, tools, and services they need to bring it to life.
Starting from Hong Kong and Southern China, the world's tech manufacturing hub, we're building toward that future every day.
Why HTribe Exists
Hardware development in Hong Kong and Southern China is fragmented. We identified the key challenges holding builders back and built HTribe to address them.
Engineers work in silos
A free community where hardware professionals, students, and enthusiasts collaborate across disciplines.
Reliable design partners are scarce
End-to-end design services covering mechanical, electronics, PCB, firmware, prototyping, and manufacturing.
Beginners lack a starting point
Events, workshops, and a welcoming network give newcomers direct access to experienced professionals.
Makerspaces are fragmented
A unified directory of partner makerspaces with exclusive member discounts and a planned universal access pass.
Sourcing is opaque
Members share trusted supplier contacts, real quotes, and honest factory experience, so finding the right partner starts with a recommendation instead of a cold search.
Opportunities stay hidden
Members connect with potential employers, collaborators, and paid project opportunities through the network.
