Horizon Technology

What Horizon Technology does

Horizon Technology and Solution Limited (operating as Horizon Tech) is a privately-held, Hong Kong-based custom software development agency founded in 2013 by Fai Wong. The firm delivers bespoke digital products across four primary service categories — gamification (custom mobile/web games for corporate training, recruitment and education), web design, business application development, and Internet-of-Things solutions — supplemented by newer specialist offerings in AI workflow automation consultancy and university internal systems. Its underlying technology stack spans ReactJS, NextJS and React Native on the front end; Laravel PHP, NestJS, REST and GraphQL on the back end; MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL and MongoDB for data; AWS, Azure, Docker and Kubernetes for cloud and DevOps; and WordPress, Drupal and Strapi for content management, with AI features built on Ollama, N8N, LM Studio and MCP.

Horizon serves a concentrated mix of mid-to-large enterprise and education clients, notably Deloitte, AS Watson, Lawsgroup (D2 Place), the Hong Kong Jockey Club, and Hong Kong universities including HKU Business School and the HKU Faculty of Social Sciences, HKBU, PolyU, EduHK and Kaplan. Projects include a Kubernetes-orchestrated Course Enrolment System for HKUBS with weekly release cadence, an integrated elder-carer platform for the Jockey Club Carer Space Project consolidating five previously disjointed systems, gamified training games (Deloitte Throne Legend, Future GO), and an MMORPG-style recruitment game (Deloitte). The company also self-publishes games, with its title Working Hero achieving 200,000+ downloads and a 4.6-star rating.

Revenue is generated primarily through fixed-scope project-based engagements priced per quote, with no public pricing or recurring subscription layer disclosed. The go-to-market motion is consultative and direct — driven by WhatsApp (852 9723 2108), website contact forms and a portfolio of more than 19 public case studies — without channel partners, self-serve onboarding or marketing-led demand generation. Geographic focus is Hong Kong with a stated domestic-only operating footprint. Operating geographies: Hong Kong (HKG), East Asia.

Revenue model

1. Custom Software Development Projects: Project-based custom software development services. Clients engage Horizon Tech for defined-scope projects (gamification, web design, business applications, IoT). Revenue is earned through one-time project fees negotiated per engagement. Projects range from short-term (1.5 months for Kaytiquette e-shop) to long-term multi-year engagements (HKUBS 2022-2026). Pricing is quote-based; no public pricing is published.
2. Branded Game Development (Gamification): Custom game development for enterprise clients including training games, recruitment/evaluation games, educational games, and branded consumer games. Projects are typically bespoke engagements with deliverables such as Deloitte Throne Legend (MMORPG for 3,000 players), Future GO (talent training game), and JA Finance Park (educational web game).
3. Business Application Development: Custom web-based business applications for enterprise clients including CRM systems, booking platforms, membership systems, admission/portal systems, and data analytics dashboards. Built for clients across education, retail, healthcare, and professional services sectors.
