Staff it, draft it, improve it, or build it. One team from the first sketch to mass manufacturing in Shenzhen and the Greater Bay Area, covering industrial design, mechanical, electronics, PCB, firmware, IoT and prototyping.
Pick the one that matches where you are: staffing up, prototyping a concept, refining a design, or getting ready to manufacture. Not sure which fits? Tell us where you are and we will point you to the right one.
Add engineering capacity to your own team to build your hardware. Either hired directly or contracted via HTribe.
For: Companies that need hands, not a project
Turn a concept into working hardware you can put in front of users, investors or your own board.
For: Founders and corporate teams with a concept
Take something that almost works and make it reliable, manufacturable and ready to ship.
For: Anyone with a prototype that almost works
Move from a finished design to units coming off the line, with the right factory and someone checking the output.
For: Teams ready for production
A structured program for early stage hardware teams: mentoring, prototyping support and manufacturing access in one place. Join the waitlist and we will let you know when applications open.
We will only email you about XLR8.
Disciplines under one roof
We treat every project with strict confidentiality and are happy to sign an NDA before any discussion begins. Every specialist working on your project is bound by the same terms through HTribe.
Hong Kong's intellectual property laws are among the strongest in Asia, so the paperwork you sign here has real weight behind it.
Whichever service you choose, the work follows the same four steps. Join at the one you have reached.
Share your idea. We evaluate feasibility, define scope and plan the path forward.
Detailed CAD, electronics schematics, PCB layout and firmware architecture.
Working prototypes, real tests, and iteration based on results and your feedback.
DFM review and production support through our Southern China manufacturing network.
Projects are run from Hong Kong and manufactured in Shenzhen and the wider Greater Bay Area, a short trip across the border.
Your project runs through HTribe in Hong Kong, with one contract, one point of contact and an NDA backed by Hong Kong IP law.
Design and engineering are done by specialists from our network in Hong Kong and abroad, matched to what your product needs.
For production we work with partners in Shenzhen and the wider Greater Bay Area, with DFM review and production support throughout.
A few of the experts in our wider network. Draft it, Improve it and Build it run through HTribe as a single engagement: we scope the brief, sign the NDA, match you with the right people and manage delivery. One point of contact, one contract, one team accountable. Staff it places these same engineers inside your team, with HTribe sharing the management.

Get in TouchHTribe is based in Hong Kong. We run projects from here and work with a manufacturing network in Shenzhen and the wider Greater Bay Area of Southern China.
Yes. Build it covers the whole path: concept, design, prototyping, testing and production support. If you already have a design or a prototype, you can start at the stage you have reached.
Yes. Teams outside Hong Kong work with us to get engineering and manufacturing support close to the factories in Shenzhen.
You do. We are happy to sign an NDA before any discussion begins, and every specialist on your project is bound by the same terms through HTribe.
Yes. Staff it places engineers from our network inside your team, with HTribe sharing the management.
