Hong Kong — Your Go Global Launchpad
To better support Mainland enterprises in going global, Hong Kong’s overseas offices, including those under InvestHK, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, and Hong Kong offices on the Mainland, will be integrated to set up a one-stop platform, the GoGlobal Task Force, to proactively attract Mainland enterprises seeking to “go global” via Hong Kong. The GoGlobal Task Force was officially launched on 6 October.
Officiated by the Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Mr Paul Chan, the launch ceremony brought together over 100 representatives from organisations of the GoGlobal Task Force and partners from various industries, including legal, accounting, financial services, banking, chambers, and professional organisations. These parties are the core support for the GoGlobal Task Force, working together to assist Mainland enterprises in going global.
The GoGlobal Task Force, led by the Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, Mr Algernon Yau, will coordinate efforts across various policy bureaus, departments and agencies to provide stronger and more comprehensive support for the overseas expansion of Mainland enterprises, particularly into the Global South.
GoGlobal Task Force Key Features
High-level Coordination
A mechanism at the top tier of the government structure will be established to ensure a strategic, macro-level perspective, efficient communication and swift execution
Collaborative Strengths
Beyond relevant government bureaux and departments, the task force will work closely with public institutions, professional bodies, chambers of commerce and business organisations. This collaboration allows us to pool expertise, generate ideas and create powerful synergies
Proactive Engagement
The task force will actively encourage Mainland enterprises to leverage Hong Kong as a platform for overseas expansion. It will also mobilise stakeholders across various sectors to maximise impact and effectiveness through diverse range of initiatives
Director-General of Investment Promotion, Ms Alpha Lau said, “The GoGlobal Task Force, leveraging the global networks and extensive experience of our partners, will work together to make Hong Kong as their base for Mainland enterprises to go global. This will inject new impetus into our economy and consolidate and enhance Hong Kong’s status as the ‘three centres and a hub’”.
The GoGlobal Task Force Steering Committee held its first meeting on 14 October to discuss the overall strategies of the GoGlobal Task Force for the future, as well as related publicity and promotion work.
InvestHK will be responsible for co-ordinating the GoGlobal Task Force’s efforts. It will also provide free, one-stop assistance to support Mainland enterprises’ global expansion.

Northern Metropolis: Prime Investment Destination
The Northern Metropolis (NM), with a total area of 30,000 hectares, represents a substantial source of economic value and development potential. To accelerate its development, the Government will:
• establish the Committee on Development of the NM chaired by the Chief Executive
• remove barriers and ease restrictions to streamline the administrative workflows
• introduce dedicated legislation to empower the Government to devise simplified statutory procedures
Leveraging its proximity to Shenzhen, the NM can better capitalise on the complementary strengths of the Mainland and Hong Kong, serving as a premier gateway for international companies seeking access to the unparalleled growth prospects of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
