Hong Kong possesses the combined advantages of being an international financial, trade and talent hub. For enterprises looking to deepen their global footprint and lead the energy transformation, Hong Kong is an indispensable strategic pivot.
With over 30 years of industry experience, Tianqi Lithium’s business spans hard-rock lithium resource development, lithium concentrate production and sales, and lithium chemical products such as lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide.
With strategic operations across China, Australia, and Chile, its products are widely used in electric vehicles, new energy storage systems, and electronics. The company has built long-term partnerships with global cathode material, battery cell, and new energy vehicle manufacturers, achieving full value chain integration from upstream minerals to downstream applications through customised services.
Strategic Rationale for Establishing a Presence in Hong Kong
To accelerate its international expansion, Tianqi Lithium set up Tianqi Grand Vision Energy Limited (TGVE) as its regional office in Hong Kong, responsible for overseas business deployment and strategic development.
Anqi Jiang, Chairlady of Tianqi Lithium, shared her firsthand experience of operating in Hong Kong. “The city boasts a robust financial system and rule of law, a competitive low-tax regime, and business‑friendly immigration and import-export policies. With excellent transportation, safety, education and healthcare, you can feel the city’s international character whether working or living here. For us, Hong Kong is the ideal springboard to expand our international operations and enhance our corporate image.”
Establishing an International R&D Centre at the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park
The company has signed an agreement with the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park to establish an international R&D centre integrating testing and simulation capabilities, focusing on lithium battery material research. “We will gradually expand our Hong Kong team to strengthen our technological innovation capabilities,” Jiang added.
Throughout Tianqi Lithium’s expansion journey, InvestHK provided valuable support — introducing the business environment, facilitating connections with capital markets and research partners, and promoting industry exchanges. By establishing a foothold in Hong Kong, Tianqi Lithium is well-positioned to contribute to the global low-carbon energy transition.
