Hong Kong is a highly dynamic and business-friendly city that has long offered a gateway for overseas companies to access China and other booming markets in Southeast Asia. This is particularly the case for overseas SMEs leveraging the relative accessibility of Hong Kong to drive their international growth. More recently, Hong Kong has offered further access for overseas companies into China’s Greater Bay Area (GBA), an integrated economic area connecting manufacturing and innovation hubs of Guangdong with Hong Kong and Macau, boasting a well-educated population of over 70 million and equivalent GDP to Canada or South Korea.
It is pleased to invite business across sectors to join this exclusive seminar and roundtable discussion with HKTDC, InvestHK, and the Department for Business & Trade as we explore how businesses can fully utilise Hong Kong’s evolving role as a critical regional hub. Attendees will gain insights into live opportunities to build relationships with business partners in Hong Kong and the GBA in 2024.
