Invest Hong Kong encourages Hunan companies to "go global" via Hong Kong

Invest Hong Kong (InvestHK) on November 11 hosted a "Hong Kong - Your Platform to Going Global" seminar in Changsha, Hunan Province, aimed at encouraging companies in Hunan to use Hong Kong's business advantages to expand overseas.

The Changsha seminar showcased Hong Kong's business advantages and the latest developments in its modern service industry, updating representatives from Hunan enterprises as to how their companies could expand overseas via Hong Kong. The event was organised by InvestHK in collaboration with the Department of Commerce of Hunan Province, the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, Hunan Sub-Council, and the Hunan Federation of Industry and Commerce. The Director-General of Investment Promotion, Mr Simon Galpin, and the Deputy Secretary-General of the Hunan Provincial People's Government, Mr Wang Guangming, delivered speeches during the seminar.

In outlining Hong Kong's enduring business advantages, Mr Galpin said, "Hong Kong is well known for having a business-friendly environment, free flows of capital and information, free trade and a free market economy, a deep pool of international talent, world-class infrastructure, and a sound and independent legal system, as well as a low and stable tax regime. Against this backdrop, it serves as an ideal testing ground for Mainland companies to 'go global'.

"As an international financial, trade and shipping centre in Asia, Hong Kong offers effective financial, insurance, accounting and legal services, all of which work together to create a comprehensive and modern service industry platform ready to assist Mainland companies. I would like to take this opportunity to encourage Hunan enterprises to make use of Hong Kong's pool of diversified and professional service providers and their international marketing experience, to expand their businesses globally from Hong Kong," Mr Galpin continued.

Other speakers at the seminar included, the Head of China Business at InvestHK, Ms Loretta Lee; the Deputy Representative of Southern China, Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited, Ms Angela Liu; the Director, Transaction Banking, Wholesale Banking of Standard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong) Limited, Ms Celia Cheng; and the Creative Director of Tommy Li Design Workshop Limited, Mr Tommy Li. Each spoke about Hong Kong's business advantages in their respective fields and encouraged Hunan enterprises to expand overseas using Hong Kong's facilities and services.
