InvestHK’s KL seminar explores Greater Bay Area opportunities

Invest Hong Kong (InvestHK) and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Development Office (GBA Office) of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) are jointly hosting an exclusive seminar today at the Ritz Carlton Hotel, aimed at showcasing business prospects within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA).

Partnered with the Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia (ACCIM), the event is tailored to provide Malaysian business leaders with insights into leveraging Hong Kong as a strategic entry point into the rapidly growing GBA market.

Opportunities in Asia’s Emerging Economic Powerhouse

The GBA, encompassing 11 key cities including Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou, represents a powerful economic zone with a combined population of 86 million and a GDP of US$2 trillion. As a region pioneering innovative financial and management policies, the GBA promotes the free flow of talent, goods, and capital, creating a conducive environment for international businesses. Hong Kong, as the most globally connected city in the GBA, continues to solidify its role as a financial and trade hub, an asset management center, and an innovation leader.

The seminar emphasises Hong Kong’s unique advantages in attracting international companies to the GBA, helping them to harness growth potential through R&D clusters and advanced manufacturing facilities. With sectors such as technology, finance, and professional services thriving in the GBA, Malaysian businesses have a promising landscape for expansion.

Insights from Leading Industry Voices

Today’s seminar features prominent speakers including Ms. Maisie Chan, Commissioner for the Development of the GBA, and Ms. Alpha Lau, Director-General of Investment Promotion at InvestHK, who are expected to shed light on the latest GBA policies and growth strategies available for foreign enterprises. Additionally, representatives from the Malaysian business sector will share real-life experiences of establishing operations in the GBA, offering valuable perspectives for attendees.

Ms. Chan and Ms. Lau’s insights aim to equip Malaysian businesses with knowledge on capitalising on Hong Kong’s position as a gateway to the GBA, a region that is emerging as one of Asia’s primary economic powerhouses. Their discussions will highlight how Hong Kong’s economic strengths can support Malaysian enterprises in reaching new heights in Asia’s competitive markets.

Fostering Business Connections

After the half-day seminar, participants will have the opportunity to network at an exclusive business luncheon, facilitating direct connections between Malaysian and Hong Kong business communities. This engagement is expected to foster collaborations and partnerships, enabling Malaysian companies to explore new ventures in the GBA.
