Hong Kong trade bodies urged to learn from Qatar to enhance investor services
Hong Kong Productivity Council chairman Sunny Tan, who joined Chief Executive
John Lee Ka-chiu 's delegation on a
four-day visit to the Middle East this week, said on Saturday that he was inspired by the Qatar Development Bank.
He said the Trade Development Council, InvestHK, the Office for Attracting Strategic Enterprises, the Productivity Council and the Hong Kong Export Credit Insurance Corporation should work more closely.
'The Qatar Development Bank is not a bank, but a government statutory body that offers many services to help and attract foreign companies coming for investment or local businesses,' Tan told a radio programme on Saturday.
'My impression is that this one institution is equivalent to our [five organisations] combined.
'This made me feel that while the support we provide in Hong Kong for businesses or the business sector is excellent, we need to better coordinate our public institutions.'

Hong Kong exports rise 11.9%, with strong showing in mainland China, Asia markets
Hong Kong's exports jumped by 11.9 per cent in June from a year ago, with the government attributing the sustained performance to the continued expansion of sales to mainland China and other Asian markets while trade with the West fell. Advertisement Growth tapered off from a 15.5 per cent year-on-year increase in May, as exports to the United States and European Union declined in June amid the ongoing US-China trade war. The value of total exports reached HK$$417.8 billion (US$53.5 billion) in June, the Census and Statistics Department said on Monday. A government spokesman said exports to the mainland and other Asian markets continued to 'expand visibly', while those to the US and EU fell. 'Looking ahead, the sustained steady growth in various Asian economies, in particular, the mainland economy, as well as Hong Kong's enhanced economic and trade ties with different markets, should continue to support merchandise trade performance,' the spokesman said. Advertisement 'Nonetheless, the outlook of global trade policy is still uncertain. The government will continue to monitor the situation closely and stay vigilant.'

OASES drives growth in Hong Kong's innovation landscape by guiding tech companies into the city
Hong Kong has long been recognised as a global financial hub, but in recent years, it has also rapidly emerged as an innovation and technology (I&T) centre. The unique combination of world-class research and development (R&D) facilities, government initiatives aimed at developing I&T-related industries, and strategic connectivity to both mainland China and the rest of the world positions the city as an ideal launch pad for companies specialising in fields such as green technology and smart logistics solutions. The Hong Kong government is actively fostering an ecosystem tailored to grow the city's I&T prowess. Last September, the Innovation and Technology Commission introduced a HK$10 billion (US$1.27 billion) funding programme, the New Industrialisation Acceleration Scheme (NIAS), for enterprises in the fields of life and health technology, artificial intelligence (AI) and data science, and advanced manufacturing and new energy technology that plan to set up smart production facilities in the city. Besides funding, Hong Kong's innovation infrastructure continues to expand, with facilities like the Advanced Manufacturing Centre (AMC) at Tseung Kwan O InnoPark offering cutting-edge prototyping and production capabilities. This complements existing I&T hubs, including Cyberport and the Hong Kong Science Park, to collectively reinforce the city's commitment to hi-tech industrialisation. The Office for Attracting Strategic Enterprises (OASES) serves as a cornerstone of Hong Kong's I&T strategy. Established in 2022 following Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu's policy address, OASES focuses on attracting promising strategic enterprises from five industries, namely advanced manufacturing and new energy technology, AI and data science, financial technology, life and health technology, and cultural and creative. As of April, the office has successfully attracted 84 strategic enterprises, which are expected to invest HK$50 billion and create over 20,000 jobs in Hong Kong in the next few years. OASES actively engages with these companies before they enter Hong Kong and also offers various types of support during and after their entry. Such support can range from connecting companies with potential clients and partners to help grow their businesses to providing insights on the latest market trends and relevant government policies. Fourteen of these enterprises belong to the advanced manufacturing and new energy technology industry. Among them is Gotion, a company specialising in battery technology for electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage systems. First established in 2006 in Hefei in eastern China's Anhui province, Gotion has since expanded its operations to eight R&D centres worldwide, including in the United States, Singapore and Japan. It is one of the largest EV battery manufacturers in the world and ranks sixth in the industry in terms of market share.
