This annual seminar is designed to provide an up to date picture of the current business scene in Hong Kong and prospects for the year ahead. An important focus this year will be on Hong Kong’s place within the Greater Bay Area and will also aim to address the implications for business of the protests Hong Kong has seen.

Keynote speakers from the British Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office will give an overview of the current business climate, followed by a panel discussion including top representatives from Hong Kong SAR government and business leaders giving a comprehensive and multi-dimensional assessment of how Hong Kong business sits with mainland China and the wider region.
