ABOUT THE EVENT
As a highly competitive, international city in the GBA, Hong Kong has a track record of continually advancing its expertise to drive business, especially in the areas of finance, logistics, trading, and professional services. Hong Kong not only ranks highly on a global scale in its overall competitiveness and business environment, but has also played a key role in the GBA's development.

To better understand how local enterprises can leverage Hong Kong's advantages to develop the GBA, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council recently commissioned PricewaterhouseCoopers Advisory Services Limited to conduct a study on Hong Kong's position as the international business hub for the GBA. At this joint chambers webinar on 13 November, speakers will discuss the findings of the study and the factors that will reinforce Hong Kong's position as the international business hub for the GBA.

Nicholas Kwan, Director of Research, HKTDC, and Albert Wong, Partner, Public Sector Consulting, PwC Hong Kong, will share the key findings of the survey, and why businesses are planning to expand their operations into the GBA. They will be joined by Felix Lee, Executive Director, UMP Healthcare, who will share his insights on his own company's experience in investing in the GBA, which presents the greatest opportunity for Hong Kong companies' development in the next decade.
