Business Opportunities in Hong Kong
With Guest Speaker
MIKE ROWSE
Director General - Invest Hong Kong
Come hear about the unparalleled business opportunities for San Diego companies as you gain first mover advantage as a result of the landmark Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA) between Hong Kong and Mainland China.
CEPA provides liberalization and early market access into China, ahead of WTO schedule, for many service sectors in Hong Kong including accounting, banking, insurance, legal, logistics/transportation, management consulting, securities, telecommunications, convention, advertising and tourism businesses etc. Furthermore, it also offers zero import tariff preference for many Hong Kong made products, such as electrical and electronics, pharmaceuticals, textiles and clothing, jewelry, paper, chemical, metal, cosmetics, and plastics etc. Come to hear how a San Diego corporation may qualify and leverage on CEPA to bring benefits to its bottom-line.
Mike Rowse, Director-General for Investment Promotion, will showcase the rapid integration of Hong Kong and the burgeoning Pearl River Delta (the factory of the world) and why, despite the growth of the Yangtze River Delta (Shanghai), Hong Kong remains the preferred choice location to jump-start your business into China. Mr. Rowse is the Director-General of Invest Hong Kong, the Hong Kong SAR Government Department dedicated to attracting and retaining foreign direct investments in Hong Kong. The department provides free information, advice and support services, helping foreign investors to gain full advantage of the citys ever-expanding business potential.
