Invest Hong Kong, an investment promotion agency, kicked off a three-year
major investment promotion campaign in Hong Kong Friday, targeting private-owned
enterprises in high-growth regions across China's mainland.
The
campaign, named "On Your Marks, Get-set, Go!", will focus on seven key
economically developed provinces on China's mainland, including Zhejiang,
Jiangsu, Shandong, Liaoning, Sichuan, Guangdong and Fujian, and provide private
enterprises with the information and tools to expand internationally using Hong
Kong as their gateway, according to InvestHK.
Director-General of
Investment Promotion Mike Rowse said the demand-driven campaign would guide
companies through the business-expansion process.
"We're raising the
level of awareness of Hong Kong's role in helping local companies in China's
mainland go global, we're providing practical advice on developing an expansion
strategy -- and finally we're bringing these companies to Hong Kong to
experience the city first hand," he said.
According to InvestHK's
estimates, more than 2,000 companies from China's mainland are operating
business in Hong Kong, with about 268 of these using the city as their regional
office or headquarters.
Recent investors who have used Invest Hong
Kong's free services include Tong Ren Tang, Kingdee, Nuctech and Duan &
Duan.
