Ma Shiheng: The settlement of hundreds of companies in Hong Kong is expected to attract USD 8 billion in investment and create 22,000 high-end jobs

The Chairman of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, Peter Lam, stated today (27th) at the AFF "Global Industry Summit" that current technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, biotechnology, healthcare, and new energy are rapidly reshaping the world and will become the main engines of future wealth and well-being. At the same time, changes in the geopolitical landscape are bringing uncertainty to the global economy, making corporate planning more complex than before.

Peter Lam emphasized that financial services can assist industries and investors in enhancing investment efficiency, supporting technological breakthroughs and sustainable development. In an era filled with uncertainty, collaboration can further enhance the resilience and adaptability of the economy, industry, and society.

Under "One Country, Two Systems," Hong Kong is an ideal place to promote public-private dialogue and foster cross-sector collaboration, possessing a unique role as a "super connector, super value creator, and super collaborator." It serves as an important bridge connecting mainland China and the world, helping mainland enterprises go international while also assisting foreign companies in entering the Chinese market. Peter Lam specifically mentioned that the "Office for Attracting Key Enterprises," one of the co-organizers of the summit, has successfully attracted over 100 key strategic enterprises from the mainland and overseas to establish or expand their businesses in Hong Kong, expected to bring about USD 8 billion in investments and create approximately 22,000 high-end jobs
