Services to SMEs

 We like customers to make the fullest possible use of TDC. That is why we have opened a dedicated TDC Customer Service Centre in the Convention and Exhibition Centre. Our Customer Service Centre is a one-stop shop for TDC's comprehensive range of information services and promotional activities. It is where to come when customers need one-on-one attention and trade advice in a setting that is friendly, focused and personal. It is also a boon for overseas business visitors, especially those attending trade fairs in nearby exhibition halls.
    Our SME Training Centres, in the Convention and Exhibition Centre, have become the permanent home for our year-round programme of business training courses and workshops designed to help smaller Hong Kong companies. The centres are purpose-built facilities with advanced presentation aides.
  We also have two SME Service Stations strategically located around Hong Kong to make it even easier for you to access TDC's wide range of services and publications.
