Help Hong Kong companies capitialise on business opportunities arising from the new global economic order

Objective I

Help Hong Kong companies capitialise on business opportunities arising from the new global economic order

Under the first objective, we will target selected traditional markets such as the US, Germany and Japan to help Hong Kong exporters take advantage of the economic revival and obtain new export orders. We will classify promising emerging economies into three groupings – "Spotlight Economies", economies worthy of "Further Penetration" and economies on the "Watch List" and develop promotional strategies tailored for each category.

For the mainland market, we will focus on deepening the penetration of Hong Kong brands and help Hong Kong service providers capture business opportunities arising from the mainland's rapid urbanisation, production transformation and mainland enterprises' outbound investment trend.
