The Hong Kong – North America Business Council (HKNABC), previously known as the Hong Kong–United States Business Council, was established in 1984. The HKNABC comprising two senior-level committees in Hong Kong and North America, aims to foster greater mutual understanding and facilitate stronger economic and trade ties between the two business communities.

Members of the Council are leaders of the industrial and service sectors in Hong Kong and North America, respectively. North American members include the heads of North America conglomerates and multi-nationals with a strong stake in the region through Hong Kong, as well as representatives of SMEs striving to develop business in Asia and keen to use Hong Kong as their base. Hong Kong members include the heads of major Hong Kong manufacturing, trading or service companies with an established interest in the North America and representatives of SMEs keen to explore partnerships with North America in Asia.

Council meetings are held in Hong Kong or North America to provide Council members with opportunities to exchange views on topical or ongoing issues.

The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) acts as the Secretariat for the HK Section and the North America Section.
