Positioned at the heart of global trade routes and international finance, Hong Kong continues to offer dynamic access to Mainland China, Southeast Asia, and beyond.
This forum brings together business leaders, trade experts, and academic partners to offer a comprehensive look at how companies can leverage Hong Kong’s global connectivity, financial infrastructure, and strategic location to expand their footprint in one of the world’s most dynamic economic regions.
Featured speakers include:
Yi Xie, Head of Investment Promotion, InvestHK

Wendy Lu, Tax Partner, International Services, Aprio
Michael Chen, Co-President, Hong Kong U.S. Business Association of Atlanta
Speakers will address practical market entry strategies, sector-specific export potential, and the advantages of leveraging Hong Kong’s connectivity to Southeast Asia. The discussion will also examine potential challenges and provide guidance on mitigating risk while building long-term resilience. In addition, experts will outline foreign direct investment (FDI) trends, partnership opportunities, and the policy landscape shaping investment flows.
