How badly will the international economic slowdown and financial crisis hurt your business? What actions can you take now to stay on top? Come learn how Hong Kong may provide the strategies and the tools that will contribute to your company’s survival and continued success.

China remains the single most important and fastest growing marketplace, as well as manufacturing base, for US products and services. Hong Kong is an integral part of China. Nevertheless, we still retain our advantages of rule of law, separate IP protection legislation, full currency convertibility, international business practices, low taxes, government transparency and free flow of information - all critical elements to making sound business decisions.

Come discover how you may leverage on some of the recent developments in Hong Kong and grow your revenue by finding fresh market niches and new potential customers in Mainland China, as well as the Asia Pac region:

- the signing of a co-operation agreement on the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Innovation Circle which signifies the full co-operation of the two sides in promoting innovation and technology in the Pearl River Delta.

- Hong Kong has awarded licenses for fourth generation (4G) mobile operations to the three highest bidders in a recent radio spectrum auction. New business opportunities will arise in the deployment of the next generation Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) technologies and a wide range of advanced high-speed multimedia services.

a wide range of RMB services
