The Belt and Road Summit is a premier international platform for promoting business collaboration along the Belt and Road. The Summit gathers senior government officials and business leaders from countries and regions along and beyond the Belt and Road to exchange insights on multilateral co-operation and explore concrete business opportunities.

If you’re interested to tap into the opportunities in Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area, please join us at our virtual event where we’ve invited some of the region’s top startups, investors, corporate innovators, and community builders to share their insights and experiences.

We wish you a healthy and prosperous year of 2021! For the upcoming year, the Federation will continue to foster global co-operation, enhance communication exchanges and synergy among the Hong Kong business associations worldwide. We are pleased to provide some updates of the Federation:

2020 has certainly been a challenging year. The COVID-19 pandemic not only posed an immense threat to the health and vitality of the global populace, it also brought about far-reaching disruptions to the global markets as well as accentuated the need for reshaping economic and social dynamics. The AFF, as Asia’s premier forum for global leaders in government, finance and business at the beginning of each year, is uniquely positioned for examining the challenges at hand and strategising the road to recovery and beyond.

As the Federation network keeps growing, we would appreciate if you could spread the news to your members and encourage them to follow our page.  Feel free to like and share our posts to your LinkedIn contacts, and tag us @The Federation of Hong Kong Business Associations Worldwide to interact with us!

Strengths in technology and innovation have helped Hong Kong successfully contain the COVID-19 outbreak and cope with its related impact. Businesses are quickly evolved to introduce innovative solutions, thanks to our well-established ecosystem of abundant capital, excellent research capabilities, international talents, and stringent intellectual property protection.

HK is an integral part of the international financial system: for example, the US securities supervisor has an enforcement agreement with Hong Kong; the territory is on the oversight board of CLS, a global currency-settlement platform backed by the Federal Reserve which deals in Hong Kong’s currency, among others. Most bank supervisors and risk officers treat a counterparty in Hong Kong like one in Heidelberg.

Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC)  are embarking on a series of pre-event webinars to drive awareness of, and interest in, some of the key issues that will be covered at the Asian Financial Forum 2021.
