******************************************************************************************
     The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Brussels (HKETO, Brussels) co-hosted a series of events in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, on July 2 (Rotterdam time) to promote business opportunities arising from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area development.

     The events were jointly organised by the HKETO, Brussels, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), Invest Hong Kong and the Netherlands Hong Kong Business Association. The events started with a business seminar on business opportunities in the Greater Bay Area. In her welcoming remarks at the business seminar, the Deputy Representative of HKETO, Brussels, Miss Fiona Chau, said that aspirations for the Greater Bay Area development are very high. "The Greater Bay Area's wide-ranging strengths, diversified markets and far-reaching development opportunities herald a new economic era for Hong Kong. Innovation and technology, advanced manufacturing, high-end services, trade, transport and more will drive the economy of the Greater Bay Area and meet growing middle-class aspirations. And Hong Kong will be at its fast-beating economic heart," she said.

     Miss Chau added that Hong Kong will lead the way in several key sectors, from financial and professional services to trade and transport, as well as playing a vital role in innovation and technology. Dutch companies are welcome to partner with Hong Kong in seizing the enormous opportunities of the Greater Bay Area, which has a population of more than 70 million people, she said.

     The Director of Research of the HKTDC, Mr Nicholas Kwan, was one of the speakers at the business seminar. Mr Kwan gave a detailed account of the background, purpose and opportunities of the Greater Bay Area.

     The business seminar was followed by a cocktail reception and dinner. The Commissioner of Inclusive Dispute Avoidance and Resolution Office of the Department of Justice, Dr James Ding, also attended the dinner and gave a keynote speech to promote Hong Kong as a legal and dispute resolution services centre for the Greater Bay Area.
