     ​Invest Hong Kong (InvestHK), the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Singapore (HKETO Singapore) and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) jointly held a seminar yesterday (April 23, Mumbai time) in Mumbai as part of Associate Director-General of Investment Promotion at InvestHK Mr Charles Ng's duty visit to India.
     
     During the duty visit to Mumbai and Delhi, Mr Ng had fruitful discussions with a number of large family businesses, large enterprises, family offices, business founders and entrepreneurs from across different sectors to explain the unique benefits of the "one country, two systems" framework, conveying the advantages and business and investment opportunities available to them in Hong Kong and the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA).
     
     The Director of Trade and Investment Promotion, World Trade Center Mumbai, Ms Priya Pansare, said, "At World Trade Center Mumbai, we are delighted to explore synergies with InvestHK to foster stronger economic linkages between India and Hong Kong. This collaboration presents a valuable opportunity to bridge markets, promote cross-border investments, and enable businesses from both economies to grow through shared knowledge, innovation, and trade facilitation."
     
     The seminar cohosted by InvestHK, the HKETO Singapore and the HKTDC in Mumbai yesterday, entitled Gateway to Growth: Exploring Business & Investment Opportunities in and via Hong Kong, brought together local senior executives, entrepreneurs, and partners to discuss the benefits of using Hong Kong as a gateway for expansion into Mainland China and across Asia. It commenced with opening remarks by the Director of the HKETO Singapore, Mr Owin Fung, and the Regional Director of South East Asia and South Asia of the HKTDC, Mr Ronald Ho, followed by a presentation on Hong Kong's dynamic capital market and the abundant investment opportunities it offers, delivered by Mr Ng.
     
     During his opening speech, Mr Fung emphasised Hong Kong's benefits to Indian businesses. He said, "As an international financial, trade and shipping centre, Hong Kong has long thrived under the 'one country, two systems' principle. This enables Hong Kong to play the pivotal role as a 'super connector' and a 'super value-adder' to facilitate Indian businesses expanding into the GBA and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations markets."
     
     During the presentation, Mr Ng underscored Hong Kong's status as a premier international financial and business hub, spotlighting the city's vibrant start-up ecosystem, robust capital markets, and free flow of information, talent, and capital. He also highlighted the New Capital Investment Entrant Scheme, which offers high-net-worth individuals and their families an attractive pathway to residency in Hong Kong. Mr Ng said, "It has been a genuine privilege to engage with India's forward-looking business community and showcase the latest developments in Hong Kong. We are keen to support more Indian companies in learning more about Hong Kong's strategic position, robust capital markets, and diverse talent pool, enabling them to expand across Asia - and ultimately, beyond."
