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 on 23 April 2025 in Mumbai. The seminar was part of the Associate Director-General of Investment Promotion at InvestHK, Charles Ng’s duty visit.
During visits to Mumbai and Delhi, Charles Ng engaged in discussions with large family businesses, enterprises, family offices, business founders, and entrepreneurs from various sectors.
He highlighted the unique benefits of the “one country, two systems” framework and shared the business and investment opportunities available in Hong Kong and the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA).
The cohosted seminar was titled “Gateway to Growth: Exploring Business & Investment Opportunities in and via Hong Kong.”
The InvestHK seminar in India brought together senior executives, entrepreneurs, and partners to discuss how Hong Kong can serve as a gateway for expanding into Mainland China and the rest of Asia.
It commenced with opening remarks by the Director of HKETO Singapore, Owin Fung, and the Regional Director of South East Asia and South Asia of the HKTDC, Ronald Ho. Charles Ng then delivered a presentation on Hong Kong’s dynamic capital market and the abundant investment opportunities it offers.
During his presentation, Charles Ng underscored Hong Kong’s position as a leading global financial and business hub. He 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.”
He also introduced the New Capital Investment Entrant Scheme, which provides an appealing residency option in Hong Kong for high-net-worth individuals and their families.
The Director of Trade and Investment Promotion, World Trade Centre Mumbai, Priya Pansare, also said,
“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.”
Next, during his opening speech, the Director of the HKETO Singapore, Owin Fung emphasised Hong Kong’s benefits to Indian businesses.
He said that as an international financial, trade and shipping centre, Hong Kong has long thrived under the ‘one country, two systems’ principle.
He added on, saying that the principle enables Hong Kong to play the pivotal role as a ‘super connector’ and a ‘super value-adder’, facilitating Indian businesses to expand into the GBA and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations markets.
