Asia SGE | Hong Kong Launches New "Going Global Office" to Power Mainland Enterprise Expansion

The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government has officially launched the "Mainland Enterprises Going Global Facilitation Office" (Going Global Office) on October 6th, witnessed by Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po. Overseen by Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development Algernon Yau, this initiative consolidates resources from various government offices, including Invest Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, and Mainland-based Hong Kong Economic and Trade Offices, into a one-stop platform.

Key Objectives of the New Going Global Office

The office aims to proactively attract and support Mainland enterprises looking to expand their overseas operations by using Hong Kong as a strategic springboard. During the launch ceremony, Financial Secretary Paul Chan highlighted the initiative's three key characteristics: high-level coordination within the government framework, the aggregation of strengths from public bodies, professional groups, and commercial partners, and an active outreach approach to recruit enterprises and explore overseas markets.

How the Going Global Office Creates a One-Stop Platform

Secretary Algernon Yau emphasized that Hong Kong is ideally positioned to serve as the "starting point" for Mainland companies going global. Going Global Office is a platform designed to transform corporate potential into tangible outcomes by leveraging Hong Kong's institutional advantages, professional services, and international networks. It aims to support the national policy direction of encouraging high-quality outward expansion, thereby generating new economic momentum for Hong Kong and consolidating its role as an international business hub.

Invest Hong Kong will coordinate the office's efforts, working closely with various government bureaus, departments, and industry partners. The first major promotional activity is planned before the end of the year, marking the beginning of a concerted push to establish Hong Kong as the preferred home port for Mainland enterprises setting sail for the global market.
