Navigating U.S.-Sino Dynamics
Janet Pau, Executive Director of Asia Business Council, shared her perspective on the changing dynamics of U.S.-Sino relations at the Americas Committee Meeting on 11 April. Citing the Council’s recent survey, Pau said Asian businesses tended to diversify their operations or investments instead of divesting from the world’s two largest economies in response to the tensions. These businesses recognized the importance of driving fundamental transformation across multiple domains to enhance their performance. Pau also provided an analysis of the upcoming U.S. presidential election.

Hong Kong’s Splendored Futures Through the Eyes of Christine Loh
CEO 123 Tell Me More
Professor Christine Loh posed some thought-provoking questions at the Chamber’s “CEO 123 Tell Me More” talk on 10 April. She pointed out that Hong Kong has gone through some remarkable chapters in its history, and we all can relate to a specific date or event which is etched on our memories and hearts. For her, it was the riots and bombs in Central from the cultural revolution post World War II.
From such chaos, Hong Kong rose into Asia’s leading Tiger, demolished squatter huts and built public housing to provide homes for 45% of the population. And from reunification and closer integration with the GBA, Hong Kong’s growth and development has been relentless. While critics may try to argue that Covid saw our population shrink and represented the start of the end of Hong Kong, as a transient city, there have always been ebbs and flows in tides of people living in global cities. Today, at 7.5 million, our population continues to notch new highs. For the coming chapters in our history, we are moments in time shaping our future. We definitely have many strengths, but also we must acknowledge our weaknesses to address these threats and reinforce our advantages.
Our next thought-provoking talk will be with Professor KC Chan, Chairman of WeLab Bank, on 8 May, when he will explore Hong Kong’s future as a global financial hub, and our role in the Mainland, ASEAN and the world. Please sign up today to secure your seat here

Webinar: Strategies for effective IP commercialization
Patents are a legal tool utilized to secure innovations and inventions, representing a form of intellectual property rights. When the company creates a unique technology or invention, a patent can offer protection against infringement and damage. The HKSAR Government has worked hard to encourage local companies and inventors to protect their intellectual work through patent registration.
Oliver Lee, Associate Principal Consultant of the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC), hosted a webinar on Strategies for Effective IP Commercialization on 10 April. He shared tactics to manage IP risks during the commercialization process, as well as government funding for patent protection, the Patent Application Grant (PAG). For details on how to apply for the grant, please visit their website or book a consultation with HKPC.
