FinTech Showcase: Unlocking the Future of Wealth Management

We had the pleasure of hosting an exclusive Fintech Showcase in partnership with the Fintech Association of Hong Kong, bringing together innovators who are redefining wealth management.

Moderated by our Financial and Treasury Services Committee Vice-Chairmen, Anthony Ng and Aveline San, the event featured insightful discussions with industry experts Zak Allom (CEO, BetaSmartz), Simon Wong (Co-Founder, Fund Kernel), and Kevin Li (GM & Head of HK, Syfe). They shared their unique insights on the latest fintech trends revolutionizing wealth management and their journey to advancing the financial services landscape.

We’re excited to see the future of financial innovation as Hong Kong strengthens its position as a global Fintech hub.

Unleashing HK Businesses’ IP Potential – Patent Trends and Tips for Success

We held an insightful seminar and helpdesk session on how patents can unleash HK businesses’ potential on 20 February.

An expert team of speakers from the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC)  – including Mia Wu, Senior Consultant of IP Management; and her colleague Cody Yip, Associate Principal Consultant of IP Management, shared on latest trends in the patent landscape of Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area (GBA), whilst participants gained practical tips in the investment and commercialisation of such IP. We also gained a preview of the holistic range of services offered to businesses by HKPC through their soon to be established Technology and Innovation Support Centre, as well as the benefits of the Patent Application Grant to support patenting efforts and innovation and drive Hong Kong’s development as an IP trading hub.

Thanks to Richard Wong, Convenor of the Chamber’s IP Trading and Financing Working Group, for moderating the session.

Briefing on the Belt and Road Initiative

The Chamber’s Financial and Treasury Services Committee met with Nicholas Ho, Commissioner for Belt and Road on 22 January, to hear his insights on the exciting latest developments of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and Hong Kong's role and roadmap. We also learned more about Belt and Road Office’s ‘6+3+ Silk strategy’, which aims to further penetrate key core markets, discover new potential countries for expansion, as well as further capitalize on Hong Kong’s strengths as a dual circulation gateway to provide value-added services to local and global businesses seeking to operate in the connected jurisdictions of the BRI.
