Building Bridges Between Hong Kong and the Nordics

It’s always a pleasure to welcome visitors from around the world, especially those who share our passion for promoting trade and collaboration. Today, we hosting Dr Eric Zhang, Chairman of the Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce in Sweden, and Björn Segerblom, Honorary Chairman and Hong Kong Representative, for an interesting discussion.

Our Chairman Agnes Chan, CEO Patrick Yeung, and Chairman of the Europe Committee Alfonso Ballesteros exchanged ideas on how our chambers could work together to revitalize activities and ties between Hong Kong and the Nordic region. Eric explained that, despite having a population of just 10 million people, Sweden punches far above its weight as it is a global leader in innovation, tech, and life sciences.

Agnes also highlighted HKGCC’s work and suggested opportunities for collaboration, from a potential MOU to inviting Swedish speakers for our International Business Summit on 9 December, both in person or virtually.

HKGCC Asian Cities Internationality Index 2025: Key Findings Briefing

We had a lively discussion on 23 July about HKGCC’s Asian Cities Internationality Index (ACII) with Chamber Chairman Agnes Chan and CEO Patrick Yeung. They presented the key findings to members and representatives from international chambers in Hong Kong.

The recently unveiled ACII assesses the internationality of 11 Asian cities across seven key areas. The findings highlighted that Hong Kong and Singapore are closely matched in their roles in the international economy. Overall, the strengths of the 11 cities --including diverse cultures and a mix of advanced and emerging economies -- showcased each one’s unique comparative advantages.

The audience was eager to learn about the methodology behind the data collection, including insights from executives surveyed across the U.S., Europe, and Oceania, as well as the steering committee. Chan emphasized that the ACII is an independent and transparent study to ensure credibility. The research was conducted by global market research leader Ipsos, with the steering committee comprising professors from leading Hong Kong universities, chaired by Prof. Edward Chen, Honorary Professor of the HKU Business School.

Prof. Chen, along with Adrian Lo from Ipsos, explained the index’s methodology in detail -- how the data was collected, compiled, and rigorously debated over nine months of intensive meetings. A full breakdown of the ACII’s methodology, data sources, and contributors is included in the report for complete transparency.
