Past Events

Nicholas Ho, Deputy Managing Director of hpa, shared his experience working on projects along the Belt and Road at the Chamber’s Belt and Road Working Group meeting on 19 June. He said the Belt and Road Initiative provided a framework to encourage foreign direct investment to less developed countries, and had generally improved physical, cultural, digital and technology connectivity among participating countries. He added that members interested in doing business in South East Asia should study the market extensively and evaluate potential risks. With a population of around 600 million people, the South East Asia market is heavily fragmented by political systems and cycles, and languages and cultures.
