What's On

Registration Closed

Hong Kong has reached another crossroad in its journey as a special administrative region in China. The challenge is not just over domestic issues but having to cope with complex geopolitical shifts that affect the "global order."

At the Chamber's new series, "CEO 123 Tell Me More" on 10 April, Professor Christine Loh will address Hong Kong's current predicament and the possible "futures" that the city could choose. She will also address the Mainland's development, demographics, technology trends, and achieving environmental and social sustainability. Chamber CEO Patrick Yeung will be the moderator to facilitate this thought-provoking discussion.
