Event Highlights - Think Business Think Hong Kong (19 September 2023)

ORKTS 

  “Think Business, Think Hong Kong”, a signature promotion organized by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) with a view to promoting Hong Kong's new opportunities and advantages to the French business community, was held at the Carrousel du Louvre (Paris) on 19 September 2023 in Paris, France.

  This event aims to showcase Hong Kong as a resilient business and innovation hub facilitating global businesses to capture new demands worldwide and realize business opportunities in overseas markets. It comprises a full-day symposium bringing together business leaders from Hong Kong and France to discuss the latest developments and opportunities in Asia’s new economy, sustainability in business, innovation and technology, design and creativity, and more, amid the ever-changing global business dynamics.

  This year, the CUHK and our startup companies (Geniebiome Ltd and YnnoMed Ltd) participated in this event to share our perspectives about the market potential and areas of collaboration with Hong Kong.
