Shanghai and Hong Kong Investments - a mirroring perspective

The seminar is co-organized with the support of the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Shanghai, which attracts and assists investments into Hong Kong from companies in the Yangtze River Delta region, and the Shanghai Foreign Investment Development Board (FID), responsible for the management of foreign investments in Shanghai.

The Seminar aims to offer a response to the many enquiries received by the China-Italy Chamber of Commerce from Italian investors, who are interested and would like to invest in China, but are uncertain about how to correctly interpret the co-existence of the two different economic systems in the Mainland of China and Hong Kong, which is now a special administrative region of China. It will provide participants an insight of how to make use of the advantages afforded by the two systems.

The Seminar will clarify information and provide the Italian business community with some analysis tools which can evidence how, under present conditions, Hong Kong and Shanghai are complementary to each other, rather than in competition, in the context of optimizing foreign investment in China.

The unprecedented aspect of this initiative lies in the quality and identity of the speakers invited to the forum: the senior representatives of the major investment promotion authorities from the two places, Mr Mike Rowse - Director General of Investment Promotion, Invest Hong Kong,  and Liu Jinping -  Director of  Shanghai FID,  are invited to sit at the same table and offer the audience a synergic and integrated perspective on how the two economies interface and how foreign companies can, thanks to this interaction, optimize their investments in China, including HKSAR.

The Seminar will also have the participation of relevant professionals and Italian companies that have invested in both economies and will share their own experience to bring to the audience a real life evidence on discussed topics.
