GoGlobal Connect Zone targets overseas expansion

The HKTDC is a member of the government-led GoGlobal Task Force and has set up a GoGlobal Connect Zone at the fair. It brings together professional service providers from the finance, legal, accounting and insurance sectors to help businesses with financing, intellectual property, logistics, compliance and risk management. The aim is to help Chinese Mainland enterprises connect with international markets through Hong Kong.

Related events include a seminar titled "GoGlobal: Scaling Smart Consumer Innovations Worldwide", with representatives from Hang Seng Bank and the Hong Kong Export Credit Insurance Corporation. On 14 October, OCBC Bank representatives are due to discuss the manufacturing ecosystem in the ASEAN bloc, including the economic environment, tax regimes and market trends.

What it means for buyers and exhibitors

For buyers, the fairs combine product sourcing in AI, robotics and electronics with forums on emerging technology. For companies, particularly those from the Chinese Mainland, the GoGlobal Connect Zone offers advisory and professional services for entering overseas markets. According to the HKTDC, the approach is meant to strengthen Hong Kong's role as a platform for global expansion.
