May-October 2022 Greater Bay Area: Webinar Series The European Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong, in collaboration with the European Union Chamber of Comerce in China, are kickstarting a webinar series on the Greater Bay Area. While the Greater Bay Area and its immense business potential are constantly discussed, access to actual solutions is less widespread. Within the cities that form the Greater Bay Area, Hong Kong and Guangdong have crucial roles. It is thus of major importance for international businesses in Hong Kong and Guangdong to be equipped with the tools required to expand into the Greater Bay Area. Difficulties that are usually encountered are discrepancies in regulations between the SARs and Mainland cities, as well as a dual track economic system. How can European businesses address these issues in a practical way? Cooperation and exchange of know-how with local enterprises are of the essence for success in the GBA. The series has the ambitious goal of narrowing the gap between theory and practice of optimizing business in the GBA. This series will consist of 5 webinars, occurring once per month.

11 May, 2022, 3-4 PM The Strategic Role of the GBA and Hong Kong/Guangdong in the Equation During this webinar, we will explore Hong Kong and Guangdong’s role in the GBA, recent emerging trends, and business implications based on surveys and reports that have been published. Back to main page Event Description The Greater Bay Area (GBA) has been a key area of strategic planning for international companies located in Hong Kong, China, and globally. The initiative has helped deepen the cooperation between Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao to create a coherent plan for regional economic development. ​ Guangdong Province has seen an unprecedented rise in economic development in recent decades. Following the reform and opening up set in motion by Deng Xiaoping, Guangdong once again has set its sights outwards through the GBA development plan. ​ GBA has had countless incidents of great fortune from the rise of Shenzhen and the return of Hong Kong and Macao to infrastructure achievements connecting bay area cities on land by high-speed rail or over the bay like the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. However, it is also facing a more decoupled international system and a downward economic pressure caused by Covid. ​ Hong Kong has historically been a gateway for international investors seeking to enter the Chinese market, and has been at the center of innovation in the region. However, recent events may have changed Hong Kong and Guangdong’s role in the coordination of efforts in the GBA. ​ During this webinar, we will explore Hong Kong and Guangdong’s role in the GBA, recent emerging trends, and business implications based on surveys and reports that have been published.
