In September 2023, the Vietnam Investment Promotion and Associates Corporation (IPAVIETNAM) led a delegation from Vietnam to Hong Kong to take part in the esteemed Belt and Road Summit. Capitalising on this visit, IPAVIETNAM hosted the Hong Kong Connect Conference 2023 at the FHKI office on 15 September 2023. Seizing this opportune moment, FHKI International Affairs Committee (IAC) extended an invitation to members across various sectors who are interested in expanding their business operations into Vietnam. This conference provided an ideal platform for these members to engage in dialogue about potential cooperative endeavours with Vietnamese companies.

The conference was enriched by IPAVIETNAM's insightful presentation on the latest economic updates, investment incentives, and burgeoning business opportunities in Vietnam. Additionally, Vietnamese representatives imparted their market insights and investment opportunities spanning diverse fields, including infrastructure, industrial, and mechanical and electrical engineering services.

The conference served as a fertile ground for participants from both Hong Kong and Vietnam to engage in meaningful dialogue, seize promising opportunities, and lay the groundwork for potential collaborations, thus heralding a prosperous future for business ventures that span both regions.
