They signaled Hong Kong’s revival as a bridge between the Chinese mainland and global investors. “Complexity can only be overcome by rowing in the same direction,” noted one attendee – and the city’s tech-driven edge (hello, Fintech Week! 🚀) is steering that momentum.
🌱 Green finance took center stage, reflecting global urgency to fight climate change through sustainable investing. Meanwhile, the summit’s timing aligns with the HKMA’s 30th anniversary – a nod to its role in maintaining stability amid inflation and geopolitical turbulence. For young entrepreneurs eyeing Asia?
