Hong Kong: new initiatives in technology and trade
Hong Kong authorities have announced a series of initiatives to boost promising industries and strengthen the region’s position as an international financial hub.
Establishment of an AI research institute
In February 2025, Hong Kong Finance Secretary Chen Maobo announced the allocation of HK$1 billion (around US$130 million) to establish an AI research institute. The government aims to develop AI as a key industry and turn Hong Kong into an international hub for cooperation in this field.
Simplification of Listing Procedures on the Local Exchange
The proposal is to make it easier for foreign companies to list on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, which will increase its attractiveness and the diversity of companies listed on it.
International Gold Trading Platform
The plan is to create a platform that will strengthen Hong Kong's role in the global precious metals market and attract international investors.
Development of high-income maritime services
The initiatives are aimed at strengthening Hong Kong's position as a leading hub for maritime transportation and logistics, including support for shipping companies and the development of port infrastructure.
"Investing heavily in AI and other advanced technologies can attract international companies and talent, creating high-skilled jobs and boosting economic growth."
