Speech Topic:
Putting the Best Foot Forward
Synopsis:
Hong Kong has always been a global city bringing people from across the world together and its role as a global trade facilitator has been well documented. As the business environment changes, Hong Kong's traditional trading role is being challenged, while new opportunities to service the world are emerging. As China carries out the 12th Five-Year Plan and gradually moves into a consumption-driven economy, how should Hong Kong leverage its unique strengths to capture new opportunities and stay relevant in the global business arena? How can creativity and innovation be the solution to Hong Kong?
