Annual Conference

12th December 2023

Introduction

In an ever-evolving world, businesses navigate uncharted territories, continually adapting to shifting markets, advancing technologies, and emerging trends. Capitalizing on these dynamic forces becomes crucial for economic transformation and growth to propel Hong Kong forward.

As a global financial center, Hong Kong encounters unique challenges and opportunities within an increasingly competitive landscape. Innovation is vital to maintain Hong Kong's resilience and dynamism as a financial hub, driving regional and international economic activities. The transformative potential of AI to revolutionize industries and stimulate unparalleled growth is vast.

The creative industries assume a pivotal role in shaping a vibrant and diverse economy. Nurturing dedicated efforts is essential to foster the dynamic growth of this sector, effectively harnessing the influential power of culture, sports, and entertainment to propel substantial economic development.

As the Greater Bay Area emerges as a dynamic economic powerhouse, it is vital for Hong Kong to embrace the vast opportunities and fully harness the potential of this rapidly evolving region.

The HKMA Annual Conference 2023 will unveil the key to shape our future and scale new heights. It will showcase a powerful line-up of speakers who will share with us how businesses leverage emerging trends, technologies and strategies to create a favorable outlook and achieve growth.
