Asian business hub
Hong Kong is located in the center of Asia, within a four-hour flight from all major markets in Asia. The superior geographical location allows easy access to most markets in the Asia-Pacific region, helping companies, talents and professionals to grasp the many opportunities brought by the "Belt and Road" initiative, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area and other regions in the region.
02
free economy
Hong Kong enjoys a stable exchange rate, free flow of capital, talents, goods and information, and an efficient and transparent market. And it has a sound legal system, efficient public governance, simple tax system, low tax rates, open markets, and a fair competitive environment. It is an ideal destination for many elites.

leading financial center
For a long time, Hong Kong has been one of the world's leading financial centers. At the same time, Hong Kong is also the world's largest offshore RMB settlement center.
The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong (SEHK) has become the world's exchange with the highest amount of public offerings raised in the past twelve years. Total IPO proceeds in 2021 will be close to HK$333 billion (over US$40 billion).
In addition, after years of development, Hong Kong's social welfare system has formed a relatively sound and complete management system. Its advanced education, developed medical care, and good business environment rank among the best in Asia.
Planning Hong Kong identity has become the common choice of many outstanding talents, especially now that the "Quality Migrant Admission Scheme" has further expanded the talent list, which will attract more talents to Hong Kong!
