HK-Business Made Easy：Business and Professional Services

Business and Professional Services


Despite having experienced the pandemic of the century, a global economic downturn, and geopolitical instability in recent years, Hong Kong’s business and professional services sector has still managed to achieve reasonable growth. In this episode, we will look at how two overseas companies are faring in this city, as well as how InvestHK is supporting them through a diverse range of consulting and business matching services.

The Great Room is a co-working space located in Eastern District on Hong Kong Island. The company headquartered in Singapore that operates it officially entered the Hong Kong market in April 2019 by opening a ​​24,000-square-foot shared office. After the COVID-19 pandemic, the group’s vision shifted towards developing their spaces into a leading high-end brand, as well as creating environments that encourage exploration and interaction for professionals who wish to expand their social circles while working.

In the 2023 Policy Address, the Chief Executive proposed to direct efforts towards forging Hong Kong into an international post-secondary education hub, facilitating the establishment of universities of applied sciences, and enhancing the status of vocational and professional education and training while promoting traditional academic education.

Occupying an area of 150,000 square feet, the newly completed UOW College Hong Kong campus in Tai Wai is fully equipped with educational and recreational facilities. The institution’s President, Currie Tsang, says that in addition to furthering their studies at the Hong Kong campus, graduates can also progress onto various bridging courses offered by the university’s headquarters in Australia.

The Hong Kong Government has recently launched measures to attract global talent, including the introduction of the "Top Talent Pass Scheme" and the expansion of the Talent List. These efforts will inject more creativity into the business and professional services industry, so that our city can continue to draw foreign investment and enable economic activity to flourish.
