Co-sponsored by CCPIT Beijing, Beijing Federation of Industry & Commerce, Beijing Investment Promotion Service Center, Hong Kong Trade Development Council, and Belt and Road General Chamber of Commerce Limited, the 28th Beijing-Hong Kong Economic Cooperation Symposium’s Special Session on the Global Expansion of Private Enterprises was successfully held on November 13 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
As a key thematic event of this year’s symposium, the session closely aligned with the coordinated development needs of both regions and the internationalization aspirations of private enterprises. More than 200 representatives from governments, business associations, professional service agencies, and famed companies based in Beijing and Hong Kong convened to provide comprehensive support for the global ventures of private firms through policy briefings, experience sharing, contract signings, and roundtable discussions. During the event, enterprises and institutions from both regions reached 10 cooperation agreements covering a wide range of fields, including global talent services, cross-border financial services, biopharmaceuticals, and aviation logistics. With strong support from CCPIT Beijing, the Beijing Branch of Bank of Ningbo and Zhilian Zhaopin reached preliminary agreements with JobsDB by SEEK and other institutions on human resources and financial services, laying a solid foundation for the overseas expansion of enterprises from Beijing and Hong Kong.
Centering on its core mission of “serving enterprises”, the event leveraged its playing role to effectively link high-quality resources from both regions. Representatives from the financial and legal sectors, as well as business associations, discussed how Beijing’s strengths in technological R&D and advanced manufacturing could be synergized with Hong Kong’s advantages in international finance and professional services. They outlined the latest policy incentives for global expansion and addressed common challenges—including volatile global supply chains, rising compliance demands, and shortages of capital and talent—providing practical guidance for enterprises seeking to navigate international markets.
Executives from enterprises like Meituan’s Keeta, DiDi Global, 36Kr, Deepexi Technology, H3C, and HSBC Hong Kong, along with the leader of China Hong Kong Economic Trading International Association (CHKETIA), took the floor by turns to address the pressing concerns of private enterprises, including new opportunities for “going global”, overseas compliance risk management, and international operations. Drawing on their hands-on experience in overseas markets, they provided participants with forward-looking and actionable guidance.
To extend the service chain, strengthen service effectiveness, and address key pain points in global expansion, the event also featured a roundtable for CHKETIA members, which served as a platform for routine communication and enabled Beijing and Hong Kong enterprises to directly explore cooperation opportunities and align supply with demand. Participants also visited HSBC Hong Kong for in-depth discussions on financing solutions for private enterprises expanding overseas, cross-border capital settlement, and international risk mitigation, effectively responding to the pressing needs of private businesses.
Going forward, CCPIT Beijing will continue to align with the capital’s strategy of high-standard opening-up and deepen Beijing-Hong Kong economic and trade cooperation. Focusing on the full spectrum of enterprise needs throughout the global expansion journey, it will reinforce its overseas service system, build more targeted matchmaking platforms, and integrate high-quality service resources. The aim is to empower private enterprises to venture abroad with confidence and vitality, while contributing stronger collaborative momentum to the Belt and Road Initiative.
