Details

In December, Hong Kong removed all restrictions on inbound travel, marking the end of almost three years of pandemic-related travel restrictions. With Hong Kong on its road back to normality, businesses are once again turning their attention to Hong Kong.


Has the business climate changed? Despite the pandemic, looking at the last few years in Hong Kong, are there any emerging trends in Hong Kong that could be extra attractive for foreign business? What are the main practical issues that foreign business face when setting up in Hong Kong?


Join this breakfast/afternoon coffee meeting with representatives from Sweden and Hong Kong with the know-how on Doing Business in Hong Kong. This is also the soft launch of SwedChams business guidelines, with an overview of some important aspects of Doing business in Hong Kong, provided by SwedCham's members.
