"New Productive Forces to Boost Hong Kong's Industry Development"

Event Detail

The Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC) and Standard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong) Limited co-organise the annual SME Conference 2024. The conference brings together star business and industry leaders to discuss the latest market trends and issues, providing a forward-looking strategic analysis for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). 

"Accelerating the development of new productive forces" is one of the key initiatives of the Chinese government this year, emphasising innovation-driven, digital transformation, and green development as the core to promote high-quality economic development. As an important part of the Greater Bay Area, Hong Kong should develop new quality productivity tailored to local conditions. In light of this, this year's conference is themed "A New Start - How New Productive Forces Unlock Hong Kong's Industrial Potential". We will focus on innovative concepts such as digital transformation, micro-factories, and new industrialisation, helping SMEs understand how to leverage innovative technologies to enhance productivity, unlock Hong Kong's industrial potential, and promote economic diversification.
