Two distinctly different enterprises, which both promote Australian products and services, stand out among the nominations for the Business Promotion category.
FPDSavills China, a property management consultancy, and Toddler Kindy Gymbaroo, a children's educational centre, have been short-listed for the Business Promotion Award.
Carla Pahl, manager of Toddler Kindy Gymbaroo, said launching the Australian education franchise in Hong Kong was like 'plucking a ripe cherry that was just waiting to be picked'.
Ms Pahl said the introduction of the programme provided a unique and much needed service in Hong Kong by assisting parents with the early development of their children.
Established last year, Toddler Kindy Gymbaroo aims to provide children with an ideal environment to develop their motor and sensory skills through singing, dancing, music, rhythm and interactive activities.
Ms Pahl said Gymbaroo catered for more than 160 children and families per term and its classes were always fully booked.
