TDC in move to broaden Web site with five industry-specific portals
Five industry-specific portals have been added to the Trade Development Council's (TDC) Web site to provide enterprises with market information and business opportunities.
Deputy executive director Anna Lai Wong Oi-ling said the portals would provide a new service platform for Hong Kong's small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs).
'The new portals aim to offer industry-specific services to players in targeted industries and keep them informed of new business opportunities,' she said.
'They also provide a framework for TDC to co-operate with specialised [e-commerce] service providers or strategic partners in giving support to Hong Kong's major industries.'
The portals cover the five leading export industries - electronics, garments and textiles, gifts, toys, and timepieces and jewellery.
Mrs Lai said manufacturers and traders could find overseas buyers for their products through a bidding service on the Web sites.
They would also be informed of the latest trends in their markets and changes in import regulations.
