Search is now on for true entrepreneurial spirit
The 24th annual DHL/SCMP Hong Kong Business Awards is open for nominations
The DHL/SCMP Hong Kong Business Awards this year is looking for candidates who are best suited to weather the challenges posed by what may be set to be the slowest economic growth on the mainland in over a decade.
This will be the 24th year of the awards, which are jointly presented by the global logistics company DHL and the South China Morning Post.
We are looking for candidates who demonstrate the true entrepreneurial spirit, that is flexible and suited to cope with the uncertainties, and are well prepared for accelerating growth when the opportunities come
Ken Lee, managing director, Hong Kong and Macau for DHL Express, said: "We are looking for candidates who demonstrate the true entrepreneurial spirit, that is flexible and suited to cope with the uncertainties, and are well prepared for accelerating growth when the opportunities come."
The award's nine categories recognise the commitments of the winning individuals and companies for sustainable business models and their contribution to Hong Kong as a hub of commercial, financial and logistics industries.
Technology and innovation are the keys for companies to survive the uncertainties of slower economic growth that the mainland faces this year, said Wang Tianyi, general manager at China Everbright International, one of the panelists.
"The mainland's economic growth will definitely slow down to 7.5 per cent or below this year, as it is undergoing a structural transformation," Wang said.
