Hong Kong to host high-powered summit for global talent along with one-stop information shop expo
- Global Talent Summit – Hong Kong will be held May 7-8 alongside CareerConnect Expo featuring almost 100 exhibitors
- ‘Through this summit, we can further promote Hong Kong’s dual role and advantages as an international talent hub and a national talent gateway,’ organiser says
Hong Kong will host a high-powered summit next month aimed at promoting the city’s role as an international hub for talent and an expo providing a one-stop source of information about employment, housing and education for professionals interested in moving.
In interviews arranged by the government on Tuesday, some professionals recently settled in Hong Kong explained why they made the move, with some pointing to the city’s tax and education systems as being more attractive than Singapore’s.
The Global Talent Summit – Hong Kong will be held on May 7 and 8 at the Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai, alongside the CareerConnect Expo featuring almost 100 exhibitors.
The summit, organised by the Talent Engage Office established last year, will be free of charge and streamed online for viewing in other countries.
“Through this summit, we can further promote Hong Kong’s dual role and advantages as an international talent hub and a national talent gateway,” office director Anthony Lau Chun-hon said. “Attendees at the summit will also be able to access the necessary information.”
An international talent forum will be held on the first day, followed by the Greater Bay Area High-quality Talent Development Conference, aimed at highlighting Hong Kong’s distinctive advantages and strengthening cooperation with Guangdong provincial cities and Macau in attracting professionals.
