Established in 1966, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) is a statutory body that promotes, assists and develops Hong Kong’s trade, with the support of our 51 offices worldwide.

We help businesses large and small connect with growth and collaboration opportunities globally, while highlighting Hong Kong’s unique strengths and advantages and reinforcing its dual role as SUPER-CONNECTOR and super value-adder, linking China and the world.

We do so via our international trade fairs, industry conferences and industry missions, offering innovative offline-online event experiences. From embarking on missions to staging Hong Kong pavilions at leading mainland and overseas fairs as well as roadshows, our outreach also fosters opportunities and strengthens ties with the Chinese Mainland and our many international trading partners.

In a world marked by constant change, our programmes provide comprehensive tailor-made support to help businesses, in particular SMEs and start-ups, be future-ready and thrive. Complementing this, our research reports and digital news channels offer the latest market information to enable businesses to make informed business decisions and accelerate their expansion plans.

As we celebrate our 60th anniversary in 2026 and begin a new three-year business cycle, our mission remains as strong as ever to help Hong Kong thrive in trade and businesses succeed in the ever-changing landscape.”
