Visit to France by the Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development of Hong Kong

We were very pleased to accompany the Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development of Hong Kong in Bordeaux, for a private meeting with the French Tech ecosystem, to discuss expansion opportunities in Hong Kong for French start-ups and technology companies. The meeting was held under the supervision of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council.

It was a great opportunity to highlight some of the advantages offered by this strategic hub at the heart of Asia:

• a business-friendly legal environment, stable and based on common law;
• a corporate tax rate capped at 16.5%, with a reduced 5% rate on certain income from qualifying innovative activities, under the patent box regime;
• privileged access to Mainland China;
• increasing financial and logistical support aimed at facilitating the establishment of foreign companies.
