Dear all,
It has been an unprecedented moment for all of us, as we are coping with the Covid-19. In this difficult time, our thoughts are with you and we wish you and your family well and safe.
Meanwhile, to help us all in riding out these difficult times together, we would like to inform members of some new measures undertaken by the HKSAR Government and HKTDC to alleviate the impact brought by the outbreak of COVID-19.
1) Special Measures under COVID-19 outbreak
With an additional funding provided by the HKSAR Government to HKTDC, any participants who join HKTDC’s exhibitions and major conferences will be subsidised 50% of their participation fee for each event, subject to a cap of HK$10,000. This measure will apply to all participants (overseas included) and will start from this July for one year. Details will be announced by individual event.
HKTDC has also adjusted the schedule of exhibitions and conferences as part of our continued endeavour to create business opportunities. The latest schedule could be found at here. A series of digital initiatives, including webinars and virtual exhibitions has also been launched to support all businesses:
- A month-long Spring Virtual Expo has started on 1 April. The site features around 130,000 quality suppliers with products covering 33 categories, where global buyers could connect with suppliers with just a simple click.
- Worldwide suppliers are also offered a limited-time special package at HK$10,000/ US$1,800, comprising online promotions via HKTDC’s platforms and showcase displays at the Summer Sourcing Week in July 2020. Please refer to here for more details and registration.
