What opportunities exist for Swedish entrepreneurs?
What is the role of Hong Kong?
How do I get started?
Join a panel discussion of experienced professionals to learn more about one of the world’s currently most exciting regions.

Hong Kong rapidly evolves into the leading hub of East Asia in a large number of key areas, and is among the top five in the world in banking, design, research, education and innovation, but also tourism. Hong Kong is also an entrance to China as well as a center in the Great Bay Area.

HKCCSE can be seen as a sign of Hong Kong’s growing importance and also with the establishment of a chapter in southern Sweden (HKCCSE-South).
A few months ago, the GoFood 2017 conference in Lund was organized with Hong Kong as a partner, at the same time DISH (Denmark, Italy, Sweden, Hong Kong) was formed. We are now working on establishing DISH as a global player in food safety.
Cooperation with Hong Kong continues and increases. Region Skåne’s agreements and relations with Hong Kong are given new activities.
