Promoting sustainable economic growth through resilience and strategic innovation

Overview

Accompanied by key policies and initiatives like Climate Action Plan 2050, the Innovation and Technology Development Blueprint, Hong Kong’s 2024-2025 Budget reflects a strategic shift towards enhancing Hong Kong's economic resilience and competitiveness, with significant implications for the real estate market and broader infrastructural development. 

These changes include several key measures and strategies aimed at enhancing the future development of Hong Kong and optimizing its built environment, with efforts expected to impact the real estate investment and construction industry significantly in the coming years, aiming to propel Hong Kong towards more diversified and sustainable growth. 

This diversification can cushion the economy against sector-specific downturns and create a more stable environment for investment in large-scale infrastructure and real estate projects. The emphasis on attracting international talent and enterprises could also lead to an increase in demand across the wider APAC region.This year’s Hong Kong Conference is poised to be the crucible for deliberating on these matters. With a theme of ‘Promoting sustainable economic growth through resilience and strategic innovation’, our goal is to systematically unravel the new vistas and impediments confronting Hong Kong's infrastructure and investment landscape. We aim to foster a proactive dialogue, themed topics with experts, scholars, government officials and industry elites from Hong Kong, Mainland China and APAC, generating actionable strategies and recommendations and fortifying Hong Kong's structural foundation, consolidating its strategic position in the broader global context.
