Today, Hong Kong’s traditional strengths on IP-protection, financial services and connectivity are coupled with economic integration with Mainland China which makes Hong Kong the ideal centre in Asia to tap into its huge business potential, particularly in China. Locating product development and customerisation, incl. productification and pilot production in Hong Kong would be a viable alternative for Danish and Swedish companies in sectors where seed money is readily available but where ramping up to full-scale production requires big investment and market support
On 24 August 2010 , high-level government officials and business leaders from the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) will present the unique opportunities available in the region on innovation and high tech sectors such as:
●
Life science & biotechnology
● Renewable energy & environmental services
● Semiconductor development
● Information and communication technologies
● Logistics and suppy chain management enabling technologies, in particular RFID
● Nanotechnology and advanced materials
● Photonics and solid state technologies
● Design and creative industries
In addition, case studies on expanding business to China using Hong Kong as a base, from both sides of Øresund will be presented. Keynote speaker will be Mrs. Rita Lau, Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development,the Government of the Hong Kong SAR .

For many start-ups and spin-offs, taking the step from R&D to full-scale production is a major challenge.
This event highlights the opportunities for companies based in the Øresund Region to use Hong Kong as a base and collaborate with the Hong Kong Science Park – gateway to Mainland China, ideal location for prototyping activities and to fast-track business development plans.
