RTHK and InvestHK promote business opportunities in HK with TV series

Local broadcaster Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) and Invest Hong Kong (InvestHK) have joined hands to launch a new TV programme to introduce how foreign companies can explore new business opportunities in Hong Kong.

Also known as “Hong Kong business made easy”, the eight-episode TV programme will tell the success stories of enterprises in Hong Kong, as well as the support and assistance that InvestHK has provided.

It is the first time that RTHK has collaborated with InvestHK to produce a TV programme. It will feature 17 enterprises from various industries, namely KIN, Hyakunousha International, UOW College of Hong Kong, The Great Room, d’strict, Creative Technology, Digital Art Fair, Aereve, Synpulse Hong Kong and Shenzhen, istyle Retail (HK), Lao Feng Xiang Jewellery Hong Kong, Paul Lafayet, Ernst & Young, UISEE Technologies (HK), Ushio Hong Kong, WESTWELL and Isola Capital.

The TV series will be trilingual (Cantonese, Putonghua and English), aiming to reach a global audience. The English version of the programme is now on TV31 every Saturday night, while the Chinese version will premiere starting from 27 February, every Tuesday night on TV31. The live broadcasts of the programme and the archived version will be available on RTHK’s website and mobile app.

Speaking at a press conference, Alpha Lau (pictured right), director-general of investment promotion, InvestHK, said that she hoped the TV programme could let the public know more about InvestHK’s services and professional support.

According to a report by RTHK, Lau said corporate clients featured in the programme agree that Hong Kong is a great location to do business and expand their business. 

InvestHK is tasked to attract and retain foreign direct investment, and works with overseas and mainland entrepreneurs, SMEs and multinationals who are planning to set up or expand their business in Hong Kong. It announced earlier this month that it had provided assistance to 382 mainland and overseas companies in setting up or expanding their businesses in Hong Kong in 2023. 

The number represents a year-on-year increase of about 27%. The total investment thereby brought to Hong Kong's economy has reached HK$61.6 billion and created more than 4,100 job opportunities during their first year of operation.
