Concurrent Event

Since 2014, the HKFYG Global Youth Entrepreneurs Forum has brought together more than 6,000 young entrepreneurs, investors and industry experts from across the globe. It offers young people a global platform for exchange and cooperation, and drives innovation and entrepreneurship. Leveraging its location in the "one-hour living circle," the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the Forum is helping to build a unique entrepreneurial network. From a global perspective, how can Qianhai, Shenzhen connect with the world through diversified startup support, institutional upgrading, and market-oriented linkages?

Alongside the Forum’s programme in Hong Kong, we will host a visit, entitled "What does creativity look like? An Exposure to Qianhai", which takes the participants to see for themselves the creativity and innovation taking place in Qianhai. The visit will examine the entrepreneurial ecosystem and opportunities in the Greater Bay Area opportunities from an APEC lens, covering cutting-edge technology, green innovation, and cultural integration. Through policy briefings, thematic panel discussions, roundtable data releases and corporate site visits, the event aims to give global and local youth participants an in-depth understanding of the vision for development here and encourage more aspiring young talents to consider the opportunities offered.
