✨ With the deep implementation of the “Belt and Road” initiative and the accelerated development of the GBA, coupled with strong support and investment from the HKSAR government in technological innovation, Hong Kong’s innovation ecosystem is flourishing at an unprecedented pace. 🌏 This growth is closely linked to the dynamic innovation landscape in mainland China.

Sometimes the universe puts people in your path for a reason. Ronald and I have a professional friendship and a shared passion, proving that doing well and doing good can sit together in business and finance. Ronald is proudly indigenous to Hong Kong and through his family office a champion of its rejuvenation. He personally devotes his time and resources to crossing the East/West divide to promote Hong Kong and its role in the Greater Bay Area. He is also a lifelong value investor, author and advocate on businesses that create value to society. These sit well with the direction of travel for sustainable finance and are close to my heart. Some thoughts triggered by the roundtable discussion (I am respecting Chatham House rule): 💡 Entrepreneurial families are powerful ambassadors on driving positive change. Whilst the financial sector is focused on capturing assets, their voice and connections to their communities and across global networks can help influence investment choices and business attitudes in a region. 💰 Sustainable finance innovation can help drive global competitiveness. As capital markets evolve there is an opportunity to innovate and build market infrastructure for future structural investment trends. Regions become more powerful working as one rather than competing internally. Carbon markets present a huge opportunity in Asia if the integrity kinks can get ironed out. 🌳 Asia, especially China, will end up leading on sustainability and sparking entrepreneurial energy to support development and prosperity. Asia has drive and is adept at the art of the hustle. The needs of its population and the strain on resources will make this an imperative. Hong Kong has taken a battering reputationally which I don't need to go into. Yet it remains a vibrant, entrepreneurial city with a deep capital market and the most incredible 'can-do' energy. It will always be home to me. Samuel S. Wu good to see you by Ronald's side championing Hong Kong in London. Gilford L. and Daisy I. thank you for championing Hong Kong in London and the debate on sector focus. Pleasure to meet other attendees and supporters for a stimulating and positive discussion.

“When discussing the potential for building large tech companies, opinions vary widely. Some argue that it's too challenging or outright impossible, while others point to China's success, noting that if China could achieve it, why not this region which comprises a quarter of China's economy? Acknowledging the immense challenges, it’s clear that overcoming them requires exceptional entrepreneurs. Despite the criticism directed at venture capitalists, they responsibly manage their investments and the funds entrusted to them. In this diverse economic landscape, some companies and people work harder, some have better judgment, and some have more luck than others. This diversity drives the overall improvement of infrastructure, payment systems, and logistics, thereby enhancing consumer choice and the quality of goods available.” - Jianggan Li, Founder & CEO of Momentum Works Watch, listen or read the full insight at https://lnkd.in/gqZGXt6e Nonton, dengar atau baca wawasan lengkapnya di https://lnkd.in/gTktxARv 观看、收听或阅读全文，请访问 https://lnkd.in/gHCS-4Dk Xem, nghe hoặc đọc toàn bộ thông tin chi tiết tại https://lnkd.in/gzDDa67w #GamingEvolution #China #SoftwareDevelopment #RealEstate #JourneyToTheWest #Tencent #VentureCapital #VC #BRAVEPodcast
