Every year UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) assists a large number of British companies to visit Hong Kong and Macao to develop new business partnerships. As well as being an excellent introduction to a new market, there are many benefits to participating in a trade mission:

• Hassle-free travel arrangements
• Escorted by an experienced mission leader
• Briefing from the Trade Commissioner on the latest market conditions
• Meeting UKTI sector specialists at the Consulate-General
• Learning from the shared experiences of the other delegates

UKTI Hong Kong can assist you before, during and after your visit to ensure you get the most out of your time in the market.

“During my recent visit to Hong Kong with UKTI, the British Consulate-General team helped enormously to arrange visits with key industry figures in my field.  These appointments would have been very difficult for me to arrange directly and ensured that I met with the right people within the organisations. As a result I was able to evaluate the market potential for my company in Hong Kong” - Christine Ohlenschlager, CSD Systems Limited.
