dear potential sponsor,

Thank you for your interest in the Third Annual Transpacific Entrepreneurial Joint CanChamHK-HKCBA Conference. In 2014 the Inaugural Transpacific Entrepreneurial Joint CanChamHK-HKCBA Conference was launched to bring together the members of The Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong (CanChamHK) and the Hong Kong Canada Business Association, to promote Hong Kong as a platform for growth-seeking Canadian companies, entrepreneurs and professionals.

Both the 2014 Inaugural Conference and the 2015 Conference attracted over 100 delegates and 18 speakers from Hong Kong and Canada.

Past participants included representatives from:

The Conference is hosted by the Entrepreneur and Small Business Committee of the CanChamHK with the generous support of sponsors who share our mission to ensure that the investors, entrepreneurs and start-ups will choose Hong Kong as a launch pad for their business success.

This support allows the Conference to fully serve the Canada-Hong Kong business community by continuing its ongoing role to connect businesses and opportunities. This happens in many ways. On November 28th of this year, one focus of the Conference will be sharing successes and challenges among Canadian companies and entrepreneurs establishing themselves in Hong Kong, the PRC and other parts of Asia.

We look forward to our collaboration with your sponsorship.

Yours sincerely,

Anthony BehanMadeleine BehanCo-Chairs, Entrepreneur and Small Business CommitteeThe Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong

ABOUT THE EVENT

Hong Kong's reputation as a renowned international business and financial centre has provided a launching ground for entrepreneurs and a platform for overseas business expansion into China and Asia. Amongst those who have contributed to this success are Canadian entrepreneurs who have launched or expanded their business in Hong Kong.

To continue building upon this entrepreneurial spirit to encourage Canadians to use Hong Kong as a platform to expand their business eastward, CanChamHK and the HKCBA bring back the Transpacific Entrepreneurial Conference on November 28, 2016.

The Third annualTransPacific EntrepreneurialJoint CanChamHK-HKCBA Conference

Hosted by CAnchamhk’s entrepreneur & small business committee

Target audience

Entrepreneurs and different industries and companies of different sizes including the micro and small enterprises (MSEs), Canadian companies in Hong Kong: both large and small; both longstanding and start-up. The Conference will act as a bridge, introducing members to experts and professionals who can provide the business intelligence they seek. We also work closely with organizations such as the Canadian Consulate, Invest Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council in order to expand our network to generate more opportunities for our members.

The Third Conference will continue to strengthen the transpacific ties between the Canadian Chamber and HKCBA. In particular, our missions are to help our members conduct business between Canada and Hong Kong and to encourage Canadian companies to utilize Hong Kong as their business “Smart Link” to China and the rest of the region. Together, we can make both Hong Kong and Canada stronger, more competitive and more connected to each other.
