 Canada-based Research In Motion (RIM) has expanded its Hong Kong office as part of a major push into the Asia-Pacific region.
The expansion is the latest in a series of announcements that has seen RIM significantly step up its presence in Asia-Pacific. The office will serve as regional headquarters to assist Research In Motion in markets such as Greater China, South Korea, Japan, India, Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia.
"Hong Kong boasts a superb business network, advanced infrastructure, and a highly skilled labour force, making it an ideal location to base our Asia-Pacific operations," said Norm Lo, Vice President of Asia Pacific at Research In Motion.
John Rutherford, Associate Director-General of Investment Promotion at Invest Hong Kong said: "RIM's expansion will enrich our technology sectors and enhance our overall competitiveness. We at Invest Hong Kong wish RIM every success in its future development locally, regionally and internationally."
According to Mr Lo, Hong Kong already occupies a special place in RIM's history, because Hutchison, now 3 Hong Kong, was the first carrier to introduce BlackBerry to Asia-Pacific. The company currently works with over 25 carriers in 16 markets in Asia Pacific and will add approximately 10 more carrier partners in the region by the end of this year.
