www.hketo.ca offers a “One-stop” service to Canadian businesses planning to invest in Hong Kong
Press Release - September 27, 2001
Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (Canada) has enhanced and revamped its official website www.hketo.ca to offer more comprehensive and practical information to Canadian businesses that have an eye for the Hong Kong market.
To Canadian corporations that aspire to expand and grow in Asia, Hong Kong is their natural choice. Setting up a business in Hong Kong requires thorough research on the investment environment of Hong Kong, which is often very time-consuming.
"Our new website is created to offer a 'One-stop' service to Canadian businesses that intend to gather practical information on setting up an operation in Hong Kong. It serves as a ‘gateway to Hong Kong’ for Canadian business," said Mrs Rosanna Ure, Director of the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office.
"To better serve our Canadian business partners, we have adopted an easy ‘DIY’ approach to provide them with general information on business and investment opportunities in Hong Kong, as well as a step-by-step practical manual in setting up their business," Mrs Ure added.
"Of course, for Canadian businesses who want specific assistance on, for example, detailed information on certain industry or sector or potential Hong Kong partners, they are welcome to get in touch with the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (Canada). The Investment Promotion Unit of the office offers free-of-charge and confidential consultancy services to these Canadian enterprises," Mrs Ure emphasized.
Some of the headlines of the website include:
About Hong Kong - provides an overview of the city’s socio-economic systems, as well as a monthly highlight that helps you “Explore Hong Kong – Asia’s world city”.
Investing in Hong Kong - a step-by-step approach to research on the potentials of different industries in Hong Kong, including a practical manual

FAQ – provides basic information to some frequently asked questions.
In addition, Canadian businesses who are interested to do business with Hong Kong government will find the information on government’s invitation for supply of goods and services useful.
