GOGBA DAY
HKTDC launched the GoGBA one-stop platform since June 2021 to help businesses capture the tremendous opportunities of the GBA. The GoGBA covers wide-ranging support, including online and offline promotion events, advisory services, networking and market intelligence. So far, we have already organised more than 70 GBA-themed sharing sessions, consultation workshops and business missions; over 3,400 people have used our GoGBA Centres in SZO and other GoGBA partners for activities and consultation. The GoGBA digital platforms (go-gba.com and GoGBA WeChat mini-programme & OA account) have also attracted more than 470,000 organic views. Our key stakeholders are very enthusiastic about this new initiative.
We are pleased to inform you that we are organising a GoGBA Day on 22 Sept 2022. It will be an informal day of resources targeting international businesses to help them get holistic information and advice on the GBA. This half-day programme will include four practical info sessions (in a hybrid format with online access) provided by GBA experts from various local authorities and strategic partners (HK Family organisations, Qianhai/ Nansha offices in HK, professional services etc.)
Please find our GoGBA Day eDM (https://info.hktdc.com/dm/178226/index_web.html) for the programme details.
