We continue to work with all financial centres internationally including the Middle East region. Hence, the Club bears a crucial role and responsibility for fostering friendlier business cultures, shared values and the city's image."

Patrick Tsang, Founder of the HKAC, stated, "Hong Kong is best known as a financial powerhouse in international trade and investment and boasts one of the world's top stock markets; however, the city's privileged position has not gone unchallenged, especially after its shutdown of business travel during the epidemic. Therefore, with the border reopening, it is now time for us to rejuvenate the Hong Kong market and tell our existing and potential partners overseas the advantages of Hong Kong to drive the economic growth and explore new sources of opportunities – the reason we started this initiative. We have already gained support from our advisory board members, including Prof Sir Chris Evans OBE, internationally renowned scientific entrepreneur, Jim Mellon, Chairman and Co-Founder of Juvenescence, Steven Lam, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of GogoX, Maurice Lee, the Partner of Maurice W M Lee Solicitors in Hong Kong, and Tom Hudson, a renowned connector and businessman in the UAE – all of them are happy to lend their expertise in different areas and help us build valuable networks to grow our community."

Andre Kwok, Executive Director of the HKAC, added, "At the organisational level, the Club is planning to organise bilateral trade business and investment delegation visits among strategic markets for Hong Kong such as the Middle East, South East Asia, and the Greater Bay Area, and facilitate partnerships and collaborations between the senior leaders in the public and private sectors. While at the individual level, the HKAC will offer its members unique opportunities, like high-level and official conferences, roundtables and receptions. We will also inaugurate honorary Goodwill Ambassadors with top business leaders and public figures around the world with outstanding merits in different areas to promote Hong Kong."
