November 5 - 6, 2026
Strengthening Hong Kong–ASEAN Business Connections
Singapore ETO and InvestHK supported the 11th ASEAN Young Entrepreneurs Carnival 2026, held in Manila, the Philippines, from Nov 5 to 6.
The Carnival brought together over 100 young entrepreneurs, business leaders, investors, and policymakers from across ASEAN and partner economies. It provided an important regional platform to exchange views on cross-border trade, MSME development, financing, digital transformation, and sustainable economic growth.
As a panellist in one of the sessions, Melvin Lee (Head, Investment Promotion of Singapore ETO) highlighted Hong Kong’s role as an international business and financial centre, and its value as a gateway for ASEAN enterprises seeking capital, professional services, market access, and expansion opportunities in Mainland China and global markets.
Singapore ETO and InvestHK remain committed to deepening Hong Kong–ASEAN economic ties and supporting the region’s entrepreneurs as they pursue new opportunities for growth, innovation, and international collaborations.
