HKETO Berlin promotes Hong Kong's vibrant capital market in Frankfurt
The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office, Berlin (HKETO Berlin) promoted the unique advantages of Hong Kong as an international financial centre at the Frankfurt Digital Finance conference held in Frankfurt, Germany, on February 11 and 12 (Frankfurt time).
The Frankfurt Digital Finance is a two-day international conference dedicated to accelerating innovation and advancing the digital transformation of Europe's financial industry. Around 1 500 decision-makers across Europe attended the conference, including government officials, leaders from banks, regulators, investment and academia sectors.
The Director of HKETO Berlin, Mr Indiana Wong, attended a panel discussion titled "Transformation and Venture Capital: The Role of Public and Private Players for Accelerating Digital Growth". He discussed Hong Kong's crucial role as a "super connector" between the Chinese Mainland and the world, promoting the stable business and investment environment that makes Hong Kong a vital market for global investors amid complex geopolitical tensions and digital transformation.
"Under the 'one country, two systems' framework, Hong Kong has unique advantages, such as high connectivity with China and the free flow of capital. The Hong Kong financial market delivered a strong performance in 2025. The initial public offering market raised over HK$280 billion, placing Hong Kong at the top of fund-raising rankings and reflecting investors' confidence in Hong Kong," said Mr Wong.
Mr Wong also promoted the vast potential and opportunities provided by the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area market. Hong Kong serves a dual flow of trade and investments, bringing companies from Europe to China and Hong Kong on the one hand, and bringing enterprises in China and Hong Kong to go global on the other. He encouraged German enterprises to set up or expand businesses in Hong Kong as a gateway to access to the Greater China market. He also introduced the strengths of Hong Kong's cross-sector professional services, which could support enterprises on the Chinese Mainland in expanding globally.
The Investment Promotion Unit of HKETO Berlin and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council Frankfurt Office also participated in the European Fintech Day held on the second day of the conference, promoting the vibrant fintech ecosystem in Hong Kong.
