Hong Kong Showcases Logistics Strengths at Business Events in Hungary and Central Europe.

HKETO Berlin promotes Hong Kong's strength in Budapest, Warsaw and Prague

The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office, Berlin (HKETO Berlin), in collaboration with Invest Hong Kong (InvestHK) and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), co-organised a series of business and investment promotion events under the Economic and Trade Express (ETE) to showcase the vibrant developments and opportunities brought by Hong Kong.

Hungary is emerging as Europe's central logistics hub and an important gateway to Europe for Asian companies. Speaking at the spring reception on March 10 (Budapest time) held in Budapest, Hungary, the Director of HKETO Berlin, Mr Indiana Wong, highlighted Hong Kong's strengths and position as a premier international logistics hub in Asia to representatives from Hungarian government agencies, business, trading and investment sectors, as well as Chinese enterprises.

"With our free port status, world-class infrastructure and comprehensive sea, land and air transport networks, Hong Kong has long been renowned for high efficiency in customs clearance and strong global connectivity. This underscores the strong potential to deepen our co-operation in logistics - by linking Hong Kong's strengths as an Asia-facing logistics and transshipment hub with Hungary's role as a gateway to Europe, and by developing more efficient and resilient supply-chain solutions for businesses serving both European and Asian markets."

The HKETO Berlin, InvestHK and the HKTDC also co-organised spring receptions in Warsaw, Poland, on March 11 (Warsaw time) and Prague, Czechia, on March 12 (Prague time). Business seminars were also held to introduce the latest developments in Hong Kong and the one-stop ETE platform, which supports enterprises to go global and expand overseas.
