Hong Kong has proven itself to be a safe, stable and secure business and investment hub with abundant opportunities for German businesses, the head of the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Berlin told a seminar in Munich this week.
Leveraged by the special administrative region’s close connectivity with the Chinese mainland and the world under “one country, two systems”, the city serves as a “super connector” and “super value-adder”, offering a favorable business environment and an unparalleled access point to the vast Asian markets,” Indiana Wong Man-chung, director of the office, said at the event on Thursday.
Senior executives, investors and experts from the business community joined the seminar, entitled “Hong Kong’s Strategic Role amidst Geopolitical Tensions", for in-depth discussions on the SAR’s unique positions as a global financial, trade, and innovation hubs as international dynamics evolve.
Pointing out that current geopolitical tensions and escalations are prompting investors and entrepreneurs to reassess their global strategies, Wong said Hong Kong continues to excel in various international rankings, including those concerning the economy, finance and talents.

The World Competitiveness Yearbook 2026, published by the International Institute for Management Development on Thursday, saw Hong Kong’s ranking rising for the third consecutive year to second globally this year.
Representatives of Invest Hong Kong – the HKSAR government department responsible for foreign direct investment – also joined discussions with the German business community, sharing how Hong Kong serves as a premier gateway connecting the Chinese mainland and the world, leveraging the city’s robust common law system and free flow of capital and information.
The seminar was part of the joint business and investment promotion events under the Economic and Trade Express.
During his stay in Munich, Wong called on the Economic and Commercial Counselor of the Chinese Consulate-General in Munich, Guo Fang, to exchange views on bilateral relations between the HKSAR and Germany.
