Senior Communications & Public Affairs Executive

Established in 1966

The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) is a
statutory body that promotes, assists and develops Hong Kong’s trade, with the
support of our 51 offices worldwide.

We help businesses large and small connect with growth and collaboration
opportunities globally, while highlighting Hong Kong’s unique strengths and
advantages and reinforcing its dual role as superconnector and super
value-adder, linking China and the world.

We do so via our international trade fairs, industry conferences and industry
missions, offering innovative offline-online event experiences. From embarking
on missions to staging Hong Kong pavilions at leading mainland and overseas
fairs as well as roadshows, our outreach also fosters opportunities and
strengthens ties with the Chinese Mainland and our many international trading
partners.

In a world marked by constant change, our programmes provide comprehensive
tailor-made support to help businesses, in particular SMEs and start-ups, be
future-ready and thrive. Complementing this, our research reports and digital
news channels offer the latest market information to enable businesses to make
informed business decisions and accelerate their expansion plans.

As we celebrate our 60th anniversary in 2026 and begin a new three-year business
cycle, our mission remains as strong as ever to help Hong Kong thrive in trade
and businesses succeed in the ever-changing landscape.
