Dr. Wong highlighted four key gateways that continue to drive Hong Kong’s success:  #talentattraction ,  #education ,  #innovation , and  #culture . Despite facing various challenges, these gateways continue to open up new opportunities for Hong Kong. Dr. Wong also emphasized the resilience of Hong Kong’s people, which has been a key factor in overcoming adversity. Additionally, she pointed out Hong Kong's advantages, including its efficient banking system, strong connectivity to the global market, top universities, low tax rates, and low crime rates —factors that continue to attract global investment and talent.  The luncheon provided attendees with a deeper understanding of Hong Kong's vital role as a global hub and its capacity to thrive in a rapidly changing world. === We look forward to celebrating with you and seeing everyone at our next event.
