China's Greater Bay Area: Bridging the Gap between Canada and Asia

 

Being one of the world’s most dynamic and important manufacturing bases and China’s most open and market-driven region, the Guangdong-HK-Macau Bay Area holds the key to China’s development and its integration with the world. The Bay Area also holds great promises for Canadian firms, especially in midst of trade and other adversities.

Join us for the HKCBA Vancouver AGM and breakfast September 14th, 2018 for an in-depth discussion on economic and policy developments in the Bay Area which are creating opportunities for Canadian companies.
