The steering committee for the Task Force on Supporting Mainland Enterprises in Going Global (GoGlobal Task Force), chaired by Secretary for Commerce & Economic Development Algernon Yau, held its first meeting today.

At the session, the steering committee approved its terms of reference and discussed the overall strategies of the GoGlobal Task Force in the future and related publicity and promotion work.

Mr Yau said the GoGlobal Task Force aims to build a bridge for Mainland enterprises to the world by gathering professionals from various sectors, encouraging more Mainland enterprises to use Hong Kong as a springboard to expand globally in an orderly way.

The task force will strengthen collaboration across policy bureaus, departments, organisations and sectors, proactively providing comprehensive and timely support for the Mainland enterprises, he added.

“By leveraging the global network and extensive experience of its partners, the GoGlobal Task Force will be able to provide comprehensive support to Mainland enterprises.

“In line with the national policy and direction of encouraging Mainland enterprises to 'go global', it will assist these enterprises to expand their international business in an orderly manner, transforming the task force into a new driver for Hong Kong's economy, and further consolidate the city's position as an international business and trade hub.”
