Brief Description 3 Invest Hong Kong s mission is to spearhead Hong Kong s efforts to attract and retain foreign direct investment. It places emphasis on attracting companies in priority sectors with the potential to contribute to Hong Kong s economic development, and encouraging multinational companies to locate their global or regional headquarters and other strategic functions in Hong Kong to access opportunities on the Mainland and elsewhere. 4 In 2013, Invest Hong Kong conducted over 6 000 meetings with target companies in key geographic markets. It also focused on encouraging companies from the Mainland, Taiwan and emerging markets such as the Association of Southeast Asia Nations (ASEAN), to set up operations in Hong Kong. In close collaboration with partners from the Pearl River Delta region, it conducted joint promotion seminars in overseas cities such as Auckland, Berlin and Taipei to promote the combined advantages of Hong Kong and the Mainland. The marketing campaign, aimed at promoting Hong Kong as an ideal platform for Mainland companies to go global, continued with promotions in high-growth Mainland cities such as Wuhan, Zhengzhou, Wuxi, Guangzhou, Xiamen, Guiyang, Haikou, Nanning, Changsha, Dalian, Changchun, and Harbin. 5 Invest Hong Kong also embarked on a major StartmeupHK programme comprising an integrated social media-led marketing campaign and a website platform to promote Hong Kong as a global hub for startups. 6 Invest Hong Kong provides one-to-one support services to companies throughout the planning and execution of their expansion in Hong Kong. The Department continues to strengthen its aftercare support service to multinational companies already established in Hong Kong. 660
