Together, they have a combined population of some 2.7 billion potential consumers,” he added.

The HKTDC successfully arranged over 1600 one to one business matching meetings and various networking events to further connect Hong Kong and Cineses mainland suppliers with potential buyers.

The main attraction of the Expo was the popular hktdc.com Small Orders.
This showcased over 150!products available for orders from a mere 5 pcs to 1000 units to help buyers to buy in smaller quantities to check the markets  thereby minimizing their financial risk. A really worthwhile step.

A very welcome event held by HKTDC greatly appreciated by both suppliers from Hong Kong and Mainland China and Buyers from across Asia and world over.

Hope HKTDC holds many more such events to facilitate the growing business between Hong Kong and Mainland China.

A really commendable effort
