Hey fam! 🤩 A power-packed delegation from the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) just touched down in northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Their mission? To bridge Hong Kong’s top-tier funding, services and innovation skills with Xinjiang’s prime location, resources and industries. Think of it as South Asia meets Central Asia vibes! 🌏
During the launch event in Hong Kong, Cui Jianchun, the commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the HKSAR, highlighted how this collab can unlock fresh business lanes. Imagine combining Hong Kong’s financial hubs and fintech smarts with Xinjiang’s vast agricultural lands and mineral reserves—win-win! 💼💡
David Whitwam, chairman of the New Zealand Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong, is especially hyped about dairy tech. 🥛 He’s looking to pick up the latest in breeding dairy cattle and processing dairy products, then bring that know-how back home. Essentially, he wants farm-to-bottle innovation that’s traceable, sustainable and delicious!
Next stop: Urumqi, Kashi and Yining—home to Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) cooperation zones, fruit processing firms and dairy companies. 🍎 From orchard tours to high-tech dairy plants, this week-long trip is all about hands-on learning and brokering partnerships. Who knows? The next viral startup might just be born on this journey! 🚀
For our mobile-first crowd in South and Southeast Asia, this is a blueprint for cross-border collaboration. Whether you’re into agritech, supply-chain apps or eco-friendly farming, keep an eye on these hubs. Big things happen when diverse regions team up! ✨
