The Conference is hosted by the Entrepreneur and Small

This support allows the Conference to fully serve the Canada-
Hong Kong business community by continuing its ongoing
role to connect businesses and opportunities. This happens
in many ways. On November 28th of this year, one focus of
the Conference will be sharing successes and challenges
among Canadian companies and entrepreneurs establishing
themselves in Hong Kong, the PRC and other parts of Asia.
We look forward to our collaboration with your sponsorship.

ABOUT THE EVENT
Hong Kong's reputation as a renowned international
business and financial centre has provided a
launching ground for entrepreneurs and a platform
for overseas business expansion into China and Asia.

expanded their business in Hong Kong.
To continue building upon this entrepreneurial
spirit to encourage Canadians to use Hong Kong
as a platform to expand their business eastward,
CanChamHK and the HKCBA bring back the
Transpacific Entrepreneurial Conference on
