A Vision for the Next Chapter of Industry 為業界領航 續顯工業輝煌 LEADERSHIP VIEWS | 我觀我見 I extend my sincere gratitude to the General Committee for the trust and support they have shown in electing me as Chairman of Federation of Hong Kong Industries (FHKI) for the 2025-2027 term. I also offer my heartfelt appreciation to Dr Steve Chuang for his exemplary leadership over the past two years. Under his guidance, FHKI made significant strides in advancing innovation, promoting advanced manufacturing, and assisting our member companies with upgrading and exploring emerging markets. Stepping into this role, I recognise it as not merely an honour, but a profound responsibility. Over the next two years, I, together with the Executive Deputy Chairmen, Deputy Chairmen, and the General Committee, will dedicate ourselves wholeheartedly to guiding the industry and continuing its legacy of excellence. Having been part of the industrial sector for over three decades, I have witnessed its constant evolution. Despite facing numerous challenges, Hong Kong’s industrial sector has consistently emerged stronger, remaining a steadfast pillar of our economy. Hong Kong now stands at a crucial juncture of economic transformation. As Chairman of FHKI, I am acutely aware of the weight of this responsibility. I will work closely with my colleagues and industry peers to forge new opportunities for Hong Kong. 感謝理事會的信任和支持，推選本人出 任工總2025至2027年度主席。同時， 我衷心感謝莊子雄博士過去兩年帶領 工總，在推動創科、先進製造業、協助企 業會員升級轉型及開拓新興市場等各方 面，取得顯著成就。作為新任主席，我深 知這不僅是一份榮譽，更是一份責任。在 接下來的兩年，我和主席團以及理事會 成員必定會全力以赴，為業界領航，續顯 工業輝煌。 我投身工業界已超過三十載，見證行業 不斷轉變。香港工業即使經過風風雨雨， 但每次都更茁壯成長，一直是香港經濟 發展的堅實支柱。當前，香港正處於經濟 轉型的十字路口。作為工總主席，我深感 責任重大。我將與主席團及業界同仁 緊密合作，致力為香港開創新機遇。 ANTHONY LAM 林世豪 CHAIRMAN 主席 6 | 8-10/2025
把握轉型契機 開拓多元市場 全球政經格局急劇轉變，地緣政治風險持續升 溫，加上關稅政策的衝擊加劇國際貿易格局的 重塑，香港正處於經濟轉型與產業變革的關鍵 時刻。為實現高質量發展，香港必須以產業導 向為主軸，推動傳統產業升級轉型，同時大力 扶持新興產業，為本地經濟發展注入新動能。 工總深明市場多元化的重要性，我們已著手開 拓具潛力的新興市場。隨著香港人口快速老 齡化，對樂齡產品和服務的需求持續上升，銀 髮市場蘊藏龐大商機。有見及此，工總將在來 年推出「香港樂悠Q嘜計劃」，認證優質樂齡 產品，推動業界提升產品設計和生產標準。另 一方面，全球穆斯林人口接近世界人口四分之 一，消費力與日俱增，將成為香港未來的重要 客源與經濟增長動力。工總已率先推出「香港 Q嘜優質清真計劃」，提升本地的清真友善環 境，未來更會推動清真餐飲普及化，開拓嶄新 商機。 緊扣國家戰略 推動創新發展 2025年是國家《十四五規劃綱要》收官之年， 亦是制訂「十五五」規劃的關鍵時期。香港特 區政府積極對接國家發展戰略，推出《北部都 會區發展策略》及《香港創新科技發展藍圖》 等政策，為本地發展新質生產力提供有利條 件。工總將充分把握這個歷史機遇，全力推動 香港向先進製造業邁進，並發揮香港在科研、 國際網絡和商業信譽方面的優勢，將香港打造 成為國際創新科技中心及高增值產業樞紐。 未來兩年，工總將重點推動先進材料及電子科 技、大健康產業、綠色科技，以及食品科技與 加工業的發展。同時，我們將積極拓展知識產 權交易，並參與北部都會區建設，推動產業升 級，提升香港整體競爭力。在複雜的外圍環境 下，我們將協助港商在「一帶一路」沿線及「全 球南方」新興市場開拓商機，進一步連接內地 和國際市場，發揮「超級聯繫人」和「超級增值 人」的角色。 工總擁有逾二千間會員企業，薈萃各行各業精 英。作為香港工業界最忠誠的夥伴，我與各位 常務副主席、副主席以及理事會成員必定會竭 盡所能，秉承工總的創會宗旨，凝聚工業界力 量，為「品牌•香港」這個金漆招牌增光添彩， 共創工業新篇章。 Seizing Transformation to Explore New Markets The global political and economic landscape is shifting dramatically. Geopolitical risks are escalating, and the impact of tariff policies is accelerating the reshaping of international trade. Hong Kong is therefore at a critical moment of economic transformation and industrial change. To achieve high-quality development, Hong Kong must pursue an industry-led strategy. This involves driving the transformation of traditional industries whilst vigorously supporting emerging sectors to inject new momentum into our economy. FHKI understands the importance of market diversification and has already begun to explore promising new markets. With Hong Kong’s rapidly ageing population, the demand for products and services for older people is rising, presenting significant opportunities within the “silver economy”. In response, FHKI will launch the Silver Q-Mark Scheme in the coming year. This Scheme will certify high-quality products for seniors, encouraging the industry to raise its standards in product design and manufacturing. Furthermore, the global Muslim population, which accounts for nearly a quarter of the world’s total, represents a market of steadily increasing purchasing power. This demographic is set to become a vital customer base and a key driver of Hong Kong’s economic growth. FHKI has already taken the lead by introducing the Hong Kong Q-Mark Halal Scheme to foster a more halal-friendly environment. Looking ahead, we will promote the wider availability of halal dining to unlock new commercial opportunities. Fostering Innovation in Line with National Strategy The year 2025 marks the end of the National 14th Five-Year Plan and is a critical period for formulating the 15th Five-Year Plan. The HKSAR Government is actively aligning with these national strategies through initiatives such as the Northern Metropolis Development Strategy and the Hong Kong Innovation and Technology Development Blueprint. These policies create favourable conditions for developing new quality productive forces locally. FHKI is poised to seize this historic opportunity. We are fully committed to steering Hong Kong’s progression towards advanced manufacturing, leveraging our city’s strengths in research, international networks, and commercial integrity to establish it as an international I&T centre and a hub for high-value industries. Over the next two years, FHKI will focus on promoting key sectors: advanced materials and electronics, the comprehensive health and wellness industry, green technology, and food technology and processing. At the same time, we will actively promote intellectual property transactions and participate in the development of the Northern Metropolis, driving industrial upgrades and enhancing Hong Kong’s overall competitiveness. In a complex global environment, we will help Hong Kong businesses explore opportunities in markets along the Belt and Road Initiative and within the Global South. By strengthening connections between local companies, the Mainland, and international markets, we will fulfil Hong Kong’s role as a “super-connector” and “super value-adder”. FHKI brings together over 2,000 member companies, representing the elite from across all sectors of industry. As the industrial sector’s most committed partner, I, alongside the leadership team and the General Committee, pledge to uphold the founding principles of FHKI. Together, we will unite the industrial community to burnish the reputation of the prestigious “Brand•Hong Kong”, as we embark on a new chapter of industrial excellence. 8-10/2025 | 7
Cultivating Industrial Talent with VPET Industrial-Educational Collaboration to Power Hong Kong’s Future 推動職專教育培育工業人才 產學合作 為香港未來注入新動力 LEADERSHIP VIEWS | 我觀我見 EXECUTIVE DEPUTY CHAIRMAN 常務副主席 DEPUTY CHAIRMAN 副主席 In an age defined by artificial intelligence and big data, Hong Kong is facing an acute shortage of skilled technical professionals. FHKI is taking proactive steps to bridge the gap between education and industry. Recently, FHKI partnered with the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation to launch the fourth cohort of the “Innopreneur Experience Journey”, providing over 50 students with valuable placement opportunities. Through a three-day Executive Shadowing Scheme, students engaged directly with cutting-edge technologies in real business settings, gaining first-hand insights into new industrialisation. Initiatives such as these are critical to easing the city’s talent shortfall. According to the Government’s Report on 2023 Manpower Projection, Hong Kong’s labour market is under considerable strain, with a projected manpower shortage of 180,000 by 2028. Of this, “skilled technical workers” alone will account for over one-third of the total deficit. FHKI believes that attracting and nurturing talent equipped with technical expertise, creativity, and adaptability is pivotal to the successful upgrading and transformation of Hong Kong’s industries. Diversified Strategies to Attract Talent FHKI welcomes the Government’s introduction of the “Technical Professional (TP) List”, which opens new channels for individuals from overseas to work in eight skilled trades suffering acute shortages. We recommend that the TP List be subject to regular review, ensuring it remains aligned with industry needs and accelerates the development of new industries. Many companies continue to report difficulties in recruiting mid-level and entry-level skilled workers locally, such as quality management managers and equipment operators. To address this issue, FHKI proposes the establishment of a dedicated platform to match businesses with overseas technical professionals. In parallel, we urge the enhancement of facilities in the Hetao Shenzhen-Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Co-operation Zone to build a more attractive environment for global talent. The continuation of the Enhanced Supplementary Labour Scheme is also essential to tackle pressing shortages. 在人工智能與大數據時代，香港面臨技術人才短 缺的挑戰。工總積極連接教育界與產業界，近日 與香港科技園公司合辦第四屆「工業 x 創科體驗 之旅」，為超過50名學生提供寶貴的業界實習機 會。學生通過三天的行政人員工作影子計劃，親 身接觸先進技術與真實業務環境，深入了解新型 工業發展。這類校企合作正是解決人才短缺的重 要一環。 根據政府《2023年人力推算報告》，香港勞動市 場緊張，預計2028年人力缺口將達18萬，其中 「熟練技術人員」短缺尤為嚴重，佔總缺口超過 三分之一。工總認為，吸納和培育具技術、創意 與應變能力的人才，是香港產業升級轉型的關鍵 所在。 多元引才策略 推動產業創新 工總歡迎政府編制「技術專才清單」，允許外來 人士透過新增渠道申請來港，投身八項人力極短 缺的技術工種。我們期望政府定期檢視清單，確 保包含業界最需要的技術專才，加速香港新型工 業發展。 不少企業難以在本地招聘中層及基層技術人才， 如品質管理經理、設備操作員等。工總建議設立 專門配對平台，便利企業與境外技術人才對接， 並完善河套深港科技創新合作區的配套設施，營 造吸引人才的環境。同時，應繼續實行「補充勞 工優化計劃」，緩解業界燃眉之急。 RICKY CHAN 陳偉聰 PETER SHUM 岑健偉 8 | 8-10/2025
提升職專教育 培育本地技術人才 長遠而言，香港應善用職專教育補充勞動力缺 口。兩所大學已升格為應用科學大學，有助完善 職專教育階梯。工總作為推動者與受益者，期望 透過參與課程設計及提供實踐機會，減少學生 「學用落差」。 自資院校開辦課程的審批時間動輒要一至兩年， 不利院校適時培育市場最急需的人才。工總樂見 近期自資院校課程審批權下放至教育局局長， 有望加快審批流程。工總期望應科大開辦更多 配合產業需求的課程，如智能製造、工業設計、 產品檢測等，並增設選修科目提升學生新作業 技能，如電子商貿及人工智能應用等，同時為在 職人士提供深造文憑課程，實現終身學習。 啟發青年興趣 為工業未來鋪路 中學階段是學生生涯規劃的關鍵期。工總希望應用學 習科目能更貼近新型工業發展，並將繼續透過「商 校合作計劃」及各類創科活動，協助學生發掘志向。 正如「工業 x 創科體驗之旅」所展示的，當學生有 機會親身體驗工業環境，更容易激發他們的興趣與 潛能。 工總將持續推動業界與學界緊密合作，如參與「學與 教博覽」，積極推廣以創新科技驅動的教育學習， 從中小學階段提升學生對創科及工業的認知，為建構 香港成為國際創科中心培育更多優秀人才，共同開創 香港工業的新篇章。 Strengthening VPET to Nurture Technical Professionals A sustainable solution lies in strengthening vocational and professional education and training (VPET) to supplement manpower needs. The recent upgrade of two institutions to the status of University of Applied Sciences (UAS) marks a positive step in building a coherent VPET ladder. As both facilitator and beneficiary, FHKI will continue to participate in curriculum design and to provide practical training opportunities, thereby narrowing the “education-employment mismatch”. At present, the course approval process for self-financing institutions can take one to two years, impeding the timely supply of urgently needed talent. FHKI therefore welcomes the Government’s recent reforms, which delegate approval authority to the Secretary for Education, potentially streamlining procedures. We also encourage the UASs to broaden their scope of programmes in response to industry demand – particularly in smart manufacturing, industrial design, product testing, and related fields – while also offering elective modules in areas such as e-commerce and artificial intelligence to equip students with modern workplace skills. Additionally, FHKI recommends Postgraduate Diplomas for in-service employees to enable continuous upskilling and lifelong learning. Inspiring the Next Generation Secondary school is a crucial stage for career planning. FHKI hopes that Applied Learning subjects will be better aligned with the direction of new industrialisation, helping students to explore their aspirations through initiatives such as the Business-School Partnership Programme. As demonstrated by the Innopreneur Experience Journey, when students are given opportunities to experience real industrial settings, their interest and potential can be sparked more effectively. FHKI will also continue to foster close collaboration between academia and industry, including through participation in major events such as the Learning & Teaching Expo, to promote technology-driven approaches to education. By nurturing students’ understanding of innovation and technology (I&T) and industry from the primary and secondary levels onwards, FHKI aims to inspire a new generation of talent. Such efforts will help Hong Kong realise its vision of becoming an international I&T centre, opening a new chapter in the city’s industrial future. 8-10/2025 | 9
Forging Hong Kong’s Future as an International Hub for Responsible Supply 香港轉型刻不容緩 打造「負責任供應鏈 國際樞紐」 LEADERSHIP VIEWS | 我觀我見 EXECUTIVE DEPUTY CHAIRMAN 常務副主席 DEPUTY CHAIRMAN 副主席 In the face of global supply chain restructuring and shifting trade dynamics, it is imperative that Hong Kong seizes the opportunity to transform and upgrade, thereby reinforcing its status as an international trade centre. FHKI has proposed the initiative to establish an “International Hub for Responsible Supply Chains”, leveraging Hong Kong's unique advantages to assist businesses in adapting to this new landscape. Building an Efficient and Reliable Supply Chain Platform The “International Hub for Responsible Supply Chains” entails the establishment of an efficient and reliable supply chain management and certification platform, ensuring that every link in the chain adheres to international standards and requirements. This encompasses diverse aspects, including product quality control, supplier management, the protection of labour rights, and environmental conservation measures. By capitalising on its status as an international financial centre and its comprehensive professional services, Hong Kong can provide all-encompassing support for businesses throughout the supply chain. This includes trade, financing, and insurance, whilst also serving as a compliance assessor and quality gatekeeper. Such a role will assist companies in meeting international standards and ensure their operations conform to a wide array of regulations. Hong Kong boasts a well-established legal framework, internationally recognised professional services, a zero-tariff regime, and a vast talent pool. Coupled with local enterprises expanding their manufacturing operations globally and adopting flexible business models, these advantages uniquely position Hong Kong to develop as a supply chain hub connecting Mainland China with international markets. Developing into an “International Hub for Responsible Supply Chains” will not only enhance Hong Kong’s global competitiveness but also deliver multiple benefits to the local economy. Firstly, this initiative will attract more multinational corporations to establish procurement and operational centres in Hong Kong, thereby stimulating the growth of related industries. Secondly, by establishing unified supply 面對全球供應鏈重組與貿易格局轉變，香港必 須把握時機轉型升級，鞏固國際貿易中心地 位。工總提出打造「負責任供應鏈國際樞紐」 的倡議，善用香港獨特優勢，協助企業適應新 形勢。 建構高效可靠的供應鏈平台 「負責任供應鏈國際樞紐」是指建立一個高 效、可靠的供應鏈管理及認證平台，確保供應 鏈中的每個環節都符合國際標準和要求。這包 括產品質量控制、供應商管理、勞工權益保 障、環境保護措施等多個層面。香港憑藉其國 際金融中心優勢及完善的專業服務，可為供 應鏈上的企業提供貿易、融資、保險等全方位 支援，同時擔當合規評估者及品質把關者的角 色，協助企業達到國際標準要求，並確保其營 運符合各項規範。 香港擁有完善的法律制度、國際認可的專業服 務、零關稅優惠及龐大的人才庫，加上本地企 業在全球各地設廠，具備靈活的營運模式。這 些優勢使香港有條件發展成為連接內地與國際 市場的供應鏈樞紐。發展成為「負責任供應鏈 國際樞紐」不僅可以提升香港的國際競爭力， 更能為本地經濟帶來多重效益。首先，這將吸 引更多跨國企業來港設立採購及營運中心，帶 動相關產業發展。其次，透過建立統一的供應 KAREN CHAN 陳嘉賢 CLARA CHAN 陳婉珊 10 | 8-10/2025
鏈標準和認證體系，可強化香港作為品質保證 及合規把關者的角色。此外，這亦有助本地企 業升級轉型，開拓高增值市場，創造更多優質 就業機會。 應對全球供應鏈新挑戰 隨著各國加強對企業環境、社會與管治（ESG） 的要求，供應鏈合規標準不斷提高。歐盟實施 碳邊境調整機制（CBAM）、美國收緊環保法 規等政策，都為企業帶來新挑戰。未能及時適 應的企業將面臨被市場淘汰的風險。作為「負 責任供應鏈國際樞紐」，香港可協助企業理解 和適應這些新規定，並提供相應的解決方案和 支援服務，確保供應鏈的可持續發展。 針對企業面臨的挑戰，工總推出多項支援計劃。 首先是「Q-Carbon」與「Q-ESG」認證計劃， 為中小企提供一站式支援。「Q-Carbon」以循 序漸進的方式，協助企業提升碳審計能力及推廣 碳管理最佳做法；「Q-ESG」則協助企業建立 ESG審計能力，推動企業採用ESG管理的最佳實 踐方案。工總亦會推出《碳管理實務指南》，為 製造業提供實用的碳管理框架，詳細解釋CBAM 要求。工總更正籌備「碳管理網上平台」，促進 知識分享。 多方配合 共建未來 要實現「負責任供應鏈國際樞紐」的目標，需 要多方配合。在政府層面，應提供稅務優惠和 資助，支持企業投資相關系統與設備；同時需 要加強跨界合作，建立跨行業資訊共享平台， 統一標準。在人才培育方面，應加強ESG管 理、碳會計等專業培訓。企業亦需主動將合規 要求納入營運策略，提升競爭力。 香港要在新一輪全球競爭中保持優勢，必須把 握轉型機遇。透過政策支持、市場參與及各 界努力，香港可在全球供應鏈重組中發揮關鍵 作用，為本地企業開拓新機遇，鞏固國際貿易 中心地位。成功打造「負責任供應鏈國際樞 紐」，不但能提升香港在全球供應鏈中的戰略 地位，更可推動本地產業向高增值方向發展， 為香港經濟注入新動力。 chain standards and certification systems, Hong Kong can strengthen its role as a guarantor of quality and compliance. Furthermore, this initiative will help local businesses to upgrade and transform, opening up high-value markets and creating more high-quality employment opportunities. Tackling New Global Supply Chain Challenges As nations worldwide strengthen their requirements regarding Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards, the compliance benchmarks for supply chains are continually rising. Policies such as the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and the tightening of environmental regulations in the United States pose new challenges for businesses. Companies that fail to adapt in a timely manner risk being eliminated from the market. As an “International Hub for Responsible Supply Chains”, Hong Kong can assist enterprises in understanding and navigating these new regulations, providing corresponding solutions and support services to ensure the long-term sustainability of their supply chains. In response to the challenges that businesses face, FHKI has launched several support initiatives. The first of these are the Q-Carbon and Q-ESG Certification Schemes, which offer one-stop support for SMEs. The Q-Carbon scheme helps companies to progressively enhance their carbon auditing capabilities and promotes best practices in carbon management. Meanwhile, the Q-ESG scheme assists businesses in establishing ESG auditing competencies and adopting best-practice solutions in ESG management. Additionally, FHKI will release carbon management guidebooks to provide the manufacturing sector with practical carbon management frameworks that clearly explain the requirements of the CBAM. FHKI is also in the process of preparing a Carbon Management Online Platform to facilitate knowledge sharing. Building a Collaborative Future To realise the vision of becoming an “International Hub for Responsible Supply Chains”, a multi-faceted approach is essential. At the governmental level, tax incentives and funding should be provided to support businesses in investing in the necessary systems and equipment. It is also vital to strengthen cross-sector collaboration by establishing an interindustry information-sharing platform to unify standards. In terms of talent cultivation, a greater emphasis should be placed on professional training in ESG management and carbon accounting. Companies, for their part, must proactively integrate compliance requirements into their operational strategies to enhance their competitiveness. For Hong Kong to maintain its advantage in this new era of global competition, it must seize the opportunity for transformation. Through policy support, market participation, and the collaborative efforts of all sectors, Hong Kong can play a pivotal role in the restructuring of global supply chains, creating new opportunities for local enterprises and reinforcing its status as an international trade centre. Successfully establishing an “International Hub for Responsible Supply Chains” will not only elevate Hong Kong’s strategic position within global supply chains but also drive local industries towards higher-value development, injecting new momentum into the Hong Kong economy. 8-10/2025 | 11
A New Paradigm for Global Growth: Hong Kong and Mainland Enterprises Partnering for Overseas Expansion 港企助力內企出海 共建國際發展新格局 LEADERSHIP VIEWS | 我觀我見 EXECUTIVE DEPUTY CHAIRMAN 常務副主席 DEPUTY CHAIRMAN 副主席 Mainland China’s enterprises are navigating a complex landscape, facing global economic volatility, geopolitical tensions, rising protectionism, soaring production costs, and intense “involution”, or cut-throat competition, in the domestic market. At the same time, the ongoing development of the Belt and Road Initiative, coupled with comprehensive national policies encouraging businesses to “go global”, is accelerating the internationalisation of Mainland firms and sparking a new wave of overseas expansion. In this climate, Hong Kong can leverage its unique advantages to support national development goals, positioning itself both as a preferred partner for Mainland companies venturing into international markets. This presents a valuable opportunity to drive the diversification of the city’s own local economy, creating a win-win situation. From Gateway to Strategic Partner: Deepening Collaboration Across the Value Chain As an international city, Hong Kong has long been the premier gateway for Mainland enterprises expanding overseas, thanks to its efficient and transparent business environment, mature financial system, and internationally-aligned legal framework. According to a HKTDC survey from last year, nearly 80% of Mainland companies view Hong Kong as their primary strategic platform for overseas expansion, choosing the city for comprehensive support in areas such as marketing, product design, financing, risk management, and professional services. However, compared with the traditional model where Hong Kong served mainly as an entrepôt or financing hub, the current wave of internationalisation involves a much deeper collaboration. There is a growing trend of Mainland enterprises moving beyond simple exports to establishing their own production capabilities abroad, building more complete and diversified global supply chains. In this process, Hong Kong is engaging in a fullspectrum partnership, from hosting R&D and high-end manufacturing bases to serving as a global headquarters for supply chain management. This signifies a shift from a 內地市場當前面對多重挑戰，對外面對全球經濟不 穩、地緣政治緊張、貿易保護主義加劇，對內面 對生產成本上升，以及內地消費競爭「內捲」嚴重 等。同時，「一帶一路」倡議的推進與國家政策對 企業「走出去」的全方位支持，正促使內地企業加 快國際化步伐，掀起新一波「出海潮」。在這股出 海浪潮中，香港能夠充分發揮自身獨特優勢，與國 家發展同頻共振，既可成為內地企業拓展國際市場 的首選夥伴，同時為本地實體經濟注入多元發展的 新動力，實現互利共贏。 深化合作模式 轉型產業鏈核心 香港作為國際都會，長期憑藉高效透明的營商環 境、成熟的金融體系及與國際接軌的法律制度，成 為內地企業「出海」的首選門戶。據去年貿發局調 查，近八成內地企業在拓展海外業務時，將香港視 為首要的戰略平台，並首選於本港尋求市場推廣、 融資、風險管理、法律及專業服務等全方位支援。 與以往主要將香港作為產品轉口或集資平台的模式 相比，新一輪內企「出海」潮下，內企更傾向與 香港深度協同合作。內地企業正轉向產業鏈出海， 在海外設廠構建更完整多元的生產布局，並與香港 展開全方位合作，包括在港設立研發和高端製造基 地，以及以香港為全球供應鏈管理總部。這不僅標 誌着兩地產業由傳統分工走向價值共創，更推動 GARY LAU 劉燊濤 HON SUNNY TAN 陳祖恒議員 12 | 8-10/2025
香港從過往的「中介」角色，轉型為產業鏈的 核心節點。香港必須抓緊這波內企出海潮，轉 化為推動本地創科發展、供應鏈管理等新經濟 動能的動力。 另一方面，這一輪出海潮同時帶動大量內地中 小企業積極參與。這些企業在「出海」時普遍 面對語言、營商文化、合規認證、缺乏商業網 絡等「水土不服」的痛點。香港企業在國際市 場經營、海外網絡搭建和專業服務方面多年的 積累，正可成為內企出海的「最佳拍檔」。港 企與內企攜手「拼船出海」，既可利用內企價 廉物美的創新產物開拓新商機，又可為內企提 供國際市場的實戰經驗和商業網絡，形成優勢 互補、資源共享的商業聯盟，在海外市場共同 營商。 工總搭建平台 聯繫兩地企業 要把握新一輪出海浪潮帶來的機遇，港企必須主 動與內企積極接軌，攜手拓展海外市場。工總一 直積極發揮平台作用，持續連結內地與本地產業 資源，通過投資簡介會、產業對接活動及跨境考 察，為企業對接夥伴、整合供應鏈、落地創新技 術搭建高效橋樑，推動產業協同共贏。 面對新一輪內企出海潮，香港的角色正從過去 的「中介平台」主動升級為「共創引擎」，在 供應鏈管理、科技創新製造與國際合作等多個 層面發揮更大價值。港企應積極把握機遇，主 動尋求與內企協作，建立兩地互補互利的新合 作典範。工總將持續推動跨境協作，發揮橋樑 和平台作用，積極促進本地企業與內地企業的 深度對接，協助港企把握內企出海帶來的新機 遇，不斷拓展合作空間，實現互利共贏。 traditional division of labour toward co-creation of value, transforming Hong Kong’s role from a mere intermediary to a central node in the global value chain. It is crucial for Hong Kong to seize this momentum from this trend to power new growth engines in I&T and supply chain management. Furthermore, this wave of overseas expansion is notable for the active participation of numerous Mainland SMEs. These companies often struggle to adapt when expanding abroad, facing challenges such as language barriers, different business culture, complex regulatory and certification requirements, and a lack of international networks. With their years of experience in international operations, extensive overseas networks, and professional service expertise, Hong Kong firms are ideally positioned to be their perfect partners. By venturing into the global market together, Hong Kong and Mainland companies can leverage their respective strengths. The innovative, high-value products from Mainland firms can unlock new business opportunities, while Hong Kong firms can contribute their practical market experience and established international networks, creating a business alliance built on complementary advantages and shared resources. FHKI Bridges Enterprises Across Hong Kong and Mainland China To capitalise on the opportunities presented by this new wave of internationalisation, Hong Kong firms must proactively seek collaboration with their Mainland counterparts to jointly explore overseas markets. FHKI has long served as a key platform for connecting industrial resources between Hong Kong and the Mainland. Through investment briefings, industry matching events, and overseas delegations, FHKI helps Hong Kong enterprises find partners, integrate supply chains, and adopt innovative technologies, fostering collaborative and mutually beneficial growth. In the light of this new wave of overseas expansion by Mainland enterprises, Hong Kong is actively upgrading its role from an “intermediary platform” to a “co-creation engine”, delivering greater value in supply chain management, technological innovation, advanced manufacturing, and international collaboration. Hong Kong enterprises should seize these opportunities and actively pursue partnerships with Mainland enterprises, establishing a new paradigm of complementary and mutually beneficial cooperation. FHKI will continue to serve as a vital bridge for the industry, facilitating cross-border collaboration and connecting Hong Kong and Mainland enterprises. By doing so, it will help local firms capitalise on global expansion opportunities and foster deeper, more prosperous partnerships for the future. 8-10/2025 | 13
Developing a Circular Economy by Integrating Waste Resources in the GBA 發展循環經濟 推動灣區廢物資源一體化 LEADERSHIP VIEWS | 我觀我見 EXECUTIVE DEPUTY CHAIRMAN 常務副主席 DEPUTY CHAIRMAN 副主席 Hong Kong's continued economic development has led to the generation of vast quantities of waste daily, placing a significant strain on the environment. According to the Environmental Protection Department's 2023 Monitoring of Solid Waste in Hong Kong report, an average of over 10,800 tonnes of municipal solid waste is sent to landfills each day – enough to fill four Olympic-sized swimming pools. Although the volume of waste has shown a downward trend for three consecutive years since 2021, solid waste remains the primary environmental challenge facing the city. To ensure its waste management strategy addresses the problem at its root, the HKSAR Government has implemented various environmental measures in recent years, articulating its vision of “Waste Reduction • Resources Circulation • Zero Landfill” in the Waste Blueprint for Hong Kong 2035. Achieving this goal requires a multi-faceted approach, but crucially, the Government must focus on converting solid waste into resources to progressively reduce the reliance on landfills and establish a sustainable economic model. Waste: A Challenge and an Opportunity Land is an exceptionally precious resource in Hong Kong. The decomposition of waste in landfills generates large volumes of landfill gas, which can release toxins and leachate, and also produces methane, requiring lengthy periods for land remediation. Consequently, the HKSAR Government plans to phase out landfills by 2035 and is progressively constructing waste-to-energy facilities to manage the city's solid waste. For instance, the I·PARK1 incineration facility, expected to be completed this year, will be capable of processing approximately 3,000 tonnes of solid waste daily. With the anticipated completion of I·PARK2 by 2030, Hong Kong's daily processing capacity is set to reach 9,000 tonnes. However, this still falls short of the city's daily solid waste output of over 10,000 tonnes, highlighting the scale of the waste management challenge Hong Kong still faces. 隨經濟持續發展，香港每天製造大量垃圾，為環境 帶來沉重的負擔。根據環境保護署的《香港固體 廢物監察報告》，2023年香港每日平均有超過 1.08萬噸都市固體廢物運往堆填區，數量足以堆滿 四個奧運標準泳池。儘管垃圾量由2021年起連續 三年呈下降趨勢，但固體廢物仍是本港當前最主要 的環境污染挑戰。為確保香港的廢物處理策略能從 根本解決問題，特區政府近年積極實施多項環保措 施，更在《香港資源循環藍圖2035》中提出「全 民減廢、資源循環、零廢堆填」的願景。為實現目 標，政府不單止要採取多管齊下的策略，最重要的 是將固體廢物轉化為資源，逐步減少堆填區負荷， 建立具可持續性的經濟模式。 垃圾既是挑戰也是資源 香港的土地資源非常珍貴，堆填廢物在降解過程中 會產生大量堆填氣體，不僅可能釋放毒素和污水， 更會產生沼氣，導致土地需要長時間修復。因此， 特區政府計劃於2035年關閉堆填區，並陸逐興建 轉廢為能設施處理本地固體廢物。以焚化爐設施 為例，預計今年落成的 I·PARK1每日可處理約 3,000噸固體廢物，連同預計2030年落成的 I·PARK2，五年後香港每日處理量將達9,000噸。 然而，這仍未能完全滿足本港每日超過1萬噸的 固體廢物產量，顯示香港在廢物處理方面仍面臨 嚴峻挑戰。 JUDE CHOW 周治平 DR ALFRED NG 吳民卓博士 14 | 8-10/2025
廢物處理問題困擾香港多年，而一河之隔的內地大灣 區城市卻面臨「垃圾不足」的困境。焚燒垃圾不但 能有效減少固體廢物的體積和重量，更能在過程中 產生電力，實現轉廢為能。為配合國家的「十四五」 規劃，廣東省已規劃建設30座焚燒處理設施，當中17 座已建成投入運作。然而，焚化設施的快速增長導致 「產能過剩」問題，現時廣東省的垃圾焚燒處理能力 已達垃圾量的1.2倍，形成所謂的「垃圾荒」現象。 優勢互補 打造「無廢灣區」 推動香港與大灣區的廢物資源處理一體化，不僅是雙贏的 解決方案，還能共同打造「無廢灣區」。香港應積極與 鄰近的大灣區城市政府探討跨境合作處理廢物的可行性， 善用內地過剩的焚燒產能，協助將香港的固體廢物轉化為 能源，並建立全面的綠色環保合作鏈。此外，香港應盡早 與大灣區內地城市探討相關廢物的出入境法規、要求及 標準的制定等，推動粵港澳大灣區可回收物料的區域性 循環利用，共同發展循環經濟。 目前，粵港環保及應對氣候變化合作小組已成立「無廢 灣區」建設專題小組，探討兩地以區域性策略處理廢物 管理問題。業界樂見兩地政府正積極加強政策對接、技術 交流與專案協作，相信定能提升固體廢物協同處置能力。 除轉廢為能外，業界亦建議香港加大廢物回收政策與設施 的力度，鼓勵全民參與源頭減廢，包括增加回收配套、 裝設更多廚餘回收設施以及鼓勵本地回收企業與區內其 他有實力的企業作技術交流，增強本地回收產業的處理 能力，多管齊下應對本地社會環境污染挑戰，早日實現 「全民減廢、資源循環、零廢堆填」的目標。 While the issue of waste disposal has plagued Hong Kong for years, cities in the neighbouring Greater Bay Area (GBA) are, paradoxically, facing a shortage of waste. Incinerating rubbish not only reduces the volume and weight of solid waste but also generates electricity in the process, achieving waste-to-energy conversion. In line with the National 14th Five-Year Plan, Guangdong Province has planned the construction of 30 incineration facilities, 17 of which are already operational. However, this rapid expansion has led to overcapacity; Guangdong's waste incineration capacity now stands at 120% of its waste generation, creating a phenomenon described as a “waste shortage”. Complementary Strengths for a “Zero Waste Bay Area” Integrating waste resource management between Hong Kong and the GBA is not only a win-win solution but also an opportunity to collaboratively create a “Zero Waste Bay Area”. Hong Kong should actively engage with the Governments of neighbouring GBA cities to explore the feasibility of cross-border waste management. This would allow the effective use of surplus incineration capacity in the Mainland to help convert Hong Kong's solid waste into energy and establish a comprehensive green partnership. Furthermore, it is crucial for Hong Kong to begin discussions with Mainland GBA cities on formulating regulations, requirements, and standards for the import and export of waste. Such collaboration would promote the regional recycling of materials within the GBA and jointly foster a circular economy. Currently, the Hong Kong-Guangdong Joint Working Group on Environmental Protection and Combating Climate Change has established a Special Panel for Building a “Zero Waste Bay Area” to explore regional strategies for tackling waste management issues. The industry welcomes the proactive efforts of both Governments to strengthen policy alignment, technical exchanges, and project collaboration, believing these initiatives will significantly enhance the capacity for coordinated solid waste disposal. In addition to waste-to-energy initiatives, the industry also recommends that Hong Kong strengthens its waste recycling policies and facilities to encourage public participation in source reduction. This includes enhancing recycling infrastructure, installing more food waste collection points, and promoting technical exchanges between local recycling firms and other established enterprises in the region. Such measures would strengthen the processing capacity of the local recycling industry, providing a multi-pronged approach to tackle environmental pollution and ultimately achieve the goal of “Waste Reduction • Resources Circulation • Zero Landfill”. 8-10/2025 | 15
Harnessing the Innovation Advantage: Enhancing the Intellectual Property Trading Ecosystem 掌握創新優勢 完善知識產權貿易生態圈 LEADERSHIP VIEWS | 我觀我見 EXECUTIVE DEPUTY CHAIRMAN 常務副主席 DEPUTY CHAIRMAN 副主席 As the global innovation economy flourishes, the significance of intellectual property (IP) trading continues to grow. It is vital that Hong Kong proactively develops into a regional IP trading centre, a move that would bring substantial benefits to the local economy. Such a development is expected to stimulate demand for professional services in IP valuation, financing, and legal matters, thereby creating new employment opportunities and bolstering Hong Kong's standing as an international financial centre. Furthermore, establishing a regional IP trading centre would complement our status as an international I&T centre, fostering an environment conducive to attracting resources, talent, and enterprises. This influx would, in turn, facilitate the rapid growth of high-end manufacturing and the I&T sectors. According to the International Institute for Management Development’s World Competitiveness Yearbook 2025, Hong Kong ranks sixth globally for “intellectual property rights”, highlighting its inherent strengths in its legal framework, financial services, and professional talent. To capitalise on this momentum, Hong Kong must enhance its IP ecosystem with a focus on IP financing, dispute mediation, and the cultivation of professional expertise. Promoting IP Financing and Developing Intermediary Talent Intellectual property consists of intangible assets, including patents, trademarks, copyrights, industrial designs, plant varieties, and trade secrets. These assets are legally recognised and protected, empowering creators to derive economic value from their innovations. Industries such as chip design and production, new material research, renewable energy, biomedicine, and artificial intelligence hold a vast portfolio of IP assets and place a high premium on their valuation, as well as the associated accounting and financing methods. 隨著全球創新經濟蓬勃發展，知識產權貿易日益 重要，香港需積極發展成為區域知識產權貿易 中心，為本地經濟帶來多方面裨益：帶動知識產 權估值、融資、法律等專業服務需求，創造就業 機會；並鞏固香港國際金融中心地位。 此外，區域知識產權貿易中心與國際創科中心相輔 相成，推動知識產權貿易可以吸引更多創科資源、 人才及企業落戶香港，促進高端製造業與創新科技 產業快速成長。根據瑞士洛桑國際管理發展學院 《2025年全球競爭力報告》，香港知識產權於全 球排名第六，反映香港在法律制度、金融服務、專 業人才等方面具備優勢。要把握這一機遇，香港應 從知識產權融資、爭議調解及專業人才培訓等方面 著手，完善知識產權生態圈。 促進知識產權融資 培育中介服務人才 知識產權涵蓋專利、商標、版權、工業外觀設計、 植物品種、商業秘密等，屬無形資產並受法律承認 和保護，保障創作者可藉其創作及發明獲得經濟價 值。現時不同行業，包括芯片設計及生產、新物料 研發及生產、新能源研發、生物及醫藥科技及人工 智能等，都擁有多項的知識產權資產。這些企業都 非常重視知識產權的估值，入賬方式及知識產權的 融資渠道。 WALLACE WONG 王博文 JACKIE NG 吳慧君 16 | 8-10/2025
工總建議政府參考其他地區（如深圳南山區）的成功 經驗，推動專利及商標質押等融資模式，擴展知識產 權融資渠道，支持企業發展。此外，就知識產權入賬 方式而言，現時香港的會計制度有空間加強知識產權 入賬數值，工總建議政府未來可就此方面深入探討。 除了融資配套，完善的專業服務同樣重要。知識 產權創作者可透過轉讓（買賣）、授權許可、特許 經營、技術轉移、成立合資企業及企業分拆等形式 進行貿易以賺取回報。這需要大量知識產權專才 提供支援，包括估值及盡職審查人員、融資及保險 服務人員以及知識產權爭議調解員等。工總欣見 政府今年將專利專業人員納入「人才清單」，我們 希望政府繼續透過不同政策措施促進本地培訓及 吸引內地及海外人才來港，加速知識產權貿易生態 圈的發展。長遠而言，政府亦需為知識產權中介 服務人員設立監管制度，以確保服務質素。 建立調解機制 促進知識產權貿易 隨著知識產權貿易活動的發展，不同類型的知識產權爭議 亦會應運而生。然而，不少企業處理知識產權爭議時發現 處理相關案件的律師不多，且費用高昂，對於中小企而 言，解決知識產權爭議則更加困難。與法庭訴訟相比，仲 裁及調解不僅更具成本效益，還可確保案件內容及結果保 密。工總希望政府能繼續鼓勵業界使用相關仲裁及調解服 務。我們亦欣見特區政府全速推進國際調解院總部落戶香 港的籌備工作，相信這將有助業界以更靈活、更經濟、更 便捷和更高效的方式解決知識產權相關爭議。 展望未來，工總希望香港有關知識產權的法規能夠與時 並進，並與國際接軌。同時，工總建議政府可透過設立 小範圍先行先試計劃，加快相關政策研究及推進工作，從而 加快推動香港成為區域知識產權貿易中心的步伐。 To this end, FHKI recommends that the Government learns from successful models in regions like the Nanshan District in Shenzhen, promoting financing mechanisms such as patent and trademark pledges to expand IP financing avenues and provide essential support for business development. Furthermore, improvements in Hong Kong’s accounting practices are needed to better reflect the value of IP, and FHKI urges the Government to explore this issue in greater depth. Beyond financing, robust professional services are equally essential. IP creators can monetise their assets through various channels, including sales, licensing, franchising, technology transfer, joint ventures, and corporate spin-offs. This landscape necessitates a body of well-trained IP professionals, including valuation and due diligence experts, financing and insurance specialists, and dispute mediators. FHKI welcomes the Government’s inclusion of patent professionals in the Talent List this year and urges continued efforts to promote local training whilst attracting talent from the Mainland and overseas to accelerate the development of the IP trading ecosystem. In the long term, establishing a regulatory framework for IP intermediary service providers will be vital to ensure high standards of quality. Establishing Mediation Mechanisms to Facilitate IP Trading As IP trading activities expand, disputes will inevitably arise. Many companies find that qualified lawyers equipped to handle such cases are in short supply and that the associated costs can be prohibitive, particularly for SMEs. In contrast to litigation, arbitration and mediation offer a more cost-effective solution whilst maintaining the confidentiality of the dispute’s details and outcome. FHKI encourages the Government to further promote the use of arbitration and mediation services within the industry. We also commend the Government’s efforts to expedite the establishment of the International Organization for Mediation (IOMed) headquarters in Hong Kong. This initiative is expected to provide businesses with a more flexible, economical, and efficient means of resolving IP-related disputes. Looking ahead, FHKI advocates for the evolution of Hong Kong's IP regulations to ensure they remain aligned with international standards. We also propose that the Government implements small-scale pilot programmes to accelerate policy research and development, thereby hastening Hong Kong’s emergence as a regional IP trading centre. 8-10/2025 | 17
