08 Sep 2025 CW Team

Jointly organised by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), the Summit is themed “Collaborate for Change • Shape a Shared Future”. It will feature over 90 high-level government officials and business leaders from across Belt and Road countries and regions.

“The B&RI has been put into practice, turning an idea into action and a vision into reality. The HKSAR Government will further enhance Hong Kong’s role in taking forward the B&RI, raising awareness across sectors and enabling them to capture new opportunities,” said Algernon Yau, Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development.

This year’s Summit introduces sessions on signature projects, market spotlights, sustainable development, and a dedicated exchange platform for young business leaders.

Nicholas Ho, Commissioner for Belt and Road, Commerce and Economic Development Bureau, noted Hong Kong’s role as a key functional platform: “This is only possible because of the ‘One Country, Two Systems’ principle and our status as a financial hub, our world-class universities and talent pool, professional services and advanced technology ecosystem. Hong Kong can be the ‘super-connector’ where Belt and Road projects find the right financing solutions, partners, service providers and talent.”

Shuangdeng Group, a leading energy storage company, is among businesses leveraging Hong Kong’s position. “We made the strategic decision to use Hong Kong as the platform for our global expansion. Following our participation in the Middle East visit led by the Chief Executive, we achieved a milestone by listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Hong Kong’s capital market is a powerful driver for companies like us,” said James Su, Senior Advisor, Shuangdeng Group.

The 10th edition of the Belt and Road Summit will be held on September 10-11 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, marking a decade of progress under the Belt and Road Initiative (B&RI) and opening new avenues for collaboration among governments and businesses.
