Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) is a statutory body that has one simple goal – to transform Hong Kong into the regional hub for innovation and technology development.

A hub that will diversify and grow the city’s economy, expand employment opportunities across a multitude of industries, raise Hong Kong’s status as a global powerhouse to a new level, foster talent and interest in STEM as well as offer them highly-sought-after tech careers, and most importantly, help create a sustainable world and brighter future for the younger generation.

Since mid-2014 a group of close to 500 international-minded business and community leaders, opinion leaders, academics, entrepreneurs, bankers, fund managers, corporate executives, professionals and students have been working together to form and build Hong Kong-ASEAN Economic Cooperation Foundation (HKAECF) which is a pro bono, non-profit, non-political, private-sector and non-government organization (NGO) aimed at fostering, promoting and facilitating economic cooperation between Hong Kong and the 10 member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), and between the ASEAN region and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) with Hong Kong serving as a high value-adding and facilitating key international hub, bridge, connector, promotor and investor. HKAECF’s Honourary Legal Counsel (P.C. Woo & Co. law firm) is helping to prepare an application for charitable status for HKAECF which welcomes both individual and corporate members (and no membership fees are required) who are interested in business and investment opportunities and in building economic cooperation relations in the ASEAN region. Crowe Horwath serves as HKAECF’s Honourary Auditor. HKAECF was formally formed on May 21, 2015 in Hong Kong.

Promoting mutual understanding and deepening ties between Hong Kong and the ASEAN. The Hong Kong-ASEAN Foundation is a registered not-for-profit organization serving as a platform to promote mutual understanding between Hong Kong and the ASEAN, and to deepen cultural and economic ties between the two areas. We seek to promote public interest, mutual understanding, appreciation, and to support education, research and studies in ASEAN cultural heritage, histories, customs and cultural properties as well as foster greater awareness of collaboration opportunities for the benefits of Hong Kong and the ASEAN.
