HKTDC GreenBiz HK Campaign in Bangkok Strengthens Hong Kong-Thailand Green Economy Collaboration

The Hong Kong Trade Development Council organized the GreenBiz HK campaign in Bangkok, comprising a forum with thematic sessions, networking events, and business matching meetings alongside a Hong Kong Green Team delegation to foster collaboration between Hong Kong and Thailand in the green economy. The GreenBiz HK Forum attracted over 550 representatives from government and business across Thailand, with Bangkok Governor Dr Chadchart Sittipunt as Guest of Honour, promoting exchange in green finance, green technology, supply chain, and sustainable smart city development while showcasing Hong Kong's role as an international green finance and innovation hub.

Anna Cheung, Assistant Executive Director of the HKTDC, emphasized Hong Kong's ecosystem for green innovation and sustainable development, combining policy support with finance flows, R&D funding, innovation clusters, and scalable solutions. Dr Chadchart Sittipunt highlighted that the green transition requires strong partnerships and collective action, with the forum serving as a platform connecting Hong Kong's green strengths with Bangkok's sustainable development ambitions. In the "Hong Kong-Thailand Partnerships for Sustainability and Innovation" plenary session, figures from the Hong Kong Green Finance Association, HSBC, Bank of China (Hong Kong), ATAL Engineering Group, and the Asia Carbon Institute discussed Hong Kong's strengths as an international green finance hub and innovative financing tools accelerating corporate ESG transformation.

Mr Huang Weiwei, Chief Strategic Development Officer of CP China, Charoen Pokphand Group, presented Thailand's experience in renewable energy and environmental technologies, noting how Hong Kong's capital platforms and global connectivity can support Thai enterprises in advancing the Bio–Circular–Green economic model. Two concurrent breakout sessions deepened cooperation in sustainable technology and future city development, with speakers from the Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute, Henderson Land, Arup, and Otherland Limited discussing integrated design and technologies for citywide decarbonisation. Dr Krithpaka Boonfueng, Executive Director of Thailand's National Innovation Agency, shared Thailand's smart city progress and interest in leveraging Hong Kong's multi-disciplinary strengths.

Business matching through targeted project matching and technical sharing translated forum dialogue into concrete partnership opportunities, supporting progress in green technology, urban innovation, and energy transition. The GreenBiz HK campaign is part of the Economic and Trade Express platform to help Hong Kong SMEs explore overseas markets and attract investment. A Hong Kong Green Team delegation from 17 to 20 March explored green market opportunities in Thailand, with meetings involving the Thai Green Building Institute, The Eastern Economic Corridor Office of Thailand, WHA Industrial Development, and TPI Polene Public Company Limited to explore partnerships with local firms.

GreenBiz HK brings together Hong Kong's green service providers across finance, ESG advisory, building, property technology, and smart city solutions, encouraging businesses to leverage Hong Kong's capital market and professional services for green investment and development. The HKTDC will continue using this platform to organize business missions and conferences, supporting enterprises in Southeast Asia and the Chinese Mainland in leveraging Hong Kong's finance and innovation strengths to advance sustainable development regionally.
