Traditional businesses are looking to acquire&#13;<br \/>\nvirtual business capability, a trend being illustrated by the HK$1.88 billion&#13;<br \/>\ngiven out to over 32,000 companies via the D-Biz Program under the HKSAR&#13;<br \/>\nAnti-Epidemic Fund. The program positively put in motion the digital&#13;<br \/>\ntransformation momentum of SMEs in Hong Kong, and generated huge demands for&#13;<br \/>\nvirtual business technology and solutions. Many of the 1.4 million Hong Kong registered&#13;<br \/>\ncompanies are looking for technology solutions and services to support their&#13;<br \/>\nvirtual business development.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>Such enormous market demand is the&#13;<br \/>\ndriving force behind the realization of GOVirtual Business Expo &amp;&#13;<br \/>\nConference. A unique exhibition targeting both trade delegates and public&#13;<br \/>\nvisitors, GOVirtual Expo aims to promote and enable conventional businesses&#8217; digital&#13;<br \/>\nconversion, and provides an ideal platform for virtual business service and solution&#13;<br \/>\nproviders to connect with potential clients and partners. The Expo also aspires to assist entrepreneurs who are looking for technology&#13;<br \/>\nadvices and support to start their online virtual businesses <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Virtual business capability has&#13;<br \/>\nbecome a critical factor to the survival and success of all entities in the&#13;<br \/>\npost-pandemic economy. ECommerce in Hong Kong, for example, is forecasted to&#13;<br \/>\ngrow 18.6% and reaches US$7.5 billion in 2020, while online entertainment is&#13;<br \/>\nprojected to grow 11.4% to US$343 million. GOVirtual Expo will support enterprises&#13;<br \/>\nto unlock and capture the boundless potential of virtual business, and help&#13;<br \/>\nmake a positive impact to the economic recovery of Hong Kong.
