Language, regulations, taxes and an international orientation, are part of the attraction. As a Dutch government body that is looking to support them, we would say that the GIE looks like an appealing concept to give them a leg up.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> Panel discussions on Hong Kong&#8217;s unique position on the world stage as a multicultural anchor for the flow of capital in and out of Asia, echoed the notion.  <b>Johannes Hack, Chairman of European Chamber of Commerce<\/b>, said &#8220;One of the challenges when setting up a partnership is understanding the other side&#8217;s value drivers. Only when you truly match what each side expects can the joint business flourish. Hong Kong is an excellent place to establish common ground and HKSTP is a great partner to support finding a shared vision.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> <b>Terry Wong, CEO of HKSTP<\/b>, said &#8220;We introduced &#8216;Global Connect \u2013 Global Innovation Exchange&#8217; with heart full of confidence that it will bring convergence of all efforts under one platform, so that international networks, delegations, and I&amp;T communities are able to connect better with more seamless access to even broader resources.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> The Network represented not an event, but an enunciation of commitment to contribute in driving an influx of cross-border business matching and investment opportunities, further strengthening the city&#8217;s appeal as an international I&amp;T hub, and continuing the momentum of technological advancement in the GBA and beyond.Hashtag: #HKSTP<\/p>\n<p>The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h4>HKSTP<\/h4>\n<p>More information about HKSTP is available at  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hkstp.org\" class=\"social-media-link\" rel=\"sponsored\"><img loading=\"lazy\" style=\"margin-right: 7px;vertical-align: middle;width: 24px\" src=\"https:\/\/release.media-outreach.com\/Release\/templates\/images\/socialMedia\/generic_link.png\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" data-no-lazy=\"1\">www.hkstp.org<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.media-outreach.com\/image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAYAAAAfFcSJAAAADUlEQVR42mP8\/5+hHgAHggJ\/PchI7wAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==\" alt=\"site does not use correct feed url\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" style=\"width:1px;height:1px\"><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.media-outreach.com\/news\/hong-kong-sar\/2026\/04\/01\/458032\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Novel Network Set Out to Connect I&amp;T Ecosystems HONG KONG SAR &#8211; Media OutReach Newswire &#8211; 1 April 2026 &#8211; Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) celebrated the launch of &#8216;Global Connect \u2013 Global Innovation Exchange (GIE),&#8217; a platform that creates a pull for innovation and technology (I&amp;T) ecosystems from the World to &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[60],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56851"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=56851"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56851\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56851"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=56851"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=56851"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
