InvestHK opens second office in Türkiye

This aligns with plans outlined in the 2024-25 budget.

Invest Hong Kong (InvestHK) has opened a new consultant office in Izmir, the third largest city in Türkiye, underscoring its commitment to leveraging its strategic location to access emerging markets in the region.

Alpha Lau, director-general of investment promotion at InvestHK, said Türkiye is part of the Belt and Road initiative and is one of Hong Kong's target markets with growing economic potential. It has been recognised as a hub for global trade, logistics, and manufacturing.

The new office reflects InvestHK's dedication to promoting Hong Kong as a gateway for Turkish corporations seeking to expand in Asia Pacific. It complements the existing Istanbul office to attract more Turkish companies to establish operations in Hong Kong, further strengthening bilateral business and economic ties, Lau said.

“With the huge economic potential in Türkiye, especially the highly developed sectors in Izmir, such as renewable energy, software and IT services, maritime and biotechnology, we will step up our efforts to bring in more corporates and investment to Hong Kong,” noted Nese Secer, principal consultant of InvestHK’s Istanbul office.

InvestHK has tapped Cagkan Aydogdu as its Izmir office’s consultant.

This initiative aligns with plans outlined in Hong Kong’s 2024–25 budget to deepen economic and trade connections with the Middle East.
