Invest Hong Kong (InvestHK), a member of the Task Force on Supporting Mainland Enterprises in Going Global (GoGlobal Task Force), will lead a delegation of Mainland Chinese companies on a seven-day visit to Canada beginning September 20, 2026. The mission aims to support these enterprises in expanding their global business, with a particular focus on sustainability and life and health sciences.
Led by Ms Loretta Lee, Associate Director-General of Investment Promotion at InvestHK, the delegation will visit Vancouver, Calgary, and Edmonton. The visit is designed to help Mainland enterprises understand local ecosystems, align their go-global needs, and attract Canadian businesses in strategic sectors to invest in Hong Kong, thereby driving new growth impetus.
Ms Lee highlighted Canada's strengths: “Canada is globally recognised for its exceptional research talent, clean technology leadership, and established life sciences ecosystem. As more Mainland green technology and life and health sciences enterprises pursue international growth through Hong Kong, they bring not only capital and access to one of the world's largest markets, but also serve as ideal partners for Canadian companies seeking to explore Asia and beyond. We are keen to build fresh synergies with Canadian businesses to strengthen innovation, collaboration, and investment flows.”
During the visit, the delegation will meet with local institutions, chambers of commerce, and industry associations. They will also hold targeted discussions with leading Canadian green tech and healthcare enterprises, visit universities and research parks, and participate in sector-specific roundtables and business networking sessions.
This outbound mission, supervised by the Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, underscores Hong Kong's role as a super-connector between Mainland China and the world. For the health and life sciences industry, the visit could open new avenues for collaboration, research partnerships, and investment flows. Canadian healthcare and green tech companies may gain access to Asian markets through Hong Kong, while Mainland enterprises can leverage Canada's research talent and ecosystems to accelerate innovation.
The initiative also signals Hong Kong's commitment to fostering international business ties and reinforcing its position as a global hub for investment and innovation. As the delegation engages with Canadian stakeholders, the outcomes could shape future cross-border partnerships in health sciences and sustainability, potentially leading to new technologies, treatments, and sustainable solutions that benefit patients and the planet.
