- formulate attractive bespoke measures and provide tailor-made plans to facilitate the operations of strategic enterprises in Hong Kong; and

OASES’ efforts will focus on four major industries which are of strategic importance to Hong Kong, namely life and health technology, artificial intelligence and data science, financial technology, and advanced manufacturing and new-energy technology. We provide bespoke offerings to attract strategic enterprises from around the globe. These tailor-made plans can cover aspects such as land, financing, tax and investment.

The Dedicated Team for Attracting Businesses and Talents in Bangkok is happy to support companies in Thailand. Meanwhile, Invest Hong Kong continues to provide one-stop service to assist all companies to set up or expand their businesses in Hong Kong.
