It was great to hear the many lively discussions on talent in the Greater Bay Area taking place during the second day of the inaugural Global Talent Summit • Hong Kong hosted by the Hong Kong SAR Government. The diverse skillsets of GBA talent can help drive growth opportunities for Hong Kong and for companies in the wider region.   The success of this event shows that the development of talent continues to be a priority in both Hong Kong and the GBA, and that there is a need not only to attract skilled professionals from overseas and mainland China, but also to ensure that local talent have the resources they need to build up key skills.   The HKIB will continue to work closely with the banking industry to keep abreast of training needs and create a deep and sustainable pool of talent. We look forward to further events that reinforce Hong Kong’s role as a global talent hub.    #GlobalTalentSummit #HongKongTalentEngage

This was an impressive showcase of connectivity that demonstrates the city’s advantages which makes it an attractive place to live and work. Fostering a conducive environment for diverse international #talent to flourish is crucial for industries in Hong Kong seeking to grasp emerging opportunities, and #collaboration between the public and private sector plays a key role in supporting this.
