Returning to Italy for the first time since 2014, the TBTHK event attracted over 1,000 participants. The TBTHK symposium was held at Palazzo Mezzanotte &ndash; home of the Italian Stock Exchange &ndash; and attended by some 760 participants, reaffirming the strong and growing relationship between Hong Kong and Italy. Over 240 leaders of the Italian, European and Hong Kong business communities joined the Hong Kong Dinner. TBTHK Milan gathered over 90 delegates from Hong Kong, including government officials, business and creative industry leaders, financial and professional services providers, investors and start-up entrepreneurs, as well as executives from Chinese Mainland companies based in Hong Kong for a day of dialogue, networking and partnership building with Italian companies keen to expand into Asia.

Sustainability, wellness and fintech in focus: Asian Financial Forum 2026

The HKTDC has long positioned the Asian Financial Forum as a vital platform for facilitating international investment and driving substantive cooperation, proactively connecting enterprises with potential partners and providing business‑matching opportunities.
At this year&rsquo;s AFF, Hong Kong food‑tech company Techvalue International and Australia&rsquo;s Gryph Holdings signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish a joint venture that will launch innovative plant‑based products that can be prepared instantly with either cold or hot water. The collaboration was facilitated by the HKTDC Sydney Office, building on business connections the two parties developed through previous editions of AFF. The joint venture will first introduce its products in Papua New Guinea before gradually expanding into the Australian and New Zealand markets.
E-Fund (HK), one of China&rsquo;s largest comprehensive fund managers, also signed a MoU with Qatar Insurance Company (QIC) during this year&rsquo;s AFF for their cross-border investment and promotion between both parties, highlighting Hong Kong&rsquo;s advantages as a connector of opportunities in the Chinese Mainland and the Middle East region.
