Vietnam has gradually opened its border. The resumption of international flights to Vietnam after nearly 2 years of suspension contributes to the acceleration of the inflow of foreign direct investment. Moreover, the success in fighting the virus, especially with the national vaccination campaign, together with several free trade agreements made Vietnam attractive for foreign investment. More and more foreign investors, especially manufacturers, are considering Vietnam as a new potential destination to shift their production to the country.

In light of this, the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong and Macao, in collaboration with Fidinam (Vietnam), is delighted to invite you to this webinar.

In this webinar, experts from Fidinam will cover the following:       ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Mr Francesco Portioli, ESG Partner Enhancement for Synesgy

According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), China has been the world’s second-largest economy by nominal GDP and the largest measured at purchasing power parity for almost one decade. Hong Kong, one of the core engine cities of the Greater Bay Area in China, continues to be valued as a global leading financial centre, transportation centre and trade centre for foreign direct investment. However, due to the uncertainties and travel restrictions in times of a global pandemic, businesses are hesitant to carry on their expansion plans in Mainland China and Hong Kong. To help enterprises rebuild confidence and move forward with their planned investment projects during this challenging time, Hawksford joins forces with the German Chamber of Commerce, Hong Kong, to host a hybrid seminar. The event will share a comprehensive guide to setting up an entity in Mainland China and Hong Kong without being physically present. In this hybrid seminar, Hawksford will introduce the steps of business incorporation in the absence of an investor and solution for meeting ongoing operational compliance requirements, including accounting, tax, HR and payroll management, to enable some of the world’s prominent foreign companies successfully enter the Chinese market.
