Vice President, ITOCHU East Asia Bloc (South China)
Managing Director, ITOCHU Hong Kong Ltd.

Amidst the dynamically changing environment surrounding us , not only in Hong Kong and East Asia but also around the world, backed by our close relationship with China, ITOCHU HONG KONG LIMITED has been promoting business diversification and further development by utilizing the unique business environment in Hong Kong, which is the “one country, two systems” framework.

In addition, under China's "One Belt, One Road" initiative, Hong Kong is part of the Greater Bay Area, which has been actively implementing industrial policies as a science and technology innovation area with global influence. It is expected that world-renowned unicorn companies would be established one after another, and innovation in China would further develop.

In preparation for the reinvention of business, ITOCHU Corporation's basic strategies are "Realizing business transformation by shifting to a market-oriented perspective” and "Enhancing our contribution to and engagement with the SDGs through business activities". We, ITOCHU HONG KONG LIMITED, harnessing the partnership network we have built up over the years in Hong Kong, aim to actively expand earnings and develop businesses by pursuing investment opportunities and business alliances in accordance with the above policies.

Our business environment is foreseen to change drastically in the future, but we take these changes as business chances, and we will constantly disseminate information as a bridge to the Chinese market to develop businesses that meet the needs from a front-line perspective.
