Talent Engage Director visits Canada to attract talent for 'eight centers'

Hong Kong Talent Engage (HKTE) Director Anthony Lau Chun-hon visited Canada last week to engage with local talents and attract professionals to develop "eight centers."

The HKTE delegation led by Lau visited Toronto, Mississauga, Hamilton and Montreal to exchange with representatives from the University of Toronto, McMaster University and McGill University. 

Lau promoted Hong Kong's opportunities and various talent-attraction initiatives to students, alumni, and industry professionals.

The HKTE also hosted four exchange events, inviting representatives from the Law Society of Hong Kong, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, and two finance and engineering alumni from the University of Toronto to introduce the latest industry developments in Hong Kong.

The "eight centers" are an East-meets-West center for international cultural exchange, an international aviation hub, an international financial center, an international innovation and technology center, an international trade center, an international transportation center, a regional center for international legal and dispute resolution services as well as a regional intellectual property trading center.

Lau mentioned that the HKTE will continue to strengthen overseas promotion efforts and will visit key overseas regions this year to tie in with the city's future developments.
