Travelling in the Greater Bay Area (GBA): Practical Guide on Tools and Cross-Border Payments

The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) offers tremendous opportunities for businesses, including those located in Hong Kong. The total population is over 86 million, and the GDP in 2021 was USD 1.9 trillion, exceeding that of South Korea, Spain, and Australia. Developments such as the launch of connect schemes, the establishment of cooperation zones (e.g., Qianhai, Henqin, and Nansha), and the realisation of a sophisticated transport network further increase the attractiveness of the GBA.

However, in order to seize opportunities in the GBA, it is important to be well-prepared for crossing the border. What are the useful tools to access the GBA and how to arrange your e-payments in China? During this lunch session jointly organised by the Dutch and German Chambers of Commerce, you will receive practical advice and tools to prepare for your venture into the GBA. Our speakers:

• Winsome Chan, Head of Marketing and Customer Services at HKTDC, will provide an update on the GBA and introduce the GoGBA platform;
• Carol Lam, Alternate Chief Executive at Alipay Financial Services, will explain the use of the Alipay app for conducting e-payments in China.

Afterwards, there will be an opportunity to mingle and discuss with fellow entrepreneurs and professionals.

Are you ready to tap into the potential of the GBA and gain a first-mover advantage? Make sure you don't miss this event and order your tickets now!
