Invest Hong Kong (InvestHK), a member of the Task Force on Supporting Mainland Enterprises in Going Global (GoGlobal Task Force), will lead a seven-day delegation to Canada from September 20 to support Mainland enterprises in expanding their global business. The visit, announced on September 18, 2026, is part of outbound missions supervised by the Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development.
The delegation, led by Ms Loretta Lee, Associate Director-General of Investment Promotion at InvestHK, comprises Chinese Mainland companies in sustainability and life and health sciences. It will visit Vancouver, Calgary, and Edmonton to help these enterprises understand local ecosystems and align their global needs. The mission also aims to attract Canadian businesses in these strategic sectors to invest in Hong Kong, thereby driving new growth impetus.
Ms Lee emphasized Canada’s strengths: “Canada is globally recognised for its exceptional research talent, clean technology leadership, and established life sciences ecosystem. As more Mainland green technology and life and health sciences enterprises pursue international growth through Hong Kong, they bring not only capital and access to one of the world’s largest markets, but also serve as ideal partners for Canadian companies seeking to explore Asia and beyond. We are keen to build fresh synergies with Canadian businesses to strengthen innovation, collaboration, and investment flows.”
During the visit, the delegation will meet with local institutions, chambers of commerce, and industry associations. They will hold targeted discussions with leading Canadian green tech and healthcare enterprises, visit universities and research parks, and participate in sector-specific roundtables and business networking sessions. This engagement is designed to create concrete opportunities for collaboration and investment.
The initiative underscores Hong Kong’s role as a super-connector between Mainland China and global markets. By facilitating Mainland enterprises’ expansion and attracting Canadian investment, the mission supports Hong Kong’s economic diversification and reinforces its position as an international business hub.

As global competition for talent and capital intensifies, such missions are vital for fostering innovation and sustainable growth. The outcomes could lead to new partnerships, technology transfers, and job creation in both regions.
