Budget Speech

Shanghai Expo

104.      The World Expo to be held in Shanghai this May is a golden opportunity to showcase our creativity and to promote the revitalized Brand Hong Kong. Highlighting the theme of "Potential Unlimited", the Hong Kong Pavilion will display our advantages in connectivity and creativity. We will also take part in the Urban Best Practices Area Exhibition (UBPA), where we will demonstrate our achievements under the theme of "Smart Card, Smart City, Smart Life".

105.      During the Expo, we will join hands with local creative industries to showcase our creativity and distinctiveness. For example, Create Hong Kong will support the local design sector in holding a six-month exhibition in Shanghai. During this period, a number of exchange forums on the Hong Kong design industry will be held to introduce our design talent to the Mainland business community. We are building a virtual pavilion and exhibition to enable people to visit, on the Internet, the Hong Kong Pavilion and Hong Kong's UBPA exhibition.
