Hong Kong

Asia

Hong Kong is a major international financial center and business hub with world-class infrastructure and a strategic gateway to mainland China and the broader APAC region. The city offers a highly educated, bilingual workforce, low tax rates, and a common law legal system. Its tech scene, while smaller than mainland China's, is strong in fintech, AI, and enterprise software.
