We offer information sharing and introduction support for cross-border trade between mainland and Hong Kong enterprises, across policy, capital, technology and talent.
About us
The GBA Exchange Promotion Association is a non-profit body registered in Hong Kong, concerned with trade and innovation exchange between the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area and overseas markets.
Our role is to facilitate exchange: to help mainland and Hong Kong enterprises understand each other's policy environment and business practice, and — where an enterprise needs it — to share information or refer them to an appropriate professional service provider.
To help mainland enterprises reach overseas markets through Hong Kong, and to help Hong Kong enterprises understand the mainland market.
We pursue this by organising exchange activities and sharing information, and expect to offer more concrete assistance to participating enterprises as our work accumulates.
Information and introductions
Each area below is information sharing and referral. Regulated professional services are provided by licensed professionals; the association does not give legal, financial or investment advice.
Compiling and explaining Greater Bay Area policy and regulation so enterprises understand the direction and the requirements that apply.
General information on cross-border financing and foreign exchange management, with referral to relevant professional providers where needed.
General information on cross-border legal matters, compliance review and intellectual property, with referral to licensed professionals where needed.
Information on routes to market in the mainland and overseas, with referral to relevant service providers where needed.
Information on incubation and support resources available to innovative projects, so enterprises understand the routes open to them.
Formats
These formats are arranged on an enquiry or project basis. Our activity record to date appears under Events below.
An occasion for an enterprise to present a project directly to interested organisations.
Exchange arranged around a specific sector or topic so enterprises with related needs can meet.
Briefing sessions on cross-border business, compliance management or new technology.
Outreach
The following are directions we plan to pursue, not existing relationships. The association has no announced partner organisation at present.
We plan to establish contact with chambers of commerce outside Hong Kong, to give participating enterprises a route into overseas markets.
We plan to establish contact with venture institutions, so that innovative projects can hear a view from the capital market.
We plan to compile publicly available industry and market material for participating enterprises to consult.
Events
Approach
We aim to bring people together openly, to respect the differences in institutions and business practice on both sides, and to build up our work sustainably rather than quickly.

Whether you are a mainland enterprise looking to reach overseas markets or a Hong Kong enterprise looking to understand the mainland market, you are welcome to contact us and see whether our information or an introduction would be useful to you.
