HKPC “ForeSight 2025” Explores Economic Future and Champions Sustainable Development in Hong Kong
Experts explore new economic opportunities presented by New Productive Forces, with a focus on comprehensive support for businesses
Hon Sunny TAN, Chairman of HKPC, emphasised the crucial role of New Productive Forces in shaping Hong Kong’s economic future. He stated that the HKSAR Government is actively aligning with national development strategies, leveraging Hong Kong’s strengths in fundamental research and its international standing to accelerate the development of New Productive Forces. This focus aims to foster emerging industries and transform traditional sectors. HKPC has launched the “New Productive Forces Service Platform,” designed to empower businesses, particularly SMEs, to capitalise on emerging opportunities, enhance competitiveness, and contribute to high-quality development.
Hon Sunny TAN added that the Forum featured a keynote speech by Professor Justin Yi-fu LIN, former Chief Economist of the World Bank, who has analysed Hong Kong’s distinct industrial advantages and development prospects from the perspective of “New Structural Economics,” exploring strategic pathways for Hong Kong to enhance New Productive Forces within the current global context. Furthermore, the Forum convened influential industry leaders to examine how Hong Kong can strategically deploy innovation and technology (I&T) to maximise its unique advantages in new industrialisation, facilitating SMEs’s global expansion, and strengthening intellectual property protection. Through this Forum, HKPC aims to equip businesses with the insights and tools necessary to seize innovative opportunities and contribute to a more prosperous Hong Kong.
Professor Justin Yifu LIN, Dean of the Institute of New Structural Economics at Peking University, offered insights into Hong Kong’s unique advantages in developing new productive forces from the perspective of “New Structural Economics”. As the first scholar from a developing country to serve as the World Bank’s Chief Economist, Professor LIN noted that new productive forces stem from technological revolutions and industrial transformations, characterised by “high-end technology, high quality, and high efficiency.” To cultivate these forces, it is essential to foster emerging industries such as new energy, advanced materials, artificial intelligence (AI), electronic information, and biomedicine. Additionally, developing future industries like quantum computing and controlled nuclear fusion is crucial. This process also requires the effective integration of digitalisation, intelligent automation, and green technologies to enhance and upgrade traditional industries.
Professor LIN further emphasised that Hong Kong should adopt a pragmatic “build before breaking and adapt to local conditions” development strategy for fostering new productive forces. Leveraging its world-class educational resources, rich talent pool, and strong connections to the extensive manufacturing ecosystem in Mainland China, Hong Kong is uniquely positioned to commercialize research and development outcomes and upgrade traditional industries. Hong Kong boasts a well-established innovation ecosystem that serves as a vital bridge between Mainland and global markets. This strategic advantage will enable Hong Kong to achieve significant breakthroughs in areas such as smart manufacturing and green finance, effectively capitalising on the opportunities presented by the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
ForeSight Leaders Panel Focuses on Innovative Development
The “ForeSight Leaders Panel”, moderated by media veteran Professor Vincent WONG Wing, focused on the pivotal question: “How New Productive Forces Can Propel Hong Kong’s Economy to New Heights.” Professor Simon WONG, Vice President of the Chinese Manufacturers’ Association of Hong Kong (CMA), highlighted the CMA’s initiatives to promote sustainable development among local businesses, encouraging SMEs to embrace digital transformation, and implement ESG principles to enhance competitiveness and foster sustainable economic growth. Mr Jude CHOW, Deputy Chairman of the Federation of Hong Kong Industries (FHKI), shared the FHKI’s successful collaboration with HKPC on environmentally friendly technology innovation projects. He reaffirmed FHKI’s commitment to facilitating industry collaboration through networking events, enabling Hong Kong businesses to capitalise on opportunities from the Belt and Road Initiative and the green economy for high-quality development. Dr Kang QU, Managing Director of Sustainability Strategy, Deputy General Manager of the Economics & Strategic Planning Department and Deputy Head of the Hong Kong Financial Research Institute at Bank of China (Hong Kong), underscored the crucial role of green finance in driving new productive forces. He pointed out the strong global demand for green investments and Hong Kong’s potential to attract substantial green capital by leveraging opportunities in Belt and Road Initiatives, with its robust financial system and leading green bond market.
HKPC Walks Hand-in-Hand with Industries
In this evolving landscape, HKPC will continue to work hand in hand with the industry, collaborate with various sectors including the Government, industry, academia, research, and investment to accelerate the transformation of research achievements and the implementation of advanced manufacturing technologies. HKPC is committed to contributing to Hong Kong’s development as an international I&T hub, promoting New Productive Forces and new industrialisation.

A Multi-Sector Coalition at Unprecedented Scale
Led and orchestrated by BDMS Wellness Clinic, this alliance represents one of the most holistic cross-industry coalitions in Thailand’s health and tourism landscape. As the central integrator, BDMS Wellness Clinic unites public agencies, aviation leaders, hospitality icons, financial institutions, and global biotechnology innovators into a single, strategically aligned Wellness Ecosystem.

The luxury and lifestyle dimension features Sri panwa Phuket, CELES SAMUI, Mövenpick BDMS Wellness Resort Bangkok, Dusit Thani Bangkok, King Power Corporation, Siam Piwat Co., Ltd., and Lancôme by L’Oréal Thailand.
Healthcare infrastructure and precision diagnostics are reinforced by National Healthcare Systems (N Health), enabling advanced laboratory networks, cross-border clinical data integration, and continuity of care.

BDMS Wellness Clinic has evolved beyond the traditional role of a healthcare provider to become the strategic integrator of Thailand’s Wellness Ecosystem—serving as the “National Orchestrator” uniting public institutions, private enterprises, academia, and global partners under one coordinated vision. Its mission extends far beyond treatment: to optimize healthspan, precise longevity science, and build a sustainable ecosystem where wellness becomes both a national economic engine and a form of diplomatic soft power. By synchronizing infrastructure, policy, aviation, hospitality, finance, and biotechnology, BDMS Wellness Clinic is repositioning Thailand from a destination known primarily for leisure and elective care into a global epicenter of evidence-based preventive medicine and measurable health optimization.

Beyond academia, BDMS Wellness Clinic is empowering entrepreneurs and industry operators nationwide, equipping hospitality, spa, and lifestyle businesses with measurable wellness standards—elevating Thailand’s entire value chain to international levels of excellence.
From Thailand to the World: BDMS Wellness Clinic’s Global Wellness Network
Extending its ecosystem beyond national borders, BDMS Wellness Clinic has forged strategic alliances with Neem Hospital—a leading private healthcare institution in the Sultanate of Oman known for its integrated clinical services and patient-centered care—and the MODAWI Platform, a digital health coordination platform that streamlines medical referrals, clinical data exchange, and cross-border care navigation.
Together, these partnerships establish a seamless referral and clinical integration network linking the GCC region with BDMS Wellness Clinic services. By combining hospital-based clinical excellence with digital health infrastructure, the model ensures continuity of care across borders—enabling patients to transition smoothly from initial consultation in the Middle East to advanced diagnostics, genomics, and longevity programs.
