TRANSPACIFIC ENTREPRENEURIAL conference
SPONSORSHIP PROPOSAL
dear potential sponsor, Thank you for your interest in the Second Annual Transpacific Entrepreneurial Joint CanChamHK-HKCBA Conference. In 2014 the Inaugural Transpacific Entrepreneurial Joint CanChamHK-HKCBA Conference was launched to bring together the members of The Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong (CanChamHK) and the Hong Kong Canada Business Association, to promote Hong Kong as a platform for growth-seeking Canadian companies, entrepreneurs and professionals. In 2014 the Inaugural Conference attracted over 100 delegates and 18 speakers from Hong Kong and Canada. Participants included representatives from Baker Tilly, AdvantageBC, KPMG, InvestHK, HKTDC, McMillan LLP, the International Trade and Investment Office Representing the Government of British Columbia in Hong Kong and the eight chapters of HKCBA across Canada. The Conference is hosted by the Entrepreneur and Small Business Committee of the CanChamHK with the generous support of sponsors who share our mission to ensure that the companies who choose Hong Kong as a launchpad for their business succeed. This support allows the Conference to fully serve the Canada-Hong Kong business community by continuing its ongoing role to connect businesses and opportunities. This happens in many ways. On November 30th of this year, one focus of the Conference will be sharing successes and challenges among Canadian companies and entrepreneurs establishing themselves in Hong Kong, the PRC and other parts of Asia. We look forward to our collaboration with your sponsorship. Yours sincerely, Anthony Behan Madeleine Behan Co-Chairs, Entrepreneur and Small Business Committee The Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong On Behalf of the Organizing Committee, the Second TransPacific Entrepreneurial Conference

ABOUT THE EVENT Hong Kong's reputation as a renowned international business and financial centre has provided a launching ground for entrepreneurs and a platform for overseas business expansion into China and Asia. Amongst those who have contributed to this success are Canadian entrepreneurs who have launched or expanded their business in Hong Kong. To continue building upon this entrepreneurial spirit to encourage Canadians to use Hong Kong as a platform to expand their business eastward, CanChamHK and the HKCBA bring back the Transpacific Entrepreneurial Conference on November 30, 2015. Highlights of the Conference - Five Discussion Panels: • • • • •

Target audience Entrepreneurs and different industries and companies of different sizes including the micro and small enterprises (MSEs), Canadian companies in Hong Kong: both large and small; both longstanding and start-up. The Conference will act as a bridge, introducing members to experts and professionals who can provide the business intelligence they seek. We also work closely with organizations such as the Canadian Consulate, Invest Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council in order to expand our network to generate more opportunities for our members. The Second Conference will continue to strengthen the transpacific ties between the Canadian Chamber and HKCBA. In particular, our missions are to help our members conduct business between Canada and Hong Kong and to encourage Canadian companies to utilize Hong Kong as their business “Smart Link” to China and the rest of the region. Together, we can make both Hong Kong and Canada stronger, more competitive and more connected to each other.
