I wish to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to the immediate past Chairman Dr Daniel Yip. Social unrest and the COVID-19 outbreak over the past two years have brought unprecedented challenges for all sectors in Hong Kong. Under Dr Yip’s leadership, FHKI has demonstrated resilience and advocated for policy support to SME manufacturers in adversity. We established online channels to maintain close contact with members and support them in seeking opportunities under the new normal. In my two-year chairmanship, I will spare no effort with the leadership and General Committee to pilot the way forward for fellow industrialists and reinvent Hong Kong industries. In the blink of an eye, I have been walking together with the Hong Kong industries for more than three decades. Since the northward movement in the 1980s, to the OBM development, technological advancement and expansion to Southeast Asia in more recent years, Hong Kong industrialists have shown to be adaptable, responsive and resilient to overcome difficulties and take advantage of new opportunities. Despite the pandemic, golden opportunities arise for Hong Kong's industries to propel forward along with the full support from the Government, industry, academic and research sectors on promoting the development of innovation and technology as well as re-industrialisation.
