The Department of Accountancy at The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong (HSUHK) successfully hosted the ACY Symposium 2026, a landmark event that brought together academic and industry leaders to delve into “Hong Kong as the Strategic Hub for Mainland Enterprises’ Global Expansion: Innovation, Connectivity, and Collaboration.” The symposium, held at the HSUHK campus, attracted around 200 participants, including students and guests, and provided a critical platform for discussing the region’s evolving role in the global economy.
The event was distinguished by the presence of esteemed keynote speakers who shared invaluable insights. Professor Simon Ho, President of HSUHK, and Mr. Wilfred Yiu, former Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX), delivered powerful addresses on the new era of Mainland enterprises’ globalization and the emerging opportunities in cross-border cooperation. Their expertise set the stage for a series of dynamic and insightful panel discussions.
The symposium had a significant impact by focusing on actionable strategies for leveraging Hong Kong’s unique advantages. The discussions explored how robust corporate governance, transparent financial reporting, and the city’s world-class legal and financial ecosystem can be instrumental in supporting Mainland enterprises as they expand their operations globally. Attendees were left with a deeper understanding of the critical synergies between Hong Kong and Mainland China in fostering international growth and innovation.
This influential event was made possible by the dedicated efforts of the Department of Accountancy of the School of Business, under the auspices of The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong, and with the backing of 20 supporting organisations, including professional bodies, associations, and international CPA firms. The symposium underscores the university’s commitment to creating a bridge between academia and industry and to contributing to the strategic development of the region.
The ACY Symposium 2026 has successfully reinforced Hong Kong’s position as a vital connector and a strategic hub for global business, promising a future of enhanced collaboration and shared prosperity.
