Organised by FHKI Group 31 (Design), the seminar “Creation as the Key, Business Opportunity as the Door – Unleashing the New Value of the IP Economy” was successfully held on 1 April 2026! The event attracted over 100 participants and was supported by Hon Ray Wong, Legislative Council Representative – Industrial (First), creating a lively and enthusiastic atmosphere.

We were honoured to have Ms Polly Yeung, screenwriter and producer of Hong Kong animation "Another World'', and Dr Jane Lee, President of Our Hong Kong Foundation, as guest speakers. Speakers and experts shared valuable insights around topics such as "Transforming Cultural Assets into Business Value" and "Cross-sector Licensing and IP Commercialisation."

Special thanks to all sharing speakers, including:
- Ms Grace Wong, Head of IP Facilitation Section, Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency, Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau
- Prof Raymond So, Director, Continuing and Professional Education Office of Vocational Training Council
- Mr Henry Wong, General Manager, Business Banking of CITIC

This event brought together representatives from government, business, industry, academia, and research institutions, showcasing the power of cross-sector collaboration and injecting new inspiration and opportunities into Hong Kong’s cultural and creative industries. Speakers and participants engaged in deep discussions on how to unleash the full potential of the IP economy through creation, licensing, and cross-industry partnerships, sharing the latest trends and success factors for turning “cultural assets” into “commercial value.”

FHKI has long been committed to bridging creativity and industry. In the face of the global surge in the IP economy, we will continue to play the role of “super connector”, staying true to our mission of “Global Connectivity.” By uniting the forces of design, culture, and business, we aim to drive the development of local original IP toward diversified licensing and cross-sector collaboration, working hand in hand with the industry to explore new business opportunities and release the boundless value of creativity!
