Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office
The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region

As the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region's representative office in Korea, the main functions of the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (ETO) are to promote Hong Kong's economic and trade interests in Korea and generally to foster better understanding of Hong Kong in Korea. It works closely with other Hong Kong institutions such as the Hong Kong Trade Development Council and the Hong Kong Tourism Board, which also have offices in Korea.

The ETO provides a focal point of contact for Korean people and organisations interested in Hong Kong. Apart from organising promotional and cultural activities in Korea, the ETO also facilitates senior level visits of individuals and delegations between the two places.

The Dedicated Team for Attracting Businesses and Talents has been set up since December 2022 under the ETO to proactively reach out to target enterprises and talents and encourage them to pursue expansion and growth in Hong Kong with a view to injecting impetus to the economic development of Hong Kong. The Dedicated Team also liaises with the world’s top 100 universities and promotes related talent admission schemes so as to enrich Hong Kong’s talent pool.
