HONG KONG – Businesses in Hong Kong understand the importance of integrating digital technology into their day-to-day operations, yet 74 percent of them have no framework in place to invest in a sound digital strategy, according to the recently-concluded ‘Digital for Business Market Study’. Recognizing the need for change, HSBC Commercial Banking aims to connect businesses with insights, ideas, and inspiration with its new ‘Digital for Business’ series themed See Beyond, Grow Beyond.
HSBC Commercial Banking demonstrates its commitment to helping take business further in this new digital era, by being the first bank in Hong Kong to conduct its own comprehensive market research. Launched in September 2016, the ‘Digital for Business’ series features three key initiatives to empower businesses, and help customers see beyond and grow beyond their current potential: Digital Summit, Digital Exchange, and Digital Academy.
At the recently-concluded Digital Summit (26th September), which featured the first-ever industry partnership with Google, various industry leaders were invited to participate in a scintillating panel discussion about best practices in Tech. In addition, the event was livestreamed over Youtube and got more than 37,000 views.
Over the course of the next three months (October – December 2016), the ongoing Digital Exchange segment will highlight three HSBC customers, who have successfully leveraged on HSBC’s capabilities to radically disrupt the traditional nature of their businesses. In the first of the series, Alan Cheung, Managing Director, Grandion Industrial Ltd, is profiled regarding his astute application of digitalisation, to successfully transform his textile and garment production processes.

Sarah Trombetta, Chief Executive Officer, Grey Group Hong Kong said: “There is an urgency to foster a ‘Digital Forward’ culture within Commercial Banking, under the current landscape of digital savviness and receptivity among young professionals. That was why we created the ‘Digital for Business’ series for HSBC, to provide the latest market information and expert insights on seamless digitalisation.”
