HKEA 55th Anniversary: New Era for New Image

Having grown with the Hong Kong export trade for 55 years, The Hong Kong Exporters’ Association (HKEA) has been committed to promoting Hong Kong products through various services and channels. In celebration of its 55th Anniversary, HKEA is set to unveil a contemporary new look as well as a series of new and enhanced services to bring the best of interests to Hong Kong exporters.  
Heading forward with an energetic design 
In the past 10 years, the Hong Kong export trade has undergone tremendous transformation with the global economic development. At the dawn of this new era, HKEA is coming out with an enchanting and stimulating new image, which can better reflect its commitment to the export trade, and at the same time, better represent its dynamic spirit as it advances together with the export trade of Hong Kong. 
Chairman of the HKEA, Mr Tom Tang, JP, remarked that “the new logo, represented in a fire work shape, is both energetic and festive; it represents our determination to improve and forge ahead, it also reflects our confidence in the future of the city. By exercising brand building in this special occasion, we hope to encourage HKEA members and Hong Kong exporters to embrace the new era by employing design, creativity and brand building in their production and marketing.” 
Introducing new and strengthened services
To cope with the changing external trade, HKEA is dedicated towards continuous improvements. After launching the revamped website and the online product display services last year, a myriad of new and strengthened services are now being launched.
To help Hong Kong exporters explore more business opportunities, HKEA is intensifying its efforts to open up the mainland consumer market for Hong Kong exporters. Moreover, it will lead trade missions to key markets in Asia which hold good promise for Hong Kong exporters.  
As always, the HKEA remains committed to helping Hong Kong exporters succeed. In this area, it will further promote Hong Kong products and brands through its five core integrated offerings, namely exhibitions, export marketing activities, educational seminars, informative magazines and web site.
In addition to organizing a wide variety of trade seminars, workshops, symposiums to keep Hong Kong exporters abreast of the latest market development, HKEA will keep on strengthening members’ privileges by offering more member benefits. We will also proactively promote public interest by participating at various corporate social responsible programmes as well as supporting green initiatives to help HKEA members saving costs and protecting the environment.
Marking this special occasion, a cocktail celebration will be hosted on 29 April, 2010 and the new image will be unveiled. The Hong Kong Exporters’ Association would like to have your presence to witness our growth.
