Mission to Visit Several Cities and Companies from 9 to 21 June
HONG KONG, May 21, 2015 - (ACN Newswire) - An 23-member delegation consisting of some of Hong Kong's top technology-related companies and organizations will visit the United States from June 9-21 as part of the "Think Asia, Think Hong Kong" (TATHK) event on 10 June in Chicago, as organized by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC).
The mission will seek partnership and collaboration opportunities in Chicago, Los Angeles and San Diego as well as locations in Maryland and Wisconsin. Companies and institutes to be visited include the International Institute for Nanotenchnology, Argonne National Labs, Rockwell Automation, Johnson Controls, Harley-Davidson, National Institute Standards & Technology, National Institute for Health, University of California, San Diego, Stratasys and Qualcomm.
Visiting Hong Kong companies include power-tool maker TechTronics Industries (TTI), electronic manufacturers Coulomb Electronics Ltd., Suga International Holdings Ltd., and Fook Tin Group Holdings Limited, die-casting and plastic injection molding services provider Ka Shui International Holdings Ltd., and surface finishing companies Jing Mei Group, Chartermate International Limited and Pino Aliprandini (HK) Ltd.
"These Hong Kong companies are looking forward to forming new business partnerships with American technology providers," said mission leader Dr Roy Chung, Co-Founder of TTI.
"Partnering with a Hong Kong company can certainly open doors for U.S. companies throughout Asia, particularly on the Chinese mainland. American and Hong Kong companies have much to explore in terms of joint ventures, strategic alliances, contract manufacturing and tech transfer/commercialization," he said.
Participating Hong Kong organizations include the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, the Hong Kong Productivity Council, Nano and Advanced Materials Institute Ltd. (NAMI) and the Hong Kong R&D Centre for Logistics and Supply Chain Management Enabling Technologies (LSCM R&D Centre).
