To help these companies seize new opportunities and develop their e-commerce capabilities in the mainland, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) has launched the second edition of the Hong Kong Shopping Festival by rolling out expert-led seminars focusing specifically on the mainland e-commerce market. The seminars cover practical topics such as online shopping platform operation strategies and features, commonly used payment tools, the effective building of a fan base, collaboration plans with influencers, marketing skills and live-streaming production. One-on-one consultancy services are also being provided to help SMEs get the latest information and enhance their competitiveness, helping them tap into the rapidly changing mainland e-commerce market.Stephen Liang, Assistant Executive Director of the HKTDC, said that e-commerce continues to develop rapidly and is now a key driving force for global trade and economic growth. The HKTDC has been supporting government policies by promoting business digital transformation, encouraging local SMEs to embrace e-commerce and offering various activities to support them through the business transition that is required."In order to deepen Hong Kong businesses' understanding of mainland e-commerce platforms and gain practical experience, the HKTDC is holding the second edition of the Hong Kong Shopping Festival in August, which this year includes newly launched seminars with marketing experts providing practical knowledge relating to e-commerce in the mainland,” Mr Liang said. “This will give local SMEs a better understanding of e-commerce operations and help them formulate strategies appropriate to their products and brands, laying a solid foundation for entering the e-commerce sector. Additionally, one-on-one consultancy services will be offered, with mainland e-commerce or online marketing experts advising local SMEs on market development strategies that can help to promote their particular products or brands."Mr Liang added that trade relations between Hong Kong and the mainland are especially close, giving local SMEs a great advantage in terms of expanding into the mainland e-commerce market. "According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, national online retails sales for 2024 were RMB15.5 trillion, up 7.2% compared to 2023. The mainland leads the way in the world's online retail market, which underscores the huge business potential for Hong Kong’s SMEs."Many local companies struggle to create promotion plans for their quality brands and products that address the preferences of their target customers, largely because they have not fully understood how the mainland e-commerce market operates. Some SMEs also face operational challenges such as pricing strategies, inventory management and the terms of collaboration with influencers, preventing them from fully capturing the opportunities presented by e-commerce. The newly launched HKTDC seminars directly address the major difficulties faced by local SMEs in the e-commerce realm. Two seminars have already been held, one in December and one last week, in which experts shared insights on the mainland's e-commerce market profile and provided practical guidance in areas such as legal compliance, specific platform requirements and common pitfalls, receiving an enthusiastic response from participating companies.Details of upcoming seminars:DateTopicsContent27 February 2025Traditional e- commerce platformsHelp SMEs understand the features of traditional e-commerce platforms (Taobao/Tmall, JD.com, etc); examine how Hong Kong brands can choose the most suitable platform to drive sales and establish a strong market influenceApril 2025Social e-commerce market platformsExplore practical strategies for opening stores on social e-commerce platforms (such as Douyin, WeChat and Xiaohongshu) to expand into new customer groupsMay 2025Marketing on social media and private trafficGuide Hong Kong brands and products on utilising the popular social e-commerce platforms in the mainland, such as Douyin, WeChat and Xiaohongshu; look at how to build “organic communities” that emphasise natural dissemination; create highly popular “viral content” and convert social media interactions into actual salesJune 2025Influencer marketing and e-commerceExamine the opportunities and challenges in live-streaming e-commerce; introduce other online marketing strategies aside from live-streaming e-commerce; explore how to select the most suitable influencers to collaborate and leverage their fame in mainland to enhance brand awareness and drive salesSeminars already successfully held:18 December 2024Overview of the mainland e-commerce market, sharing on the inaugural Hong Kong Shopping Festival and introduction to the second editionUnderstand the unique e-commerce environment in the mainland; explore the shopping habits of mainland consumers and discuss the significance and impact on brands; share key learnings from the inaugural Hong Kong Shopping Festival and introduce the second edition16 January 2025Practical guide to e-commerceProvide practical guidance on legal compliance, specific platform requirements and common pitfalls; introduce some of the commonly used payment tools in the mainland; guide local SMEs on how to set up accounts for receiving payments; and highlight tax issues that need special attention in mainland e-commerce operationsSecond edition of the Hong Kong Shopping Festival returns in AugustThe HKTDC will organise the second Hong Kong Shopping Festival in August 2025, aiming to help SMEs seize e-commerce opportunities in the mainland. The festival is divided into four parts, including the newly added seminars and one-on-one consultancy services mentioned above and the return of the popular Discount Month and live-streaming e-commerce sessions from last year. Given the diversity of online marketing methods in the mainland, there are different ways for SMEs to increase brand exposure other than live-streaming sales. The second Hong Kong Shopping Festival will introduce customised marketing and channel services, such as incorporating more channels through “planting seeds” strategies. This will allow participating local SMEs to choose the most suitable services based on their product features, helping them gain a deeper understanding of marketing methods in the mainland e-commerce market.More details on the services being made available through the Hong Kong Shopping Festival will be announced by the HKTDC in due course.In addition, the HKTDC Digital Academy and Design Gallery’s (DG) cross-border e-commerce shops on Taobao and JD International have been offering comprehensive support to Hong Kong SMEs to leverage diverse e-commerce and digital marketing channels to explore mainland opportunities.

2025年1月16日，泰国春武里 —— 安美德集团（Amata Corporation），一家在泰国证券交易所上市的工业园区企业，今年庆祝创始人维克洛姆·克洛玛迪特（Vikrom Kromadit）先生的创业50周年，并庆祝集团在泰国和越南的业务成功。由于地缘政治不确定性，全球制造企业正在寻求在东南亚建立基地，而泰国和越南正吸引越来越多的投资。Aerial view on Amata City Chonburi, the company’s flagship project in ThailandMr. Vikrom Kromadit, Founder and Chairman of Amata Corporation Public Company Limited安美德的故事可以追溯到20世纪70年代中期。当时，年轻的维克洛姆先生刚从台湾国立大学毕业，开启了他在家乡泰国的创业旅程。经过在进出口贸易和商业咨询领域的尝试后，他进入了工业园区业务领域。如今，安美德在泰国和越南管理着多个全方位服务的工业园区，这些园区内共有超过1500家全球制造企业。安美德的客户包括许多2023年《财富》全球500强企业，例如巴斯夫（BASF）、宝马（BMW）、博世（Bosch）、普利司通（Bridgestone）、百时美施贵宝（Bristol-Myers Squibb）、Cardinal Health、海螺集团、Denso、富士康（Foxconn）、广汽集团（GAC）、出光兴产（Idemitsu）、麦格纳（Magna）、三菱化学和三菱电机、雀巢（Nestlé）、NTT、百事公司（PepsiCo）、浦项制铁（Posco）、索尼（Sony）、丰田通商（Toyota Tsusho）及丰田汽车等。该公司在泰国管理的五大工业园区（包括安美德春武里市工业园，这是公司规模最大的园区）以及其附属公司安美德越南（Amata VN）在越南各主要经济区管理的七个项目（包括工业园区和城镇项目）并非普通的工业园区。这些园区不仅提供充足的水资源和废水处理设施、稳定的电力供应（包括快速增长的太阳能等可再生能源），还配备学校和宜居的住宅区。“在安美德，我们的目标是通过精心的城市规划、先进的公用设施和专业的管理，打造最完善的可持续城市，确保经济和社会的稳定，”即将于今年3月年满72岁的维克洛姆先生表示。“我们精挑细选靠近深水港和机场的优质位置，因为这是工业园区成功的最重要因素。但我们还为园区增加了更多设施，将其打造成宜居的城市，为所有人提供便利和清洁的环境。”安美德集团自1989年以一块6公顷的小地块起步，目前在泰国、越南、老挝和缅甸管理的工业用地总面积已达到约150平方公里。此外，公司还储备了相当规模的土地，以备未来扩展之需。 位于老挝北部乌多姆赛省的项目紧邻中老铁路的那磨站，乘火车至欧洲仅需22天。这座新的智慧生态工业园将以农业产业为重点，利用当地丰富的农业资源进行加工。 “在我们运营的所有国家，安美德始终努力践行其名字的意义，‘安美德’在梵语中意为‘永恒’。我们希望确保我们为这些地区带来的繁荣能够在50年后依然存在，继续改善人们的生活，”维克洛姆先生表示。 集团的50周年庆典定于2025年1月17日举行。关于安美德集团有限公司 安美德集团有限公司（Amata Corporation PCL.）于1997年在泰国证券交易所（SET）上市，专注于泰国及其他国家的工业地产开发及相关业务。根据其2023年度报告，安美德集团通过直接或间接持股运营的子公司和关联公司共有45家，这些公司从事工业园区开发、城市建设、公用事业和服务，或作为控股公司运作。 安美德集团是安美德越南有限公司（Amata VN PCL.）的主要股东，该公司自2015年起也在泰国证券交易所公开上市。集团在越南的所有投资和业务均通过安美德越南开展。 欲了解更多信息，请访问：https://amata.com/如需更多信息，请联系： 安美德集团有限公司 企业传播部 communication@amata.com Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

After forays in import-export and business consulting, he entered the industrial estate business. Amata now manages full-service industrial parks in Thailand and Vietnam that are home to over 1,500 factory and commercial outlets.Amata’s clients include many Global Fortune 500 (2023) groups such as BASF, BMW, Bosch, Bridgestone, Brystol-Myers Squibb, Cardinal Health, Conch, Denso, Foxconn, GAC, Idemitsu, Magna, Mitsubishi Chemical and Mitsubishi Electric, Nestlé, PepsiCo, Posco, Sony, Toyota Tsusho, Toyota, etc.The five large industrial parks the company manages in Thailand—including Amata City Chonburi, the company single-largest estate—and the seven projects, including industrial parks and townships, that its affiliate Amata VN manages in all key economic zones of Vietnam, are no ordinary industrial estates.

But we also add facilities that go one well beyond that to make our parks liveable cities, ensuring a convenient and clean environment to all.”The total industrial land managed by Amata, which started in 1989 with a six-hectare pocket of land, now represents around 150 sq. km. across the region, including Thailand, Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar. The company has another equivalent amount of land in reserve, ready for future expansion.The development in Laos, in the country’s northern province of Udomxai, is located next to the Namor station of the Lao-China Railway line. This new smart and eco-industrial park focuses on renewable energy, agro-industries, as well as the automotive and electronics sectors.“In all countries where we operate, Amata’s focus is to live up to its name, which means ‘Eternity’ in Sanskrit. We want to make sure that the prosperity we are bringing to all these locations will still be there to make people’s lives better in another 50 years,” Mr Vikrom said.The group’s 50th anniversary celebration is scheduled 17th January 2025.About Amata Corporation PCL.Amata Corporation PCL., listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) in 1997, focuses on industrial real estate development and related business in Thailand and other countries.
