Waste management and energy efficiency are among the most pressing issues for Hong Kong: Local landfills are reaching maximum capacity, while the building sector is using up 90% of the city's energy. In these and other areas, specialised technology providers from Germany can bring highly relevant expertise and innovative solutions into the local market.

Companies with a physical office address in Hong Kong may be eligible for a VAT refund on certain expenses paid in Germany.
