Hong Kong Expands Talent Recruitment to Southeast Asia and Europe

Hong Kong is expanding its talent recruitment to Southeast Asia and Europe, aiming to diversify its labor pool beyond mainland China. The city has launched various talent schemes, and the Hong Kong Talent Engage office will support and promote these efforts. Secretary for Labour and Welfare Chris Sun remains optimistic despite geopolitical challenges, noting strong employment opportunities in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong is targeting Southeast Asia and Europe to diversify its labor pool, currently dominated by mainland Chinese talent, according to Secretary for Labour and Welfare Chris Sun.

The city has initiated multiple talent schemes to attract finance, trade, commerce, and tech professionals.

Non-mainlanders now account for 25% of talent admissions, while over 90% of Top Talent Pass applicants are from mainland China.

Established in October 2023, the Hong Kong Talent Engage office will enhance efforts to attract and support overseas professionals.

Successful applicants under the Top Talent Pass Scheme must renew their two-year visas, with half already employed, mainly in financial services, tech, and commerce.

Despite geopolitical challenges from the U.S., Sun remains optimistic about attracting talent due to strong opportunities in Hong Kong.
