HKETO presents Best Asia Pacific Business Award at 2026 ACCE Awards Gala

The Director of the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (Toronto) (HKETO), Mr Bill Wong, attended the 2026 Association of Chinese Canadian Entrepreneurs (ACCE) Awards Gala held in Toronto on March 28 and presented the Best Asia Pacific Business Award.

Speaking at the event, Mr Wong said that the Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong present enormous opportunities to Canadian businesses in Asia, and the new development brought about by technological transformation will only create more opportunities.

He highlighted Hong Kong’s unique institutional advantages under the “one country, two systems” framework, coupled with its strategic location as the gateway to the vast Chinese Mainland market, its steadfast commitment as the freest economy in the world, as well as the determination to embrace the latest technological trend to deepen the integration of AI across various industries.

He added, “Looking ahead, technology will be the primary catalyst for continued growth.  As the world economy is rapidly reshaped by artificial intelligence (AI), Hong Kong is actively integrating AI across every sector of our economy, positioning ourselves right at the centre of this transformation.  This enables a high-growth environment for technology companies and start-ups.”

He emphasised that Hong Kong provides Canadian businesses with an unparalleled platform to seek further growth, and encouraged Canadian entrepreneurs and investors to grasp the vast opportunities Hong Kong offers.

Mr Wong presented the 2026 Best Asia-Pacific Business Award at the Gala to Ms Ann Fu, the Chief Operating Officer of Frobisher International Enterprise, a company based in Vancouver engaging in seafood distribution business. Using Hong Kong as a platform, the company is planning to further expand its business in other Asia Pacific regions.

HKETO has been sponsoring the Best Asia Pacific Business Award since its inception in 2010. The award recognises those entrepreneurs who have made a business success by using Hong Kong as a platform for their business expansion to the Asia Pacific region.
