Mainland Enterprises "GoGlobal" Task Force: Background, Development, and Professional Implementation

(May 2026)


 

I. Background: The "Value-Added Super-Connector" in National Strategy


As Mainland enterprises transition from domestic dominance to global expansion, Hong Kong’s role at the intersection of the "Dual Circulation" strategy has evolved from a traditional window to a high-capacity "Value-Added Super-Connector." To systematically support Mainland firms in leveraging Hong Kong's advantages for international growth, the Chief Executive proposed a dedicated mechanism in the 2025 Policy Address to coordinate territory-wide resources for enterprises "going global."


The Mainland Enterprises "GoGlobal" Task Force was officially established in October 2025. This high-level, cross-departmental platform led by the HKSAR Government serves as a proactive one-stop hub for recruitment and support. Within this policy framework, professional regulatory consultancies such as ComplianceOne play a pivotal role in translating policy into executable solutions, ensuring that enterprises enjoy policy dividends while aligning precisely with international regulatory standards.

 

 


II. High-Level Governance: Cross-Agency Synergy and Professional Leadership

 

The Task Force is overseen by the Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development (SCED), Mr. Algernon Yau, and is guided by a Steering Committee comprising the core pillars of Hong Kong’s financial, trade, and regulatory infrastructure:

  • Policy & Coordination: Permanent Secretaries from the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau (CEDB), Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau (CMAB), Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau (FSTB), and the Innovation, Technology and Industry Bureau (ITIB).

  • Execution & Promotion: Invest Hong Kong (acting as the Secretariat), the Trade Development Council (HKTDC), and the Productivity Council (HKPC).

  • Finance & Risk Management: The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), HKEX, and the Hong Kong Export Credit Insurance Corporation (ECIC).


While this "Whole-of-Government" approach ensures rapid access to administrative resources, the operational success of an enterprise hinges on technical execution. Specific nuances—such as the establishment of trust structures, company secretarial maintenance, and license applications—require professional service providers like ComplianceOne, a licensed Trust or Company Service Provider (TCSP), to bridge the gap between administrative frameworks and commercial reality.




III. Development Milestones: From Strategic Consensus to Precision Implementation

 

Since its inception, the Task Force has rapidly expanded its service network through high-profile engagements and strategic agreements:


  • November 2025:

    Shanghai Promotion Conference The Task Force hosted the "Hong Kong: The Preferred Platform for Mainland Enterprises to Go Global" conference, highlighting Hong Kong’s core functions in cross-border supply chain management and offshore trade.


  • December 2025:

    Launch of the Professional Services Platform Initiated by the Department of Justice (DOJ) with support from the CEDB, the "Hong Kong Professional Services Going Global Platform" was officially launched. In this context, ComplianceOne actively supports Mainland enterprises in establishing headquarters and expanding overseas through its one-stop compliance solutions, providing deep support in Anti-Money Laundering (AML) monitoring and corporate governance.


  • February 2026:

    Elevating Ministry-Level Cooperation The CEDB signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China regarding "Strengthening Exchange and Cooperation in the Field of Overseas Comprehensive Services." As a leading compliance expert, ComplianceOne is committed to upholding the spirit of this MOU by combining professional regulatory advisory with the Task Force's policy guidance to enhance the global adaptability of Mainland firms.


  • March 2026:

    Beijing Seminar & Digital Launch InvestHK and the China Council for International Investment Promotion co-organized their first large-scale event in Beijing. Simultaneously, the "GoGlobal" Dedicated Website was launched. With the surge in demand for high-quality professional services, ComplianceOne stands as a trusted partner, offering expert insights into SFC licensing, corporate structural optimization, and cross-border tax compliance.




IV. Vision: A "Safe Harbor" and "Booster" for Global Growth

 

The core value of the Task Force lies in "Precision Matching" and "End-to-End Support." Looking ahead, the HKSAR Government will continue to provide policy leadership, while ComplianceOne will continue to serve as a professional regulatory consultant, transforming complex compliance requirements into efficient operational pathways. Through this dual protection of "Government Platforms + Professional Institutions," we help Mainland enterprises transform Hong Kong into an irreplaceable global headquarters, achieving generational legacy and stable growth.
