On September 18, 2025, the business and investment landscape across Hong Kong and Taiwan was abuzz with a flurry of activity, as companies and government agencies rolled out major announcements and events aimed at boosting transparency, attracting new talent, and strengthening ties with investors worldwide. The day was marked by two particularly notable developments: a high-profile recruitment drive by Hong Kong’s InvestHK for a Deputy General Manager (Technology, Innovation and Startups), and a series of online corporate briefing sessions by leading Taiwanese firms, including the company known as 慶生 (6210).
According to 港生活 and official government releases, InvestHK, Hong Kong’s flagship investment promotion agency, is seeking to fill the position of Deputy General Manager (Technology, Innovation and Startups), offering a starting monthly salary of HKD 51,545. The role, which is open for applications until 5:00 PM on September 30, 2025, is designed to play a pivotal part in shaping Hong Kong’s future as a global technology and innovation hub. The responsibilities are wide-ranging and ambitious: the successful candidate will lead business development initiatives within the technology, innovation, and startup sectors, organize diverse promotional activities, conduct in-depth market research, and craft compelling marketing materials. They will also be tasked with building and maintaining stakeholder databases, and working closely with both local and international enterprises to attract fresh investment into the city.
The job description, as detailed by 港生活, emphasizes the need for a candidate with at least three years of full-time, relevant experience in consulting, business development, government, public relations, or market promotion. A bachelor’s degree or equivalent—ideally in science, business management, marketing, or communications—is required. The agency is also seeking someone with strong language skills: proficiency in English, Cantonese, and Putonghua is a must, as is familiarity with Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Applicants must demonstrate their language abilities through recognized qualifications, such as a Level 5 or above in the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination for Chinese and English, a C grade or above in GCE A Level English Language, or an IELTS overall band score of 6.5 with no less than 6 in each component.
InvestHK is offering more than just a competitive salary. The position comes with a comprehensive benefits package, including a contract-completion gratuity, which, together with mandatory provident fund contributions, amounts to 15% of the basic salary earned during the contract period. Employees are also entitled to 14 days of paid annual leave per year (pro-rated for contracts shorter than 12 months), statutory holidays, rest days, maternity or paternity leave, and sickness benefits as stipulated by Hong Kong’s employment ordinance.
The recruitment process is rigorous. Applicants must submit a detailed cover letter explaining their suitability for the role, along with a comprehensive resume, to [email protected] before the deadline. Only those who meet the strict criteria will be invited for a panel interview within four weeks after the application period closes. Initially, contracts are set for three months, but may be extended—at the agency’s discretion and depending on performance—for up to a maximum of 24 months.
Meanwhile, across the Taiwan Strait, a parallel story of transparency and investor engagement was unfolding. On September 18, 2025, the company 慶生 (6210) held a highly anticipated online legal person briefing session at 14:00 Taiwan time, as reported by 中央社財經. The session, which had been announced two days earlier, was organized in compliance with Article 12, Clause XX of relevant financial regulations and was part of a broader trend of corporate openness sweeping through the region. During the session, company spokesperson Fan Yangyuan provided a comprehensive overview of 慶生’s business profile and operational status, addressing both current performance and future outlook.
While no additional matters were reported during the briefing, the company advised interested parties and investors that complete financial and business information could be accessed through the public information viewing platform or the legal person briefing session materials. This approach—offering easily accessible, detailed data—underscores a growing emphasis on transparency within Taiwan’s corporate sector.
慶生 was not alone in its outreach efforts. The same day saw a number of other Taiwanese firms, including 東華 (1418) and 新產 (2850), hold similar online legal person briefing sessions. These events, held in collaboration with major securities firms such as 統一證券 and 永豐金證券, provided investors with up-to-date insights into company operations, compliance, and financial health. For example, 東華’s session, held at the Taiwan Stock Exchange’s information center, focused on the company’s second-quarter financial report, while 新產’s online briefing highlighted its operational status for the same period. Each company made it clear that further financial details were available via the public information viewing platform, reinforcing a commitment to openness and regulatory compliance.
It’s worth noting that these legal person briefing sessions are not merely box-ticking exercises. They serve as vital touchpoints between listed companies and the investment community, offering an opportunity to address shareholder concerns, outline strategic direction, and build trust. The trend toward online sessions—accelerated by the pandemic and now firmly entrenched—has made these briefings more accessible than ever, allowing a broader range of stakeholders to participate regardless of location.
Beyond the headlines, these developments reflect a broader regional push toward innovation, accountability, and global competitiveness. Hong Kong’s InvestHK is doubling down on its reputation as a magnet for international tech talent and investment, while Taiwan’s leading companies are stepping up their efforts to keep investors informed and engaged. Both approaches are, in their own ways, responses to the rapidly evolving demands of the global economy, where agility, transparency, and the ability to attract and retain top talent are more crucial than ever.
For job seekers eyeing a career at the intersection of technology, innovation, and business development, InvestHK’s Deputy General Manager role offers a rare opportunity to help shape the future of one of Asia’s most dynamic economies. For investors and analysts, the steady drumbeat of corporate briefing sessions across Taiwan signals a maturing market where information is increasingly at one’s fingertips—and where companies are eager to demonstrate not just compliance, but genuine engagement with their stakeholders.
As the region continues to evolve, the events of September 18, 2025, stand as a testament to the growing importance of openness, talent, and strategic communication in shaping the business landscape of Greater China and beyond.
