The Better Hong Kong Foundation

The Foundation is a privately-funded, non-profit organization with no political affiliation. It was formed in 1995 by influential Hong Kong business and community leaders who were committed to the territory and wanted to share their confidence in its future with the corporate and political leadership overseas and was the local private organization to celebrate the return of Hong Kong to her Motherland.

The Foundation’s principal objective is to help build a better Hong Kong. We regularly work with local and international academic institutions and research institutes in conducting surveys and studies, and in organizing forums and conferences. Additionally, the Foundation organizes frequent high-level delegation visits to overseas countries to update the international community on the latest developments in Hong Kong affairs, and to encourage exchanges between leaders in Hong Kong, Mainland China and the West. The Foundation also receives overseas delegations and visiting journalists who are here to learn more about Mainland China and Hong Kong first hand.

Mission of the Delegation

The Foundation’s annual visit serves to update American opinion-leaders and interest groups on key developments in Hong Kong as well as sharing our observation on the developments in the Mainland China. The visit is also a networking mission allowing our Foundation to continue exchanges and further cooperation between Hong Kong and the U.S. This helps us consolidate our network, broaden our horizons, and break new ground. We will be meeting important leaders from government, Congress, academia, business, media, think-tanks, and related NGOs.
