OVERVIEW

Established in 1987, the Hong Kong Business Association of the Midwest (HKBAM) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.  It is the networking forum of choice for business executives engaged in international trade with Hong Kong, the ASEAN region and the Midwestern states in the U.S. 

​

Our members are comprised of individual and corporate executives from various industry sectors including: import/export, manufacturing, finance and investment, professional services, real estate, engineering, logistics and technology. Membership provides the opportunity to meet other members and share their “Hong Kong story" as a tool for learning from experienced experts.   

 

HKBAM offers opportunities for our members to network, strengthen business contacts, and gain market information by organizing events such as receptions, luncheons and seminars. We invite distinguished business leaders and senior government officials to speak at our events, updating members on major topics related to trade with Hong Kong, ASEAN region, and the U.S.

 

We invite you to join the association, and explore the wealth of business connections and opportunities within your own city, Hong Kong and overseas markets.

 

HKBAM is a member of the National U.S. Hong Kong Business Association and the Federation of Hong Kong Business Associations Worldwide.
