What are the opportunities and risks of investing or expanding business operation in Myanmar? What are the benefits and concerns for developing Special Economic Zone related businesses there? What unique roles could Hong Kong professional services play to facilitate mutual advancement? This Workshop aims to present a portrait of business opportunities and challenges in Myanmar from three perspectives: 1) the local, 2) the Belt and Road and 3) Hong Kong.
