International Infrastructure Forum 

The Forum is aimed to be a grouping of relevant and interested Chamber members, relatively informal in both nature and operation. It will provide members interested in outbound infrastructure with a network and point of institutional focus within the Chamber; a forum for sharing information and market intelligence; opportunities for collaboration with local and international organisations so as to help ensure that Chamber members are best placed to contribute to, and benefit from the wider Hong Kong, and UK/China international infrastructure strategies, including through collaboration with the China Britain Business Council. The Forum will also provide a channel for industry voices on issues in international infrastructure with government and business bodies.
