– Spotlighting nearly 260 Brands and Opening the Way for Hong Kong SMEs to Thrive in Mainland E-commerce
The HKTDC returns with the second Hong Kong Shopping Festival in August, building on the initiatives in the 2024 Policy Address to help local SMEs expand into the Mainland China market through e-commerce channels
The Hong Kong Shopping Festival is the flagship event of the E-commerce Express, and has received an enthusiastic response, attracting nearly 260 brands presented by Hong Kong SMEs across seven major categories, providing them with practical opportunities to operate on key e-commerce platforms in the mainland
Fully supported by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government, Financial Secretary of the HKSAR Government Paul Chan filmed a promotional video for the Hong Kong Shopping Festival.
The second Hong Kong Shopping Festival, organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) will take place on Mainland e-commerce platforms from 1 to 31 August. Fully aligned with measures outlined in the 2024 Policy Address, the festival aims to support Hong Kong’s small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as they expand into the Mainland e-commerce market. As the flagship event of HKTDC’s E-commerce Express, the Hong Kong Shopping Festival has attracted nearly 260 brands across seven major categories, including health supplements, food and beverages, home and living, personal care and cosmetics, apparel and accessories, smart gadgets, and products for the silver market. The festival features over 500 unique products and offers month-long discount promotions. With the full support of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), a launch ceremony for the second Hong Kong Shopping Festival was held today. The Financial Secretary of the HKSAR Government Paul Chan also filmed a promotional video for the campaign (video link: https://bit.ly/4mkvpec).
Algernon Yau, Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development of the HKSAR Government said: “Building on the great success of the first edition of the Hong Kong Shopping Festival last year, this year’s event has attracted even more brands to participate. E-commerce is a major global trend in retail development. In 2024, the cross-border e-commerce market of the Mainland with vast potential reached over RMB17 trillion, presenting a golden opportunity for Hong Kong businesses to expand. In light of this, the government has been fully supporting industry upgrading and transformation through various measures to help enterprises establish online sales channels. The Hong Kong Shopping Festival serves as an ideal platform to showcase the city’s premium products to more Mainland consumers.”
Patrick Lau, Deputy Executive Director, HKTDC, said: “New consumer trends are emerging in the Mainland market, reshaping buying habits and creating tremendous opportunities for Hong Kong businesses. While Hong Kong SMEs offer high-quality products, they need to understand the local business environment and e-commerce practices to successfully enter this vast market. As the flagship event of HKTDC’s E-commerce Express, the second Hong Kong Shopping Festival will partner with major e-commerce and social media platforms for promotion and include a series of training sessions focused on the Mainland e-commerce market. This initiative aims to help businesses effectively tap into opportunities in Mainland e-commerce and connect with their target customers.”
In November 2024, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) released a research study on the development of cross-border e-commerce for Hong Kong traders. HKTDC Director of Research, Irina Fan, said over 60% of surveyed Hong Kong businesses view the Mainland Chinese market as the most promising e-commerce market in the coming one to two years. To help Hong Kong businesses gain insights into the Mainland e-commerce market, HKTDC Research interviewed 2,200 Mainland consumers from different regions about their online shopping behavior and characteristics. Ms Fan said: “Mainland China is the world’s largest e-commerce market and has a well-developed e-commerce industry. Hong Kong businesses must gain a deep understanding of Mainland consumers’ online shopping behaviors, their preferences for Hong Kong products, and the factors they consider when choosing e-commerce platforms. Only then can they formulate appropriate business strategies and effectively capture opportunities in the Mainland e-commerce retail market.” The latest research report: Hong Kong Businesses Navigating Mainland China E-commerce Retail Market – Consumer Survey Results will be released on 7 August 2025.
The Hong Kong Shopping Festival aims to help Hong Kong businesses take advantage of the large customer base and traffic on Mainland e-commerce platforms, boosting their brand and product visibility while providing practical opportunities. Last year’s inaugural edition was very successful, with total views on e-commerce platforms, social media, and the event’s official website exceeding 90 million. This year, the HKTDC has enhanced the programme, enabling businesses to better seize market opportunities and speed up their expansion into the Mainland market.
To enhance support for Hong Kong SMEs and local brands entering the Mainland e-commerce market, this year’s Hong Kong Shopping Festival has introduced thematic seminars and one-on-one consultancy services. From late 2024 to June 2025, HKTDC has successfully organised a series of training sessions led by marketing experts, who shared practical insights on topics such as cross-border e-commerce, logistics, payment tools, marketing skills, and live-stream production. Additionally, nearly 50 one-on-one consulting meetings were held, where Mainland marketing experts offered tailored e-commerce strategies to individual participating companies based on the unique characteristics of their products.
This year, Discount Month and live-streaming e-commerce will return with enhanced offering. Discount Month will take place from 1 to 31 August, with all Hong Kong businesses involved in the Hong Kong Shopping Festival offering discounts of up to 75%. This initiative not only helps businesses grow but also allows consumers to buy high-quality products from Hong Kong online. The official website of Hong Kong Shopping Festival will provide event details, live-streaming schedules and information about participating brands, products and discounts. In addition, HKTDC will promote the campaign through online and offline platforms, including Xiaohongshu, Douyin, Taobao, JD and others, to boost visits to the official website and, redirect them to the SMEs’ online stores.
HKTDC recently hosted the debut “Product Selection Showcase” which attracted over 40 popular KOLs and their teams from platforms like Taobao, JD.com, and Douyin to connect with participating brands offline in Hong Kong. They experienced the products firsthand, learned about the brand stories, shared highlights and live-stream previews. In early August, HKTDC’s invited Mainland key opinion leaders (KOLs), including Li Jiaqi, Lin Yilun and Hu Ke, will conduct 35 live-streaming sessions for more than 80 brands on major e-commerce platforms, in which nearly 20 live-streaming sessions will take place in Hong Kong for the first time, allowing Mainland consumers to fully experience shopping in Hong Kong. This arrangement will make live-streaming more appealing, enhance visibility for Hong Kong products and brands, and build consumer trust and interest, while providing a valuable live-streaming experience for participating businesses.
Mainland online marketing strategies are diverse and multifaceted. Beyond live-streaming, there are numerous ways to enhance brand exposure. Ryan Tse, President of the Hong Kong Health Food Association, Director of Vita Green Health Products Co., Ltd., Elijandy, Founder and Director of Cross International Ltd and Jones Ng, Founder of Chiwa Digital Media Capital Group Ltd. shared valuable insights in e-commerce marketing and promotion at the launch ceremony. Artist Samantha Ko Hoi Ling talked about her experiences in live-streaming and online shopping, further enhancing the effectiveness and exposure of the second Hong Kong Shopping Festival.

Strengthening Hong Kong’s role as a regional IP trading centre
The 35th HKTDCHong Kong Book Fair opened yesterday alongside the 8th HKTDCSports and Leisure Expo and the 5th HKTDCWorld of Snacks. The three events, which have attracted more than 770 exhibitors, are running until 22 July at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC).
To reinforce Hong Kong’s position as a regional intellectual property (IP) trading centre, the HKTDC is hosting a series of onsite sales and cultural activities during the fairs. Notably, today’s IP Roundtable and International Publishing Forum provide a platform for industry professionals from 12 countries and regions to explore market trends and exchange insights. Both events are sponsored by the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), attracting an audience of over 220 publishing professionals and enthusiasts and further strengthening Hong Kong’s role as a regional IP trading centre.
Organised by the HKTDC and co-organised by the Hong Kong Reprographic Rights Licensing Society (HKRRLS), the IP Roundtable ran under the theme “A Forward-Looking Copyright Framework – How to Balance Interests Between Innovation and IP Protection”, focusing on how different regions are developing forward-looking copyright frameworks in response to the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI). This year’s event introduced a new business matching session that facilitated over 70 meetings to promote copyright trading and generate commercial opportunities for participants. The event opened with welcome remarks from Jenny Koo, Assistant Executive Director of the HKTDC, followed by opening remarks from Dr Sharon Wong, Executive Director, HKRRLS, who also moderated the discussion session.
The panel discussion featured five distinguished speakers from the UAE, Belgium, Singapore, Japan and the United Kingdom, including Majd Hassan Al Shehhi, Director of The Emirates Reprographic Rights Management Association (ERRA); Sarah Tran, Head of Regional Policy and Public Affairs of the International Federation of Reproduction Rights Organisations (IFRRO); Andrew Fong, CEO of the Copyright Licensing and Administration Society of Singapore (CLASS); Toshimichi Ishijima, Secretary General of the Japan Academic Association for Copyright Clearance (JAC); and James Bennett, Head of Rightsholder Relations of The Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA).
Majd Hassan Al Shehhi, Director of ERRA, said: “The Hong Kong Book Fair brings together publishers from different places. Unlike other international book fairs that focus on B2B [business-to-business], the Hong Kong Book Fair serves as a B2C [business-to-consumer] platform. I am very happy to participate in the IP Roundtable as it provides an invaluable platform for industry professionals to gain insights into the publishing and IP sectors and explore new business opportunities.” She added that Hong Kong’s robust IP protection system and world-class professional services make the city well positioned to act as a regional IP trading centre, viewing it as a great example.
The HKTDC joined with the Hong Kong Publishing Federation Limited to organise the International Publishing Forum today, running under the theme “AI and Publishing”. The event opened with remarks by Anita Wan, Convenor of the Book Fair Committee of the Hong Kong Publishing Federation Limited. Featured speakers included Xin Guangwei, former Editor-in-Chief of People’s Publishing House; Qu Hongbin, Director and President of Guomai Culture Media Co., Ltd; and Wayne Press, Global Product Director of Oxford University Press. The Q&A session that followed, moderated by Chan Ka-yeung, Director of City University of Hong Kong Press, was lively and in-depth, exploring how the publishing industry can respond to the opportunities and challenges posed by AI.

Doubleview Gold Corp (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (WKN: LA1W038) (FSE: 1D4)(“Doubleview” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide a detailed update on its 100%-owned polymetallic Hat Deposit strategically located in northwestern British Columbia, Canada.
Polymetallic Hat Deposit — Momentum Builds for Resource Enhancement and Scandium Metallurgy
The Company is currently executing its most extensive field activities to date at the Hat Project. The 2025 drill campaign is well underway and seamlessly connecting to the successes of the previous seasons, significantly advancing our geological understanding and laying a robust foundation for an updated mineral resource estimate which will be part of the preliminary economic assessment.
In the Company’s ongoing 2025 exploration program, Doubleview has completed 4,500 meters of diamond drilling across 7 new holes, with an average depth of approximately 665 meters. This includes drill hole H096, which impressively reached a total depth of 922.5 meters. These efforts have successfully targeted intended zones within the deposit, providing invaluable information for resource modeling and estimation. The drill core photos at the end of this news release show a few select mineralization intercepts.
Looking ahead, the next phases of drilling will focus on evaluating the eastern edges and reaching into the deeper parts of the Hat deposit, with the objective of further expanding the known mineralization footprint and understanding the genesis of the deposit.
Scandium Recovery Studies — A Strategic Priority
Given the critical importance of scandium — a highly sought-after rare earth mineral in North America — Doubleview is placing special emphasis on its extraction and recovery from Hat deposit with the objective of developing an achievable process to produce an economical and marketable product.
Three accredited professional metallurgical facilities are independently conducting parallel testwork on the Hat Deposit’s samples. Diverse methodologies are employed during the bulk processing by each entity. While final results are anticipated, interim meetings and discussions have been extremely encouraging, suggesting significant recovery potential for scandium. These studies are integral to the mineral resource evaluation and will define the best marketable product.
Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA)
The Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the Hat Deposit is currently underway across several disciplines. This includes incorporating the updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) Version 2, which will integrate all drill hole results of the 2024 drill campaign. Many other aspects of the mineral deposit’s final modeling and evaluation are simultaneously progressing. Notably, scandium would potentially be added to the resource evaluation, which could further enhance the project’s economic outcome. The completed PEA will represent the conclusion of the due diligence process for several interested parties that may potentially join the Company in developing the Hat Deposit.
Environmental and Permitting Pathway Advances
In a forward-looking initiative, Doubleview commissioned environmental baseline studies to a leading engineering company. This work includes the design of an environmental permitting road map for the Hat Project. The goal is to ensure all data is collected within the guidelines of relevant future permitting processes. This early-stage information is vital for forthcoming advanced studies designed to help the project progress efficiently.
Archaeological Impact Assessment studies (AIA) have successfully been completed and accepted by the Archaeology Branch of British Columbia. The presented results of these studies are an important step in journey of the development of the Hat Project.
Executive Commentary:
Farshad Shirvani, M.Sc., Geology, President and CEO of Doubleview Gold Corp:
“Our commitment to advancing critical mineral projects is unwavering. The ongoing work at our Hat deposit, from aggressive drilling to pioneering scandium metallurgy, underscores our dedication to creating long-term value for all stakeholders. We are building a robust foundation for the future, strategically positioning Doubleview at the forefront of the polymetallic and critical minerals landscape in British Columbia.
The exciting developments at the Hat Project have garnered significant interest with globally leading investment entities, sovereign wealth funds, as well as top-tier mining companies who envision themselves as pillars of the future of critical metals, such as scandium, copper and cobalt. This led to promising high-level discussions with these interested parties. We find ourselves at a unique juncture, and I strongly believe we are diligently exploring all opportunities presented to us to maximize our shareholders’ success.”
