ong Kong and Indonesia, as key players in Asia, exemplify internationalism and openness, leveraging their unique strengths—Indonesia as ASEAN's largest economy and Hong Kong as gateway to Chinese Mainland and global markets —to foster greater economic complementarity and synergy.
As Indonesia’s economy grows and its businesses look outward, many are seeking the right international platform to scale. This is where Hong Kong stands out — not just as a global financial and business hub, but as a strategic partner for ASEAN companies aiming to go global. The city offers international businesses and investors everything they need: access to capital, a business-friendly environment and a pool of talent and innovation.
Shinta Widjaja Kamdani, chairwoman of the Indonesian Employers Association (APINDO) and CEO of Sintesa Group, said: “Hong Kong is the ideal platform for Indonesian businesses to expand internationally. As part of the tech- and innovation-driven Greater Bay Area, Hong Kong offers unmatched connectivity, a business-friendly environment and a deep pool of talent.”
Take Singapore-based tech unicorn Carro, for example. The company opened its regional office in Hong Kong in 2024.
“Hong Kong has sophisticated high-tech infrastructure and professionals, with effective intellectual property and data protection enforcement. It is an ideal location for Carro to expand in the region,” said Carro cofounder and Group CEO Aaron Tan.
In fact, an independent external asset management company, PEAKHOUSE, from Indonesia has leveraged Hong Kong’s favorable financial policies to expand it Hong Kong operations.
“Hong Kong remains a top destination for financial businesses due to its tax efficiency, regulatory stability, and access to Asian wealth. PEAKHOUSE is positive with its growth rate and will continue to establish a presence here to capture the many benefits by leveraging Hong Kong’s financial ecosystem while serving the fast-growing Asian high-net-worth individual market,” the Group Chief Executive Officer at PEAKHOUSE, Mr Berry Wong said.
By opening or expanding operations and investing in Hong Kong, Indonesian companies can tap into world-class professional services, efficient capital markets and a supportive business environment.
Invest Hong Kong, (link to InvestHK website: www.investhk.gov.hk) the investment promotion agency of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, serves as the “GPS for businesses” to support foreign companies setting up in the city. With a dedicated office in Jakarta, Invest Hong Kong offers free and tailored services to help Indonesian companies set up and grow in Hong Kong while exploring opportunities in both the Chinese Mainland and global markets.
