Green Business Opportunities Abroad For Canadian Companies

By GreenCompany | April 29, 2009

In the midst of this deepening worldwide recession green businesses will need to broaden their business relationships and seek opportunities abroad. And there are opportunities for Canadian green businesses with a traditional trading partner – Hong Kong. Promoting Hong Kong’s drive for environmental protection in Ottawa this week is Mr Edward Yau.

Environmentally friendly companies in Canada can benefit from Mainland China’s announced $34 billion CAD economic revitalization stimulus package. This revitalization package is geared towards improving energy efficiency, ecological conservation and overall harmful emission reduction.


The Ottawa Centre for Research and Innovation along with the Hong Kong-Canada Business Association held a roundtable meeting to discuss these green business opportunities. Mr Edward Yau who is the Secretary for the Environment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, speaking about Hong Kong’s strategic gateway role said, “Hong Kong can thus act as the trans-Pacific link between Canada and the Mainland.”

Canadian businesses who specialize in solid waste and waste water treatment technologies have a tremendous opportunity to expand their operations. Hong Kong will be building $5 billion CAD worth of new environmental infrastructural facilities over the next few years. Looking to really improve the environmental condition of Hong Kong, the new planned facilities will include integrated waste management, a harbour area treatment, and new and improved organic waste treatment facilities.

Canadian companies looking for further information can directly contact the Hong Kong Economic & Trade Office at (416) 924-5544.
