According to Hong Kong's Labor and Welfare Bureau, the local innovation and technology ecosystem is creating a broad range of opportunities in manufacturing recruitment. In particular, the 'InnoPark' concept, which has resulted in three former industrial estates in Tai Po, Tseung Kwan O and Yuen Long being repositioned as tech-centric InnoParks, is supporting the government focus on re-industrialisation to boost economic growth. 'Innofacturing' will take place in InnoParks - an "infusion of innovation into existing industries through the use of advanced technologies, such as AI, robotics and data analytics." This will provide exciting opportunities for those with skill sets in areas such as R&D. The government has emphasised the importance of bringing traditional industry up to speed with technology - achieving Industry 4.0's smart production techniques. With this new focus it intends to diversify the economy away from reliance on sectors such as logistics and tourism and towards a more tech-driven manufacturing sector that can help to support greater economic growth in the region.

Although it was initially thought that reshoring would be one of the biggest impacts of the pandemic, the worldwide shift in production actually hasn't happened. We have not yet seen governments and companies worldwide moving manufacturing closer to home in response to supply chain challenges. Instead, measures that were put in place to contain the virus in Asia actually provided opportunities for manufacturing in the region to power ahead. There is now data to show this progress with intra-regional trade in Asian economies increasing by 31% in the first three quarters of last year. The data comes from the Asia Development Bank and shows that trade within Asia made up more than half of the region's total trade in 2020. Robust supply chains and resilient foreign direct investment have shown the strength of the region. Proving that there are limits to reshoring supply chains, even during pandemic times.

Renewable energy is a key focus for the energy industry globally and evolution is happening constantly. Now, a new partnership between Shift Clean Energy and Vitol will supply Vitol's bunker operations company - V-Bunkers - with hybrid bunker tankers. These are the first to be used in Singapore and will help to achieve an improvement in fuel efficiency - as well as a 10% reduction in emissions. The clean energy initiative will have many other advantages too, including reducing fuel and maintenance costs and improving reliability and responsiveness of power management. The partnership has been highlighted for its innovation and the way that it shows that there are opportunities for oil and gas companies to find ways to reduce GHGs right along the supply chain. The clean energy solution from Shift will help to decarbonise V-bunkers fleet operations and lead the way in sustainable solutions that meet commercial objectives too.

There have been many challenges for the construction sector over the past couple of years thanks to the pandemic. From problems surrounding labour shortages, rising costs as well as cash flow issues it has not been an easy time. However, the outlook for construction jobs - and for the sector in general - is upbeat with demand projected to be between $27Bn and $32Bn over the course of 2022. This is according to figures from the Building and Construction Authority. This increase in demand is going to be good news for a sector that has seen plenty of disruption since 2020. Around 2,200 construction companies ceased operations last year, a figure that is comparable to the number of companies that went out of business between 2018 and 2020. Support and relief measures have been put in place to help construction businesses tread a path to recovery - and to take advantage of the new spikes in demand that will help enterprises start to thrive once again.

The Hong Kong FinTech Buzz Index (FBI) is a quarterly index that represents a quantified sentiment of the local FinTech-related news articles in local Chinese news media. It is often used as a way to judge the outlook for fintech companies in the region and also where general sentiment sits in terms of the sector on a local level. After a previous decline in the Q4 2021 numbers, the most recent figures show that the Index is rebounding. All six of the indices used in the FBI have shown recent improvement and in particular, for Blockchain & Cryptocurrency, which experienced the largest rise. Insurtech and Payment & Digital Banking also saw notable upward shifts. The Index is the first resource of its kind in the region to provide timely information that allows tracking of the way that the financial technology sector is growing. It is proving to be an essential yardstick for following the progress of this key Hong Kong financial industry.

Captive insurance has been a key theme over the past year, as policy initiatives have emerged aimed at securing Hong Kong's place as a key hub for global trade. As identified in the Insurance Authority's annual report, these initiatives have focused on four areas of captive insurance: insurance-linked securities (ILS), marine and specialty risk insurance, and reinsurance. The report highlights how legislative amendments have worked to make Hong Kong an ideal captive domicile for risk management insurers. The report focuses on Hong Kong's position close to Mainland China, as well as the fact that it is already renowned as a global financial centre. This combination, it says, "make it an ideal captive domicile for Mainland Chinese enterprises with overseas projects." The report also highlights how the Hong Kong Specialty Risks Consortium has been established to help connect supply and demand in the specialty risks area, further reinforcing Hong Kong's prime position.

The Singapore-based financial technology platform Cake DeFi has launched a venture capital arm that is going to be pouring funds into start-ups in areas such as Web3 and gaming. The new arm already has an initial $100 million in funds and picked its first investment target - the start-up The Edge of Company. The objective of launching the new arm of the business is to raise the profile of blockchain and cryptocurrency and make these more accessible worldwide. Given that Cake DeFi is one of the most impressive fintech platforms in the region when it comes to growth this is clearly a huge opportunity for any of the start-ups that the business chooses to work with. Support is likely to be global, especially when it comes to international scaling. The new VC arm of Cake is especially keen to invest in start-ups that are focused on NFTs, blockchain and the metaverse.

It has been announced that Rede Partners has opened a new office in Hong Kong, appointing Charles Wan as the regional head for the business. The move signals a clear focus on the Asia Pacific region and the importance of Hong Kong as a gateway to this part of the world. Having a physical presence in Hong Kong will provide Rede with the opportunity to expand throughout the Asia Pacific region. Rede has established itself in a prominent position as a market-leading private markets advisory firm and the team has supported some of the industry's most dynamic GPs and LPs. This comes on the back of the firm celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2021 and seeing major growth, including appointing three new partners. Rede has also enjoyed considerable financial success, raising more than €20 billion of commitments for its primary fundraising clients across 13 funds holding final closes. The Hong Kong office looks like the start of an exciting new chapter for the firm.

Lockhead Martin is one of the largest defence contractors in the world, employing around 100,000 people globally. It has now been revealed that the contractor is exploring a space in the UK that could potentially generate more than 2,000 aerospace manufacturing jobs. Specifically, Lockhead is looking at the North East of England, where it would make a £50 million investment if the move does go ahead. The UK and Europe regional director of the business has outlined how it is focused on helping to nurture growth in the UK, in particular when it comes to establishing it as one of the "most prosperous and capable space sectors in the world." There are many reasons why Lockhead Martin is looking at the North East of England, and why it is such a good prospect for this kind of investment. These include the strong manufacturing heritage in this part of England, as well as the reputation for quality output and the skilled nature of the local workforce.

There are many different ways in which businesses have taken steps to help Ukrainians who have been forced out of their country. The supermarket Iceland has offered to fast track Ukrainian applicants for jobs with the chain and its logistics partner. The business also promised to provide support for applicants in terms of obtaining the right to work and finding somewhere to live on arrival in the UK. The offer of help was posted to Iceland's social media platforms and included a link to the recruitment page of the logistics partner GXO. The GXO recruitment page contains a range of roles in areas such as lorry driving and warehouse jobs. Management at the supermarket made it clear that this was in response to the war in Ukraine and what they see as the need to support everyone whose lives and jobs have been taken from them. At the moment, Iceland hasn't provided any more information on how the fast tracking is going to be achieved.
