A new chapter begins at AustCham HK with Jason Chang stepping into the role of Chair. In the message below, he speaks directly to our community about the opportunities ahead for Australia-Hong Kong business.
“I am truly excited to lead the Australian Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong at a time when Australia and Hong Kong are both playing a key role in global financial markets, innovation, tech, education, resources and services. AustCham is the largest Australian chamber globally and Hong Kong is home to many of the world’s leading businesses. Hong Kong, as part of the Greater Bay Area, is a market of 87 million people. This is the fastest growing region in the world and next year, Shenzhen, 15 mins from Hong Kong by fast train, will host the 2026 APEC Forum. Together, we have an extraordinary opportunity to strengthen connections, drive growth, and shape the future of Australia-Hong Kong business.”
Jason is Co-Founder, CEO and Managing Director of
EMR Capital, a global private equity firm that focusses on energy transition, critical minerals and food security. Prior to EMR, Jason was partner of KMG in Australia where he was Head of the Asia Practice for Australian inbound and outbound investments, especially in metals and mining. Jason graduated with a combined Bachelor of Laws/Economics degree as well as a Masters of Law from Monash University, in Melbourne, where he lived for more than 30 years, prior to moving to Hong Kong in 2017.
Join us in welcoming Jason as Chair and let us know in the comments below what opportunities you’re most excited about for the AustCham HK community under his leadership.
