The Department's Investment Promotion Home Page disseminates information on the Industry Department's investment promotion programme.

The programme is organised by a network of seven industrial promotion units (IPU) attached to Hong Kong Government's Economic and Trade Offices in Tokyo, New York, San Francisco, London, Brussels, Toronto and Sydney and by the "One Stop Unit" of the Department.

"The objective of the investment promotion programme is to encourage technology or knowledge transfer to promote quality and productivity of local manufacturing and services sectors," a spokesman for the Industry Department said today (Tuesday).

"Hong Kong is already well-established as one of the principal services centres and a manufacturing control centre. It has well proven capabilities for high value- added and technology or knowledge-based undertakings in both services and manufacturing industries.

"The Internet World Wide Web is an obvious choice for putting across our message, since our target audience is both local and overseas," he added.

Users of the Internet will have access to the locations and the services provided by the IPUs and the One Stop Unit, as well as the Department's quarterly newsletter which highlights Hong Kong's technological capabilities in the manufacturing sector and the service industries.
