GermanHub™
Doing business in Hong Kong is relatively simple. Finding the right office setup, however, can be a lot more complicated. The GermanHub™ supports your market entry and expansion plans with flexible “office-in-office” solutions and co-working spaces at the heart of the German business community in Hong Kong.
From Office-in-Office to Co-Working to Representation – the GermanHub™ offers flexible solutions to support your business needs in Hong Kong and South China. Our modern and spacious premises are conveniently located on the waterfront of Causeway Bay, one of the most vibrant commercial districts of Hong Kong. You will not only work right at the heart of where people and businesses connect and create success, but also have direct access to our broad professional network of senior executives and decision-makers in the German business community and beyond.
Our Services
Office-in-Office Solutions
For foreign companies, market entry is always associated with high costs. German companies often find themselves confronted with various challenges: lack of market insights and local contacts, cultural differences, language barriers, as well as a lack of talent and financial resources. With decades of experience, we support German companies and organisations in entering the Hong Kong market as well as in opening up their own business representation through our Office-in-Office service.
Within the framework of this service, a dedicated project manager, selected by you, will represent your business in Hong Kong and help implement your company’s expansion plans in the Hong Kong market. This service provides considerable cost advantages compared to registering your own legal structure in Hong Kong: You don’t need to worry about hiring staff, renting office premises, or employing your own accounting department. Each of your business projects will be individually managed by a person in charge. The total project costs are clearly and transparently defined in advance in a detailed service contract.
Co-Working Spaces
Looking for a vibrant and collaborative work environment? Look no further than our GermanHub™ Co-Working Space! Our modern and fully-equipped workspace is designed to cater to the needs of entrepreneurs, start-ups, freelancers, and small businesses. With our flexible membership options, you can choose to work in a shared space, a private office, or a meeting room – depending on your specific requirements.
This full-package service provides an office with up to 4 fixed desks designed to your needs with all GermanHub™ benefits included. We will provide all basic office equipment, enabling you to focus on your work without having to worry about installing furniture, IT equipment such as printers, or purchasing office stationery. The GIC common area including pantry and open lounge can be used anytime. Meeting rooms can be booked for both meetings as well as in-house events.
Representation Services
Hong Kong is one of the most important sourcing and transshipment hubs in Asia. Due to its unique location, embedded in the Greater Bay Area, Hong Kong can serve as a bridgehead into China as well as Southeast Asian markets. For medium-sized companies, setting up a stand-alone subsidiary may be challenging due to specific administrative and legal requirements and differences in business culture. The Representation Service is designed to support you in developing new business opportunities and partnerships in Hong Kong without the need for your own legal structure.
GIC offers a full suite of solutions to satisfy your representation needs. Providing companies with the support, service, and intelligence they need to thrive in an increasingly complex regulatory environment, our team will help you identify, address and attract interested companies from Hong Kong and South China and establish new business relationships between potential business partners or maintain existing ones. Our staff will handle all Chinese, English and German language correspondence and represent you with decades of expertise in the Hong Kong-German business environment.
“I used the GermanHub co-working space for one week and was really inspired by the bright atmosphere, stunning harbour view, and – above all – the great community spirit.
During my stay, I had the opportunity to work among like-minded people and join several exciting networking events, which allowed me to effortlessly make new connections in the Hong Kong-German business community. Whether you’re new in town or just need a change of scenery, the GermanHub is a fantastic place to be.”
