HKPC’s SME One in Operation for Business

 

To provide comprehensive support to local SMEs, the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC) has set up a new one-stop support centre, SME One, to offer information on various SME support and funding schemes, solutions for enhancing operation efficiency and competitiveness, as well as advisory services. SME One commences operation today (17 July 2012).

Mrs Agnes Mak, Executive Director of HKPC, said, “For the past 45 years, HKPC has strived to support businesses in raising their competitiveness. The establishment of SME One marks our long-term commitment on this path.”

She said, “With the variety of business support and funding schemes available on the market, SMEs very often find it difficult to identify schemes best fit their needs. By providing a one-stop access to information on related support schemes and services of the Hong Kong and Mainland governments, financing options in the private sector, and the latest IT applications, SME One will help smooth out the way.”

Located on the ground floor of HKPC Building and occupying an area of 400m2, SME One contains four zones, namely ‘SME Support Schemes’, ‘SME Banking and Financing’, ‘HKPC SME Support Programmes’ and ‘IT and Cloud Computing Applications’. In addition to serving as an information hub, it also features professionally-trained ambassadors who offer on-site advisory to SMEs on various support and funding schemes, manufacturing technologies, business management and financing. Other new services include free face-to-face consultation and online enquiry.

An inaugural SME One event, SME Fund Day, was held today to introduce SME support and funding schemes from industry support organizations and banks.

SME One is open from 10am to 7pm, Monday to Friday. For more information, please visit the website www.smeone.org or contact the centre hotline at tel. (852) 2788 6262 or email: smeone@hkpc.org.
