HONG KONG SAR 23 November 2023 – The 6th ‘Greater Bay Area Outstanding Women Entrepreneur Awards 2023’ is co-organised by the Hong Kong Small and Medium Enterprises Association and FM 104 Metro Finance, with primary sponsorship from the Bank of Singapore, and more than 40 support units, announcing the list of award winners today. Secretary for Justice of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Mr. Paul Lam Ting-kwok, SC, was invited to officiate and present the awards. A panel of expert judges and business leaders from all walks of life were on hand to witness the outstanding achievements and extraordinary leadership style of 34 female entrepreneurs from various backgrounds and industries. The ‘Greater Bay Area Outstanding Female Entrepreneur Award- Supreme Honorable Winner 2023′ winner was Ms. Chiang Lai Yuen, JP, Chairman and President of Chen Hsong Holdings Limited.

Ms. Teresa Lee, Alternate Chief Executive & Head of Greater China, Bank of Singapore (HK Branch), served as the primary sponsor and presented the “GBA Outstanding Women Entrepreneur Award in Family Business” award to Ms. Minna Ng, Executive Director, the Director of the New Business Unit and the Executive Officer of Hong Kong and Macau Business Operations of Ajisen Hong Kong Limited.

Ms. Teresa Lee, Alternate Chief Executive & Head of Greater China, Bank of Singapore (HK Branch), the main support institution, also served as an award guest. She said – “Today’s award winners have injected power into the business world through their unremitting efforts, innovative thinking and unwavering perseverance, and have demonstrated an exemplary role as female entrepreneurs. Their spirit and outstanding abilities not only create prosperity for society, but also bring far-reaching enlightenment and encouragement to everyone. I firmly believe that entrepreneurship is their first big step towards success, and as their businesses mature and their incomes rise, they will gradually change from merely business “creators”, and eventually transform into “value-added” and “progressive” entrepreneurial status while they continue to shine in their respective fields and professions.”

Mr. Song Man Hei, Co-chairman of the organising committee and Managing Director of Metro Broadcasting Co., Ltd., said – “This year’s event is being held against the backdrop of the post global pandemic, customs clearance developments between China and Hong Kong, and a return to social normalcy. The number of participants in this year’s event was the highest ever and the response was overwhelming. On behalf of myself and the event organisers we send our sincere congratulations and admiration to all the winners, and hope that they will continue to display their leadership style that combines strength and flexibility, working together for a brighter future of Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area. Metro Finance will also continue to rely on its own unique advantages in cross-media platforms to help each award winner increase their visibility in the Bay Area, while expanding their business networks, and providing listeners with more Greater Bay Area information. ”

Ms. Pam Mak Mei-yee, Co-chairman of the organising committee and Permanent Honorary President of the Hong Kong Federation of Small and Medium Enterprises, said- “The construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is key part of the country’s 14th Five-Year Plan and will undoubtedly bring unprecedented benefits to all walks of life throughout the region with greater development opportunities. Hong Kong will also continue to leverage its advantages as an international financial hub and play an important role in connecting mainland China to the world in the development of the Greater Bay Area. The Hong Kong Federation of Small and Medium Enterprises will also continue to actively promote various projects and plans to assist the development of Hong Kong’s small and medium-sized enterprises, while also bringing together entrepreneurs from different industries to establish a collaborative platform to promote mutual exchanges of business experiences and insights. We will strive to contribute to the economic, societal, and developmental success of the Greater Bay area by making greater contributions toward talent cultivation. ”
