Redefining Hong Kong: Culture & Sports 2026
ABOUT REDEFINING HONG KONG - CULTURE & SPORTS
Hong Kong is seeking to strengthen its role as a destination for culture and sport alongside its established position as a financial centre. Its first five-year development plan puts both sectors firmly on the agenda, while record Asian Games results give fresh momentum to its sporting ambitions.
With major venues expanding the city’s capacity to host events, the opportunity extends beyond attracting international attention. Current policy priorities include developing sports careers, supporting creative businesses and connecting cultural experiences with tourism. The challenge is turning these ambitions into lasting benefits for residents, visitors and local talent.
Redefining Hong Kong: Culture and Sports brings together business leaders, policymakers and practitioners to explore what comes next. How can cultural spaces become places people return to throughout the year? What would help athletes and creative talent build sustainable careers? How can local stories reach wider audiences? And how can investment in culture and sport support a stronger economy while making both a more accessible part of everyday life?
