The history of HKPC dated back to the 1960s when Hong Kong began to evolve from an entrepot trading centre into an industrial centre. With the predominance of family-owned small enterprises in the manufacturing sector, the Government saw the need to provide institutional support to foster the further development of Hong Kong industry, thus the Hong Kong Trade Development Council and Hong Kong Export Credit Insurance Corporation were set up in 1966 and the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC) in 1967. In 1967, HKPC was established by statute to support Hong Kong companies adopt productivity-enhancing practices, enabling them to make use of their resources in a more effective and innovative fashion so as to increase the value-added content of products and services. For to 50 years, HKPC plays a crucial role in Hong Kong’s industry support infrastructure, focusing on sourcing, developing and transferring new technologies and management knowhow to enhance the competitiveness and sustainability of Hong Kong industries in the world market.

Our Business Model As a statutory industry support organization, HKPC’s core business is to help companies and industry sectors enhance their competitiveness and sustainability to cope with the challenges of the external environment, including economic conditions, technological change and environmental problems. To do so, HKPC needs to draw on various “Capitals” including financial capital, human capital, structural capital and relational capital, and covert them into products, services, technology and knowhow through HKPC’s industry support platforms and enterprise support services. Economic, environmental and social values are then created as the final outcome. Industry Support Platform HKPC can never serve Hong Kong’s industries in isolation, in order to scale up its services substantively, HKPC has to leverage upon external capabilities. In the process, HKPC creates support platforms to provide comprehensive services to the industries in need and also create new business opportunities for all other key stakeholders and business partners. Enterprise Support Service Besides the one-to-many service platform, HKPC also provides one-on-one enterprise support service covering the entire business value chain. These service projects complement the service platforms. The experience gained, on the other hand, ensured that the service platforms are relevant to the industry. one
