The government indicated that over ten mainland new energy vehicle supply chain companies have listed in Hong Kong in the past five years, raising over HK$120 billion.

The national “15th Five-Year Plan” clearly proposes to cultivate and strengthen emerging and future industries and accelerate the development of intelligent connected new energy vehicles. Legislative Council member Wu Yingpeng submitted a written inquiry to the Hong Kong SAR government at a Legislative Council meeting 8th July, focusing on how Hong Kong can play its role as a two-way window for “bringing in” and “going out,” attracting the mainland’s new energy vehicle industry chain to settle in Hong Kong and helping the country’s industries go international. In its written reply, the government stated that the SAR government has been actively integrating into the overall national development strategy and published an updated version of the “Hong Kong Electric Vehicle Popularization Roadmap” in February 2026. The government will provide comprehensive policy support to companies intending to promote electric vehicles in Hong Kong and leverage Hong Kong’s status as an international financial and innovation hub as a “bridgehead” for the national electric vehicle industry to go global. The government revealed that since the Hong Kong Stock Exchange launched its specialized technology company listing mechanism in 2023, it has included autonomous driving and electric vehicles in its acceptable scope. In the past five years, more than ten mainland new energy vehicle industry chain-related companies have listed in Hong Kong, raising approximately HK$120 billion.
