From Monday, May 9 to Friday, May 13, 2005, IFEZ held investment briefings in Hong Kong and Singapore. The events were attended by about 60 representatives from multinational corporations, local branch offices, and financial institutions, and included one-on-one consultations with about 20 investor companies. As a result, IFEZ identified 12 companies with investment potential across a range of sectors, including information technology (IT), biotechnology (BT), finance, and real estate development. Building on these briefings, IFEZ planned to expand its investment attraction network across Asia.
