Hong Kong and Netherlands Collaborate on Sustainable Finance and Green Development
Christopher Hui, Hong Kong’s Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, recently completed a successful visit to the Netherlands, highlighting the city’s leading role in sustainable finance and Web3 innovation.
During his visit, Hui engaged with key financial stakeholders, including regulators, fintech professionals, and asset managers. He also participated in Money 20/20 Europe, a major fintech event, where he shared insights into Hong Kong’s financial landscape.
Pioneering Tokenized Green Bonds

Hui’s visit also included high-level meetings with Dutch financial officials, including discussions on financial regulation and bond issuance. He also engaged with the Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency and a venture capital firm to explore collaboration opportunities in sustainable Web3 development and fintech.
Building Bridges and Promoting Innovation
Furthermore, Hui met with the Chinese Ambassador to the Netherlands to discuss the importance of a sustainable economy and innovation, emphasizing Hong Kong’s role as a bridge between the Netherlands and Mainland China.
