Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury Christopher Hui on Monday said a new initiative to turn green technologies into investable and scalable projects, the Green Accelerator, would be launched later in the day.

Speaking at the 2026 Hong Kong Green Finance Association and Greater Bay Area Green Finance Alliance Annual Forum, he said the accelerator initiative would channel private capital towards climate solutions where it is most needed, while creating new opportunities for Hong Kong's professional services.

"By providing systematic pre-finance support and project structuring, it addresses a critical bottleneck: the shortage of investment-ready green projects," Hui said.

Many Belt and Road economies, he pointed out, require substantial financing for green development and climate resilience.

"The transition to a low-carbon future is not a destination to be reached by a single route," Hui said.

"Different countries or stakeholders are going through diverse journeys, with different starting points and also different challenges.

"Hong Kong's commitment is to be a facilitator, a connector and a partner in the process.

"We will continue to deepen our collaboration with the mainland, the Greater Bay Area, and the international community, mobilising capital, sharing expertise and building resilience."

Hui said Hong Kong has been at the forefront of facilitating green investment and sustainable infrastructure development across participating economies, leveraging the SAR's deep capital markets and professional expertise to structure bankable projects and de-risk investments.
