The role of investor relations (IR) has become more vital than ever in communicating corporate values, strategy and resiliency amid the increasingly complex geopolitical environment. What challenges and opportunities do IR professionals encounter amid changing reporting standards and the growth of ESG investment? How can companies leverage innovation and technology in the way they engage with, and build trust with the investor community?

As a supporting organization, we are pleased to invite you to the next Corporate Access Series on Thursday, 7 July. Led by HKEX’s CEO Nicolas Aguzin, executives and fellow guest speakers will explore the future of IR, looking into the emerging trends impacting the professionals in this space and the wider investor community. Specifically, the event will delve deep into the evolving world of ESG standards, and connect investors with a host of Hong Kong-listed companies active in the ESG space.

The event will also see the official launch of HKEX IR Connect – a brand new digital investor relations platform connecting issuers and investors and a perfect example of how technology supports companies to engage and build trust with the investor community.
