Up until now, the economy hasn't exactly done a great job of taking care of our planet's climate. And one might say that business models that are oriented towards profit while ignoring externalities are part of the problem. But can companies that have sustainability at the core of their businesses and yet that are run for profit, be part of the solution? Enter Climate-KIC, a large European public-private partnership that helps grow start-ups whose products and services are focused on sustainability. We first sit down with Mary Ritter, co-founder and former CEO of Climate-KIC, to discuss the role sustainable businesses can play in saving the climate. And in the second half, we talk to Climate-KIC's Director of Education Ebrahim Mohamed about what's wrong with the way economic models are taught to business students, and how changing economic education may help change the future.

By virtue of its stable financial system and reliable legal infrastructure, Hong Kong is recognised as the world’s top 3 international financial centres. Many international banks, multinational companies and major financial institutions have chosen Hong Kong as their regional headquarters or hub in Asia. Hong Kong companies are renowned, highly reputed and well-regarded by international business partners because businesses based here are required to abide by its stringent legal framework, and to comply with as its statutory compliance, annual return filing, and tax filing obligations.

Hong Kong is one of a few jurisdictions in the world free from any foreign exchange control. There are no regulatory factors and restrictions for the amount of funds brought in, transferred from, or taken out of the territory. However, according to the guidelines of The Hong Kong Monetary Authority, all banking institutions in Hong Kong should meet in-person with their clients at least once before a bank account could be opened. As such, customers cannot simply appoint an attorney or a proxy representing their company to open a bank account, without making a visit to Hong Kong. In most cases, we are able to help our clients open a bank account in just 1 to 5 working days with most of the banks in Hong Kong.
