The Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) unveiled the “SKYTOPIA” brand and presented the Airport City blueprint to the business community at a significant event today. The event highlighted the development potential and investment opportunities within “SKYTOPIA,” featuring themed exhibition zones that showcased key projects. More than 300 business leaders from Hong Kong, Mainland China, and the international business community attended the event.

“SKYTOPIA” integrates commercial activities, popular culture, art trading, entertainment, and leisure. It is designed to capitalise on Hong Kong’s unique advantages, harnessing both land and marine resources surrounding Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA).
