The 2026 Hong Kong–Macao–Shandong Week took place in Hong Kong and Macao from May 18 to 22, focusing on enhancing cooperation in trade, investment, culture, and youth exchanges.

This year's Shandong Week included three main events and eight supporting activities. At the opening ceremony of the Shandong Week and the Shandong–Hong Kong Synergistic Development Conference, 18 key cooperation projects between Shandong and Hong Kong were signed on site, including 16 foreign-invested projects with a total investment of $1.09 billion and contracted foreign capital of $330 million.

Shandong's economy grew 6 percent in the first quarter of this year, following a 10.3 trillion yuan ($1.51 trillion) GDP in 2025. During the five-day event, another 15 financing projects worth HK$15.6 billion were also finalized.

In addition to business, cultural tourism promotions highlighted Shandong's study tours, including "national treasure discovery" and "following textbooks to Shandong". Youth engagement was also a key focus, with over 110 young entrepreneurs from the three regions gathering to discuss innovation and green development. To ensure ongoing collaboration, they agreed to jointly establish an online platform for connecting innovation outcomes and organize regular exchange visits.

The quality Shandong products presented, from intelligent manufacturing to agricultural specialties, not only show the strong cooperation foundation among Shandong, Hong Kong, and Macao, but also illustrate how the three regions complement each other. Shandong brings strong manufacturing and innovation capabilities, Hong Kong offers global financial and professional services, and Macao serves as a unique platform linking Portuguese-speaking countries.
