10 000 insurance elites gather in Hong Kong for IDA conference

More than 10 000 financial insurance professionals from around the world gathered in Hong Kong for the 16th Worldwide Chinese Life Insurance Congress and 2026 International Dragon Award Annual Conference

In a strategic move aimed at streamlining Hong Kong corporate onboarding, digital corporate services provider Air Corporate and global payments platform Airwallex have joined forces. This partnership eliminates the need for two separate applications—company registration and opening a payment account—by offering an integrated solution.

Founders can now receive a registered Hong Kong legal entity and a live Airwallex multi-currency account through a single onboarding process with Air Corporate. To promote this initiative, Airwallex and Air Corporate are offering a complimentary Expert package upgrade to 10 Air Corporate clients each month, which typically costs additional fees.

The company registration in Hong Kong is highly sought after due to its favorable tax regime, absence of foreign exchange controls, and efficient incorporation process, making it a gateway to Mainland China and ASEAN for international businesses. Airwallex contributes to this partnership by providing payment infrastructure for seamless day-one operability, supporting multi-currency accounts, local collections, and global payouts all in one interface.

Marcus Cheng, Associate Director of GTM Partnerships at Airwallex Hong Kong, emphasized the goal of empowering businesses to scale globally without operational friction. This solution caters to e-commerce brands, cross-border trade, professional services, and first-time founders expanding into or out of Asia. To apply, founders can visit Air-Corporate.com/hk/Airwallex, and sponsored spots are available monthly.
