Hong Kong Community Connection- Bridging Talent & Opportunity

Join us at Community Business Hong Kong Community Connection- Bridging Talent & Opportunity!

At Community Business, we believe social mobility is not just about helping individuals climb the ladder. It's about questioning how that ladder is built, who controls it, and who gets left out.

In unequal societies, mobility isn't just difficult. It can feel like a myth. Meritocracy celebrates individual success while ignoring the systemic barriers that block access to opportunity. Privilege, not just potential, often shapes outcomes.

Our research starts with inequality. We've found that the true barriers to opportunity are not only educational or personal, but structural and social. Financial hardship, limited access to quality education, lack of networks, and entrenched bias combine to shut out talent regardless of ability.

As a follow up to our research, we are looking to dive deeper and co-create solutions to this problem. This session will explore how we can move beyond surface-level solutions to tackle the root causes of inequality and build practical, inclusive pathways that truly connect talent with opportunity.

We are excited to share that this event is sponsored by Linklaters and we are partnering with JSM as our venue sponsor.

Community Business will take pictures and videos at the event for marketing use on our channels such as website, eDMs and social media. If you prefer not to be captured, please let us know at network@communitybusiness.org.
