With a vision to enhance trade efficiency between the Hong Kong trading community and its trading partners around the world, Tradelink has an initiative to develop T+, a next-generation e-trade services platform. Resources have already been reallocated for its development in the first half of 2025.

T+ is a digital platform that offers a comprehensive suite of AI-powered and secured value-added services, including intelligent digital document management, digital signing, financial and cybersecurity solutions, business enablement tools, and seamless integration with government services. This platform will facilitate our gradual transformation from a Government Electronic Trading Services (GETS) provider into a fully-fledged value-added services provider for the trading community in Hong Kong.

During the second half of 2025, we will focus on building the necessary infrastructure and core services of T+, launching its offerings in phases.

Tradelink's digital certificate solutions are gaining traction in the market. Our digital identity, iD-One, which is supported by Personal (Remote) ID-Cert Class 12 issued by Digi-Sign Certification Services Limited – Tradelink’s wholly-owned subsidiary and the only commercial Recognized Certification Authority under the Electronic Transactions Ordinance (ETO) (Cap 553) in Hong Kong - was officially endorsed by a leading financial regulator in Hong Kong for non-face-to-face account openings.

End users of our customers can open an account remotely by using ePassports that comply with the standards of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) to apply for iD-One via smartphones equipped with near field communication (NFC) function. This solution allows corporations to verify the identities of overseas applicants for remote client onboarding in over 100 countries, enabling our customers to access international markets cost-effectively.

We will maintain close engagement with regulators and actively promote our digital certificate solutions to businesses, positioning our clients for enhanced competitiveness and growth in an increasingly digital landscape.

Promoting the development of smart city and digital economy in Hong Kong is one of the development directions of the Hong Kong Innovation and Technology Development Blueprint. The Group is pleased to enter into a significant multi-year commercial arrangement with a government department in Hong Kong in June 2025 to participate in the development of the relevant digital infrastructure.

This project aims to design, implement, and issue a new type of digital certificate that will facilitate corporate identity authentication and corporate signature verification in a secure, convenient and efficient manner when using electronic government services and conducting online business transactions. This will alleviate the current paper-based and complicated procedures, thus reduce the administrative burdens on corporations, especially the small and medium-sized enterprises, in their business operations and expedite the digital transformation of businesses across Hong Kong. The Government's goal is to roll out the service progressively from end 2026 onwards.

As a leader in providing digital certificate solutions in Hong Kong, we are excited about these business opportunities, which will pave the way for long-term growth in the public sector.
