On Tuesday (July 8, 2025), Cathay announced the opening of their largest office in Mainland China.  Cathay’s new Digital and IT office is located at the Qianhai Kerry Centre in Shenzhen, and was officially opened with a special ceremony earlier today.  The event was hosted by the Director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the Shenzhen Municipal Government, Jiang Likun, and Deputy Director General of the Qianhai Authority, Wen Ping, together with members of Cathay’s CEO, Ronald Lam, the company’s Director for the Chinese Mainland, Arnold Cheng, and Cathay’s Director - Digital and IT, Lawrence Fong. ​


Speaking at the office opening ceremony in Shenzhen today, Cathay’s CEO, Ronald Lam, said,


“Digital transformation is crucial to Cathay’s future success. The new Shenzhen IT office will synergise with our Hong Kong headquarters and Guangzhou IT office, leveraging Qianhai’s position as a regional innovation hub to accelerate our digital development and expand our leading technological capabilities.”


Today’s opening of the new Shenzhen office follows the opening of Cathay’s Guangzhou office in 2024, and will strengthen the collaboration between teams in Hong Kong, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, ad part of the digital development in the Greater Bay Area (GBA).  As a leading pilot zone committed to speeding up in-depth Shenzhen-Hong Kong integration, Qianhai benefits from national policies as well as its own resource-pooling capabilities, making the new office there a key part of Cathay’s digital transformation.
