I wanted to provide an update on some disappointing news.
Today, we have announced that Uber is pausing its plans to move its regional headquarters to Hong Kong.
As you will be aware, in May we announced that we were ready to move our regional headquarters to Hong Kong, and establish an engineering and innovation hub in the city, if we can make progress on regulatory reform for our core business. Over the last few months we have been highly encouraged by the positive reactions to our plans that we have received from the public, and have been working on exciting proposals for further collaboration with a range of stakeholders.
However, since 2014 when Uber launched in Hong Kong, the Government has not met with us directly. Even after our recent calls for dialogue and offer to make major investments in the city, Government Bureaus continue to refuse to meet and meaningfully engage with us.
This combination of regulatory uncertainty, a lack of willingness to engage from the Government - in addition to the prospect of increased enforcement against Uber’s driver-partners, as recently announced by the Transport Bureau, and the continuing prosecution of drivers - makes investment increasingly difficult.
We continue to call on the Government to meet with Uber to start a dialogue about finding a resolution. We know that the full resolution of this issue will take time, however, we think that a dialogue with the Government - who have ultimate responsibility for transport regulations - is a reasonable request, particularly when they are actively considering legislation to govern the future of the industry.
Sadly, this uncertainty does not only hang over Uber’s investment plans in the region, but far more importantly, it hangs over the more than 14,000 active driver-partners who use the app in Hong Kong to find earning opportunities in what are extremely challenging economic times, and the millions of Hong Kongers who rely on Uber to get from A to B.
Thank you for your continued support, and please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or would like to discuss further.
Best wishes
Richard
