ABOUT THE HOSTING ORGANISATIONS Hong Kong Institute of Arbitrators (HKIArb)

Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (“HKIAC”)

HKIAC was established by a group of the leading business and professional people in Hong Kong to be the focus for Asia of dispute resolution in 1985. It has been generously

funded by the business community and by the HKSAR Government but it is totally independent of both and it is financially self sufficient. HKIAC aims to assist disputing parties to solve their disputes by arbitration and by other means of dispute resolution. The HKIAC places great emphasis in providing online dispute resolution services in a wide variety of areas including intellectual property and information technology.

Hong Kong Institute of Arbitrators (HKIArb) is a Hong Kong company limited by guarantee established in September 1996. A group of Hong

Hong Kong professional people interested in arbitration, mediation and other kinds of dispute resolution got together to form Hong Kong's own arbitration institute. It has charitable status and is non-profit making. HKIArb’s main objective is to promote arbitration and other alternative methods of dispute resolution (ADR) in Hong Kong which is a service centre for Asia and gateway to China. HKIArb will be involved in the training of arbitrators and mediators and the setting of appropriate standards of conduct for arbitrators and mediators in Hong Kong. It is involved in law reform relevant both to arbitration and mediation. It is working to develop ties with other organisations involved in arbitration and ADR, particularly those within China and in the Asia.
