History

HKIAC was established in 1985 by a group of leading businesspeople and professionals in an effort to meet the growing need for dispute resolution services in Asia. So that the HKIAC could be set up initially, the Hong Kong business community and the Hong Kong Government provided funding to the HKIAC. Today, the HKIAC is financially self-sufficient, and completely free and independent from any type of influence or control.
