The Association established the Academy for Retail Innovation and Management (ARIM) in November 2018, aiming to provide a learning platform and training activities for the retail industry to promote management excellence in the retail industry in Hong Kong, Mainland China and the region. In view of the importance of innovation to organizations’ sustainable growth and the increasing demand for innovative talents, the scope has expanded beyond the retail sector and the Academy was renamed as HKMA Global Centre for Innovation Management (GCIM) in 2025.
With a vision to be a leading institution with significant contribution to innovation and management, the objectives of the GCIM are to nurture innovative talents, to provide a platform where talents and elites can gather and exchange innovative ideas as well as to promote a culture of innovation and best practices amongst different business sectors and across industries. A series of education and training programmes and events will be organized so as to nurture more talents for Hong Kong and the region.
