(ii) formulate attractive special facilitation measures covering aspects such as land, tax and financing that are applicable exclusively to target enterprises, and provide them with tailor-made plans to facilitate the setting up of their operations in Hong Kong;
(iii) provide the employees of these target enterprises with one-stop facilitation services in areas such as visa application and education arrangement for their children.
