In her opening remarks, the Commissioner for the Development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Ms Maisie Chan, said that AI technology is a new engine driving a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation. The GBA possesses solid technological strength, abundant talent resources, diverse application scenarios and complete industrial chains, creating unprecedented possibilities for the vigorous development of AI. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government has always supported the local I&T sector in strengthening exchanges and interactions with the Mainland, especially the cities in the GBA, to promote complementary advantages of Hong Kong and the Mainland cities in the GBA, and jointly build a more comprehensive and globally competitive I&T industrial chain, realising the vision of establishing the GBA as an international I&T hub.
The Chief of Staff of the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP), Ms Gracie Ng, said that Hong Kong serves as a premier springboard connecting Mainland China with global markets. By aligning Hong Kong's unique advantages in global networks, business environment, financial system, and scientific research talent with national priorities, the HKSTP is building an open, vibrant I&T ecosystem. The Corporation's enhanced collaboration in technology transfer, demonstration and application projects, and standards alignment will empower businesses to "bring in" and "go global" while tapping into opportunities from the GBA and the nation's strategic industries - accelerating industrial transformation through technological innovation and expanding our influence in domestic and international markets.
Today's seminar was co-organised by the GBA Office and the HKSTP and featured a rich programme. Legislative Council Member Professor William Wong and the Acting Commissioner for Innovation and Technology, Mr Philip Har, delivered keynote speeches, addressing the development trends in AI and Hong Kong's policies supporting I&T and start-up enterprises respectively. In addition, representatives from six renowned I&T enterprises took part in the case-sharing session and showcased AI technology solutions in different fields and the scaled-up applications of innovative technologies in the GBA. The panel discussion session invited four experts to share insights from diverse perspectives on the future opportunities and challenges of AI+ industry applications.
