Xinhua Hong Kong, Nov. 4 (Xie Niu) The “2026 Digital Port Venture Investment Forum” opened on November 4th at the Hong Kong Digital Port. The two-day event, with the theme of “Changing from central to sharp, gathering momentum for growth: winning a new race,” gathered more than 80 international venture capital experts, entrepreneurs, and industry representatives to discuss in depth global venture capital trends, capital reallocation, enterprise-level artificial intelligence, and AI agents.
This year‘s events revolve around three main themes: big trends and AI cutting-edge technologies, regional market focus and global corridors, and market focus and strategic capital dynamics. The first day of the event features keynote speeches and investor matching sessions, etc. The forum will host the “Smart Economy Summit” the next day, with the theme “Intelligent Breakthrough, Tokenization of the Future,” exploring topics such as how AI intelligences are reshaping the business world, and how digital assets are redefining asset and value flows.
At the event, Zhang Manli, Deputy Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government, said that transforming AI potential into sustainable growth requires not only technology, but also capital investment, business expertise and market opening channels. The HKSAR Government will continue to strengthen support for promising start-up projects, while increasing investment efforts to mobilize more market capital, consolidating Hong Kong‘s position as an international center of innovation and technology as well as a leading hub for AI.
Chen Ximing, Chairman of Hong Kong Digital Port, said that in the face of the rapidly changing global capital landscape, Hong Kong‘s unique role as a “super connector” and “super value-added person” connecting the Mainland and the world is more important than ever before. The cross-border dialogue and partnership facilitated by this forum will open up new opportunities for innovation R&D, capital investment and diversified collaboration.
Digital Port, which is wholly owned by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, serves as the hub of Hong Kong‘s digital technology and artificial intelligence accelerator. It is dedicated to empowering industrial digitalization and intelligent transformation, promoting the development of the digital economy and artificial intelligence, helping Hong Kong become an international center of artificial intelligence and innovative technology.
