Hong Kong Advances AI Collaboration at Greater Bay Area Tech Conference
Commissioner for Digital Policy highlights AI initiatives and cross-border cooperation in Guangzhou
On June 12, 2025, Hong Kong's Commissioner for Digital Policy, Tony Wong, participated in the 2025 Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Software Industry High-quality Development Conference, the 13th Guangdong-Hong Kong Cloud Computing Conference, and the 8th Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao ICT Conference held in Guangzhou.
The events focused on fostering innovation and technological collaboration within the Greater Bay Area.
During the main forum, Wong outlined Hong Kong's efforts to develop artificial intelligence (AI) as a core industry.
He noted the commencement of operations at Cyberport's AI Supercomputing Centre and the launch of a three billion Hong Kong dollar AI Subsidy Scheme aimed at supporting local institutions, research and development centers, and enterprises in utilizing the center's computing resources.
Wong also highlighted the establishment of the Hong Kong Generative AI Research and Development Center (HKGAI) under the InnoHK initiative.
HKGAI focuses on developing locally trained large language models and applications, including the document processing tool "HKPilot," currently in pilot use across all government departments.
Additionally, Wong mentioned the ongoing preparatory work for the Hong Kong AI Research and Development Institute, intended to facilitate upstream AI research and downstream application development.
He invited technology enterprises and talent from Guangdong to engage with Hong Kong's innovation and technology sector, leveraging the city's unique position under the "one country, two systems" principle.
The conference attracted approximately 400 participants, including industry experts, scholars, and government representatives from Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao.
It was jointly organized by the Guangdong Software Industry Association, the Yangcheng Evening News, the Hong Kong Cyberport Management Company Limited, the Computer Chambers of Macau, and the China Software Industry Association, under the guidance of relevant governmental departments.
In the afternoon, Wong visited two local technology enterprises in Guangzhou, where he was briefed on their products and solutions in new-generation information technology and cybersecurity.
He also learned about their application of large language models and generative AI technologies in product development.
Wong returned to Hong Kong later that day.
