Professor Sun Dong, Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry, stated in his speech: “Cyberport has proactively aligned with the Government’s direction for innovation and technology development, leveraging Hong Kong’s unique advantage as a ‘super- connector’ and ‘super value-adder’. Through seed funding, Cyberport has supported the research, development and commercialisation of over 1,000 innovative projects, nurturing more than 1,400 start-ups. These figures demonstrate Cyberport’s role and influence in driving the development of Hong Kong’s local I&T ecosystem. To expedite development, Cyberport has established a series of leading digital infrastructures, including the largest AI supercomputing centre in Hong Kong, which will more than double its computing power within the year, as well as Cyberport Phase 5 of which construction is due for completion by the end of the year with advanced facilities such as cloud storage. Cyberport will continue to enhance Hong Kong’s AI ecosystem and create opportunities for the entire I&T sector. I look forward to Cyberport and the companies present here continuing to collaborate with the SAR Government, contributing to the sustainable development of Hong Kong’s I&T and AI core industries with more forward-looking R&D insight and innovative technologies. This helps Hong Kong achieve the vision of becoming an international I&T centre and a global AI hub, and support the country’s development into a technological powerhouse.”

Simon Chan, Chairman of Cyberport, said, “With thanks to the HKSAR Government for support and guidance, Cyberport continues to perform the role as a ‘State-level Scientific and Technological Enterprise Incubator’, having successfully nurtured and supported 11 listed companies and 10 unicorns to date. Cyberport also plays the roles of a ‘super- connector’ and a ‘super value-adder’, successfully attracting over 20 listed companies, unicorns, and soonicorns from both local and international markets to establish a presence here. Notably, some enterprises have achieved listings within six months of landing in Cyberport and have been selected as strategic enterprises of the HKSAR Government. Looking ahead, Cyberport will continue to bring together leading enterprises and exceptional technology companies, setting a benchmark for the I&T sector and driving digital transformation across industries. We will continue to work together with the HKSAR Government and partners from all sectors to promote closer collaboration among government, industry, academia, research, investment and user communities, pooling talent and resources from Hong Kong and abroad to contribute to the goal of developing Hong Kong into an international innovation and AI hub.”
