WAIC 2025 centred around the theme of “Global Solidarity in the AI Era”. The conference brought together global experts, scholars, entrepreneurs, government officials, international organisations, and investors, creating a platform for collaboration and showcasing cutting-edge AI solutions. This year, Cyberport again led start-ups to participate in the “Hong Kong Pavilion” established by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), showcasing Hong Kong’s AI innovations to global audiences. The exhibits include a wide range of innovative applications, such as AI education platforms, fall risk management systems, smart training systems, smart city applications, and AI content generation platforms, fully demonstrating Hong Kong’s strength in the Innovation and Technology (I&T) sector. (For details of the participating start-ups, please refer to the appendix.)
At the opening ceremony, Premier Li Qiang of the State Council presented three suggestions for advancing AI development and global governance: promoting the dissemination and application of outcomes; strengthening cooperation in innovation and open-source initiatives; and building a secure and trustworthy global governance framework.
As Hong Kong’s AI accelerator, Cyberport is advancing several key initiatives in related fields. Through the AISS, Cyberport promotes the transformation of local research and development (R&D) and application projects, fostering the realisation of AI outcomes. In promoting open-source cooperation, the “Cyberport Open Source Community” was established in June this year to provide computing power through Cyberport’s Artificial Intelligence Supercomputing Centre (AISC), supporting open-source technology testing and application. Furthermore, in building a governance system, Cyberport has partnered with various sectors, including the international organisation World Digital Technology Academy (WDTA), to establish the “WDTA Asia-Pacific Institute” at Cyberport, promoting regional governance standards and global cooperation, thereby contributing to the creating of a safe, trustworthy, and responsible AI ecosystem and demonstrating Hong Kong’s proactive role in global AI development.
Rocky Cheng, CEO of Cyberport, stated “AI is rapidly becoming a key driver of new quality productive forces. As Hong Kong’s digital technology hub and AI accelerator, Cyberport is proud to lead nine outstanding community members to this year’s WAIC, three of whom have been selected for the ‘WAIC 2025 Future Tech’. Additionally, one of the use cases from the ‘Artificial Intelligence Subsidy Scheme’ has been shortlisted for the Top 30 of the prestigious SAIL Award, showcasing innovative application solutions to the world and highlighting Hong Kong’s technological capabilities. Cyberport and our community members will continue to leverage our strengths in line with the development strategies of the HKSAR Government and the nation, focusing on research and development and transformative real-world applications in areas such as AI, green technology and Fintech. We will keep welcoming key enterprises from various tech sectors and promoting digital transformation for both society and businesses, contributing innovative power and economic value to the technological innovation and high-quality development of Hong Kong and beyond.”
To foster innovation, this year’s “Future Tech Innovation Incubation Exhibition Special Zone” featured some of the world’s most promising AI start-ups, including three Cyberport start-ups: Canpanion, which develops AI-driven education and psychology ecosystems; Votee AI, focusing on AIGC technology for governments and enterprises; and YouToo Robot, specialising in industrial AI operation and maintenance. They were selected as “WAIC 2025 Future Tech” in recognition of their forward-looking solutions, growth potential, and commercial value; notably, Votee AI and YouToo Robot have been recognised as “Future Tech” for the second consecutive year. Moreover, other start-ups including FireAlert, LAiPIC, Laiye, Lidarvision, RealAI, and HK Simfinity showcased their AI applications at the event, allowing attendees from around the world to experience Hong Kong’s I&T scene.
Additionally, one of the approved projects under the AISS, titled “Enhancing Edge-based Foundation Models for Advanced Reasoning”, developed by PolyU, along with projects from strategic enterprises at Cyberport, including iFLYTEK’s “AI Learning Tablet: A Personalised Learning Device Empowered by Spark Large Model”, and Apollo Go‘s “Autonomous Ride-hailing Platform”, were shortlisted for the Top 30 of the SAIL Award. Biren Technology‘s joint project on the “Distributed OCS All-Optical Interconnection Chips and Super-node Application Innovation Solution” won the SAIL Award, the highest honour at WAIC. This award aims to identify globally recognised AI projects that significantly enhance human well-being, thereby encouraging technological breakthroughs, application innovations and governance explorations.
During the conference, Cyberport also co-organised a forum entitled “The Bay Area Hub in the Age of AI: Hong Kong’s New Vision for the Smart Economy” with the HKTDC and the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks (HKSTP) to explore Hong Kong’s strategic positioning in the development of the smart economy. The forum features speakers from leading technology enterprise including Chairman of Suanova Technology Douglas Fang, Prof Guo Yike, Provost of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) and Director of HKGAI, and Prof Yang Hongxia, Executive Director of the PolyU Academy for Artificial Intelligence, Associate Dean (Global Engagement) of Faculty of Computer and Mathematical Sciences, who shared insights on the application and future development of AI technology.
Additionally, a panel discussion, moderated by Dr Crystal Fok, Director of AI Applications at Cyberport, included Hendrick Sin, Chairperson of the Committee of the AISS, Alvin Li, Head of Supervisory Technology at the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), Liu Hui, General Manager of Hong Kong Inspur Cloud Company, and Guanchun Wang, Chairman of Laiye Technology to discuss how Hong Kong can leverage its international advantages to foster cross-regional cooperation, exploring aspects such as government funding, financial regulation, enterprise settlement, and the international expansion of start-ups.
With the AISC, the largest in Hong Kong, commencing operation in December last year, Cyberport actively promotes the local R&D and applications, with the AISC and AI Lab as the core engines to achieve more scientific research breakthroughs. This year, its computing power will gradually increase to 3,000 PFLOPS to meet the industry’s growing demand for R&D. Cyberport also collaborates with over 400 AI and data science start-ups and works with local colleges, R&D institutions and enterprises to fully utilise the computing resources of the AISC to promote AI technology and R&D, empowering digital and intelligent transformation of industries, promoting the digital economy and AI development, and supporting Hong Kong in realising its vision of becoming an international AI and I&T hub.

Nota Sign Integrates with Hong Kong’s iAM Smart, Enabling One-Stop Account Opening, Employee Onboarding and Contract Signing for Businesses and Residents
As Hong Kong continues to advance its digital government infrastructure, iAM Smart has become an important gateway connecting public services with digital commercial services. By the first quarter of 2026, the iAM Smart mobile application had recorded more than 10 million cumulative downloads and connected users to over 1,400 online services and electronic forms provided by government departments, public organisations and private institutions.
Through its integration with this digital identity ecosystem, Nota Sign has further strengthened its local digital signing capabilities in Hong Kong.
Designed to support electronic signature and data privacy requirements in more than 100 countries and regions, Nota Sign complies with major international regulatory frameworks, including the EU eIDAS Regulation, the US ESIGN Act, Hong Kong’s Electronic Transactions Ordinance and the GDPR.
The platform has completed ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27701 certifications, as well as SOC 2 Type I and Type II audits. It supports local digital identity systems in markets including Hong Kong and Singapore and operates data centres in key regions worldwide to meet data localisation requirements, fulfilling its commitment to “Sign with Global Trust.”
Through its deep integration with iAM Smart, Nota Sign enables both corporate and individual users to complete trusted identity verification and legally valid digital signatures using their iAM Smart accounts.
The integration connects Nota Sign directly with Hong Kong’s official digital identity infrastructure and further embeds the platform into the city’s digital government ecosystem. It provides government organisations, businesses and individuals in the Greater Bay Area, particularly those in Hong Kong, with a safer, more efficient and standardised one-stop digital signing solution.
Developed by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, iAM Smart is a one-stop digital identity authentication platform. Its compliant digital signing framework is established in accordance with Hong Kong’s Electronic Transactions Ordinance.
The platform serves as a key gateway through which Hong Kong residents and businesses access digital government and commercial services. It provides trusted identity verification, encrypted security and fully traceable records and is widely used across public service applications, commercial transactions and identity verification scenarios.
The integration brings together the core capabilities of iAM Smart and Nota Sign. Hong Kong users can authorise access to Nota Sign with one click using their iAM Smart accounts, eliminating repeated registration and data entry and significantly simplifying identity verification during cross-border signing processes.
Users can also verify their identities through iAM Smart and use Nota Sign to sign contracts, commercial documents and official records online. Data is encrypted throughout the process, all actions are recorded and signing activities remain fully traceable, helping ensure that the resulting signatures meet applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
For users, the integration between Nota Sign and iAM Smart creates a more convenient and trusted digital signing experience for both businesses and individuals.
Whether handling local transactions in Hong Kong, collaborating across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area or conducting cross-border commercial activities, users can reduce repeated identity checks, paper document circulation and in-person procedures, improving both operational efficiency and the overall digital service experience.
Nota Sign supports a wide range of high-frequency signing scenarios, including business operations, financial services, human resources, commercial collaboration and personal affairs. Typical applications include the following:
Nota Sign can be used for local Hong Kong business activities and cross-border collaboration across the Greater Bay Area, including supply chain coordination, procurement transactions and service partnerships.
Businesses can initiate cooperation agreements, procurement contracts, service agreements, supply chain reconciliation confirmations and other commercial documents through Nota Sign.
Signatories can then use iAM Smart to complete identity authentication and digital signing, improving business collaboration efficiency and delivering a smoother signing experience.
For cross-regional employment, businesses can initiate online signing processes for offer letters, employment contracts, confidentiality agreements, non-compete agreements and overseas or cross-border assignment documents.
Employees can authenticate their identities and sign digitally through iAM Smart, allowing onboarding documentation to be completed entirely online. This reduces the costs associated with manual identity verification and paper document circulation while improving the efficiency of human resources management.
Nota Sign can support digital processes involving account opening, insurance applications, wealth management and corporate services.
Businesses can embed iAM Smart’s identity authentication capabilities into Nota Sign signing workflows. Once customers have completed identity verification, they can immediately sign account-opening agreements, authorisation documents, service agreements and other materials.
This reduces repeated authentication and duplicate data entry, providing customers with a smoother and more efficient online service experience.
Hong Kong residents can use iAM Smart to verify their identities and sign digitally when entering into tenancy agreements, granting personal authorisations or handling cross-border mandates.
Users no longer need to repeatedly enter their identity details or attend multiple in-person verification appointments. This improves the efficiency of a wide range of digital processes and makes signing more convenient and intuitive.
Huang Xiang, Founder and CEO of Fadada, said that the integration with iAM Smart represents an important strategic step in Nota Sign’s continued development in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. It also strengthens the platform’s local compliance service ecosystem and regional service capabilities.
Nota Sign previously established a partnership with Digi-Sign, the first commercial recognised certification authority under Hong Kong’s Tradelink.
Overseas users who do not have an iAM Smart account can use Tradelink iD-One, together with passport-based electronic Know Your Customer verification, to complete identity verification and apply for a digital certificate.
Following the integration with iAM Smart, Hong Kong residents can now complete identity authentication and digital signing directly through their iAM Smart accounts.
These two identity verification channels serve different user groups and further strengthen Nota Sign’s identity authentication network in Hong Kong.
Looking ahead, Nota Sign will continue to leverage its mature cross-border signing technology and compliance framework to provide reliable digital signing infrastructure for Chinese enterprises expanding overseas, Hong Kong and Macao businesses entering the Chinese mainland, and cross-border industrial collaboration across the Greater Bay Area.
Through these capabilities, Nota Sign aims to establish a leading cross-border electronic signing platform rooted in the Greater Bay Area and serving organisations worldwide.
Nota Sign is Fadada’s global electronic signature platform. It is designed to support electronic signature and data privacy requirements in more than 100 countries and regions and complies with regulatory frameworks including the EU eIDAS Regulation, the US ESIGN Act, Hong Kong’s Electronic Transactions Ordinance and the GDPR.
The platform integrates with dozens of recognised overseas certification authorities and provides electronic signature solutions at multiple assurance levels.
Nota Sign has completed ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27701 certifications, as well as a SOC 2 Type I audit. It operates data centres in key regions worldwide to meet data localisation requirements and supports localised signing services such as Singapore’s Singpass.
The platform has also introduced a GxP-compliant electronic signature solution designed to meet international regulatory requirements, including FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11.
Powered by a legal-specific large language model, Nota Sign provides artificial intelligence capabilities such as intelligent contract review and multilingual document comparison.
It also supports integration with mainstream enterprise systems, including Salesforce and SAP, significantly shortening cross-border signing cycles and helping businesses “Sign with Global Trust.”
