GBA International Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Summit 2025 Opens Grandly “AI and Robotics Fest” Launches Alongside HKPC Drives AI for All and Embodied AI Adoption to Propel Hong Kong into a New Era of New Productive Forces
Aligning with National Strategy on New Productive Forces and Local Policy Priorities Deepening Collaboration among Government, Industry, Academia, Research and Investment
The “15th Five-Year Plan” proposals emphasise leading the development of new productive forces, accelerating AI technological innovation, fully implementing the “AI+” initiative, and strengthening the integration of AI with industrial development and other sectors. The HKSAR Government has designated AI as a key industry and a core driver to nurture new productive forces and achieve new industrialisation in Hong Kong. HKPC will collaborate with industry partners to advance R&D in key AI technologies, promote widespread adoption, and strengthen talent development.
To align with national and HKSAR development directions and seize new opportunities in AI, this year’s Summit convenes leaders and experts from Government, Industry, Academia, Research and Investment to delve into topics including industrial innovation and tech synergy, AI application at scale, digital economy development, and smart city construction, facilitating in-depth discussion and knowledge sharing. The event not only brings the latest AI developments and cutting-edge case studies to the industry, but also promotes cross-sector collaboration to further enable AI across sectors—supporting Hong Kong’s journey toward new productive forces and high-quality development.
Professor Dong SUN, JP, Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry, said at the opening ceremony: “Our country’s support for Hong Kong to develop into an international innovation and technology centre is reaffirmed in the Recommendations of 15th Five-Year Plan just released. Hong Kong shall work closely with neighbouring cities to contribute to the high-quality development of the Greater Bay Area and the country. In this connection, AI and robotics remain top of our agenda. The Government adopts a multi-pronged approach in fostering the development of AI, from enhancing R&D (research and development) capabilities, cultivating and attracting talents, to building infrastructure and promoting AI-related industry applications.” He adds: “I hope events that pool together experts in the field – such as today’s Summit – will continue to inspire us to innovate, collaborate, and lead with purpose.”
From Proof of Concept to Commercial Scale Accelerating the Adoption of Humanoid Robots and Embodied Intelligence
The Humanoid Robotics Exhibition is open to the public, featuring advanced technologies including humanoid robots and quadruped robot dogs by Unitree Robotics and its Hong Kong agent POI Corporation; humanoid robots by Ubtech; humanoid and quadruped robots by Agibot and its Hong Kong agent Nokodar Autonomy; a flexible robotic arm by Flexiv; humanoid service robots by Keenon Robotics; and AI agent solutions by GPTBots.ai under Aurora, among others.
Mr Emil YU Chen-on, BBS, JP, Deputy Chairman of HKPC, said: “The global embodied AI market size is expected to exceed US$23 billion by 2030. China is poised to lead industry development and could capture nearly 30% of the market. The value of AI lies not in the technology itself, but in whether every enterprise and every employee can apply it with confidence. HKPC will continue to play four roles—promoter, connector, implementer, and gatekeeper. Our goal is to make AI not just understandable and affordable, but also deployable, truly advancing AI for All and the realisation of new productive forces.”
Four-day Theme Week Launches in Parallel Seamless Linkage of Tech Showcases, Guided Tours and Hands-on Experiences
Running alongside the AI Summit, the “AI and Robotics Fest” launches in parallel. Through hands-on experiences, guided tours and live scenario demonstrations, it addresses SMEs’ pain points in AI adoption—providing end-to-end support spanning governance, technology and talent—to help companies move from trials to scaled implementations.
According to the “AI Readiness in Workplace Survey 2025” released earlier by the HKPC Academy, nearly 90% of surveyed employees already use AI tools in daily work, yet over half of organisations have not established unified platforms or clear strategies, with talent and internal training cited as major challenges. This Summit and theme week aim to bridge these critical gaps and drive deeper AI adoption among enterprises, especially SMEs.
The theme week covers four key pillars, providing comprehensive support from standards and governance to scenario validation:
- Standards and Governance: HKPC officially launches the “AI Governance and Safety Assessment Service” and shares practical strategies on AI standards and cross-border compliance, helping enterprises build trustworthy and auditable AI frameworks.
- Technology and Solutions: On-site showcases feature multiple AI and humanoid robotics solutions across scenarios such as voice interaction, reception, data capture and logistics operations, with applications spanning manufacturing, services and education.
- Talent and Capability: Through guided tours and technical briefings, enterprise teams can rapidly grasp key AI application insights, supporting change management and internal capability-building during AI implementation.
- Live Scenarios and Validation: Realistic demonstrations in manufacturing, logistics, F&B and urban services allow enterprises to validate AI benefits with low pilot costs, shortening the distance from concept to deployment.
To support enterprises’ digital transformation and the social popularisation of AI, HKPC is advancing the “AI for All” initiative through three approaches—internal practice, skills training and technology platforms; training more than 22,000 people in two years; self-developing and widely deploying the internal AI tool “AIM”; and integrating over 250 ready-to-deploy applications into the “D-Biz Easy” platform to enable more SMEs to pilot and replicate AI solutions at low cost.
The programme runs through 13 November. The schedule is as follows:
