CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
As Hong Kong’s digital tech hub and artificial intelligence (AI) accelerator, Cyberport is committed to supporting the Hong Kong SAR Government in building a leading innovation and technology (I&T) ecosystem, focusing on assisting community start-ups in emerging fields such as AI, blockchain, cybersecurity and data science. In addition, we continue to leverage Hong Kong’s unique role as a “super-connector” and “super value-adder” to actively cultivate start-ups, attract funds and investments, and enhance Hong Kong’s I&T ecosystem industries and overall development, and promote the integration of the new economy and the traditional economy, laying a solid foundation for future growth and prosperity.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT
Hong Kong is in the midst of a transformative period marked by rapid advances in innovation and technology (I&T). In 2024–25, Cyberport continued working tirelessly in support of the HKSAR Government’s initiatives to turn the city’s I&T sector into a key economic driver. Our community made progress in areas like AI, FinTech, GreenTech, EdTech, Smart Living, the low-altitude economy (LAE) and more, backed by Cyberport’s critical role as an incubator. The future for AI in Hong Kong is particularly bright following the launches of Cyberport’s AI Supercomputing Centre (AISC) and the Government-funded Artificial Intelligence Subsidy Scheme (AISS), both of which will play key roles in establishing the city as a new force for this game changing technology. Elsewhere, we continued to attract leading companies from around the world to establish operations on campus, further deepening and enhancing Hong Kong’s I&T ecosystem. The state-of-the-art Cyberport 5 expansion project was topped out at the end of 2024, bringing this important part of Hong Kong’s future I&T infrastructure one step closer to completion in 2025. Meanwhile, our talent development programmes continued to feed the pipeline of future I&T leaders.

Digital Innovation and Industry Transformation
Technology has become inseparable from the ways we live, work and play. Cyberport operates at the intersection of information and technology (I&T), entrepreneurship and economic development, incubating start-ups in AI, Data Science, FinTech, Blockchain, and Cybersecurity tech clusters across various industries related to FinTech, Smart City and Digital Entertainment, among others – fields that are shaping business, society and the future success of Hong Kong. In 2024-2025, we continued to support entrepreneurs in the Cyberport ecosystem – who, through innovation and a willingness to experiment in today’s rapidly changing digital world, are driving the development of the digital economy and technology in Hong Kong and globally.
The Digital Economy Summit 2024 featured keynote speeches and panel discussions by world-renowned experts from the innovation and technology sector, entrepreneurs, thought leaders, and policymakers. Michael Wong, Deputy Financial Secretary of Hong Kong SAR Government, delivered a speech at the “Smart Finance Forum”.
Cyberport’s annual flagship event, the “Digital Entertainment Leadership Forum 2024” kicked off with the theme “Imaginary Fairground: AI-Powered Entertainment in the Web 3.0 Era”.
AI Ecosystem and Empowerment in Industries
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a major engine for global economic growth, as Hong Kong’s digital tech hub and AI accelerator, Cyberport is committed to building a comprehensive AI ecosystem. As of March 2025, Cyberport housed over 400 start-ups and leading AI enterprises specialising in AI and big data. These companies are leveraging their substantial R&D capabilities in computing power development, large model building, algorithms, data science and more to promote the innovation and application of AI both locally and regionally. Many are also investing capital, technology and talent to develop international headquarters at Cyberport, leveraging Hong Kong as a springboard to go global and enable the internationalisation and commercialisation of their AI products and services.
Prof Sun Dong, Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry, and Dr Rocky Cheng, CEO of Cyberport, delivered speeches at the opening ceremony of the AISC and AI Lab.
At the forum, Cyberport, WDTA and IASTIC signed an MoU, under which the three parties will join hands to promote best practices in AI testing and evaluation, proactively nurture AI talents, and explore collaboration in the development of AI testing infrastructure.
Digital Economy and Market Expansion
The digital world is evolving at a rapid pace. As a key driver of Hong Kong’s digital innovation and technology ecosystem, riding on Hong Kong’s unique position as a “super-connector”, Cyberport is committed to promoting digital transformation across all sectors of Hong Kong, with particular emphasis on accelerating the growth of SMEs in their innovation capabilities, customer bases, and scales. In 2024/25, we actively served as a bridge connecting Chinese Mainland and international markets establishing strategic partnerships with like-minded partners both domestically and internationally, and expanding the Cyberport community. This will enable our start-ups to explore new territories, enter larger international markets and seize global opportunities. We will also continue to promote Hong Kong’s innovative strengths globally, driving a new round of economic growth.
CVCF 2024 brought together over 90 globally influential venture experts, entrepreneurial visionaries and innovative thinkers. They analysed how emerging technologies, AI and Web3.0 trends are opening markets and fostering collaboration to drive innovative thinking.

Entrepreneurship and Talent Cultivation
One of Cyberport’s most important roles is ensuring that Hong Kong has a robust pipeline of talent to fuel the future development of its I&T industry. In 2024–2025, we continued and expanded our efforts in youth outreach and education, professional upskilling, career development, and entrepreneurship, nurturing tech talent with the training, experience and funding they need to succeed. These initiatives are more important than ever in a world being increasingly driven by the emerging technologies of AI.
HKSAR Government has allocated $50 million to Cyberport to expedite the development of the Web3.0 ecosystem. This initiative will help the industry and enterprises stay at the forefront of innovation, promote cross-sectoral business cooperation, and provide training opportunities for young people. Daniel Cheung, JP, Deputy Commissioner (Digital Infrastructure) of the Digital Policy Office and Simon Chan, Chairman of Cyberport, delivered speeches at the closing ceremony for the inaugural “Cyberport Web3.0 Internship Programme 2024”.
Themed “Unveiling AI Career Opportunities”, the Cyberport Career Fair 2025 highlighted the emerging workplace opportunities brought by AI. The event received an enthusiastic response, attracting over 580 companies and organisations, offering over 2,000 job vacancies.
ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) leadership remains central to Cyberport’s long-term strategy as Hong Kong’s leading technology hub. It is deeply embedded in our missions to drive digital innovation, entrepreneurship and community development.
As we navigate global shifts in climate action, technological advancement and responsible governance, Cyberport continues to evolve its ESG approach to remain at the forefront of sustainable innovation. Our commitment extends beyond compliance; we aim to actively shape a greener, more inclusive and resilient future for Hong Kong and the broader Greater Bay Area (GBA).
