At the 2026 Hong Kong Innovation and Technology Conference held recently, the Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, Paul Chan, stated that the country attaches great importance to the development of "artificial intelligence+", and Hong Kong has unique advantages in the development of artificial intelligence, making it an ideal place for the development of artificial intelligence. Chen Maobo said that under the "One Country, Two Systems" policy, Hong Kong enjoys the advantage of free flow of capital, information, and talent, and is backed by a sound rule of law and comprehensive intellectual property protection. The Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area combines high-end manufacturing capabilities with cutting-edge innovation and technology capabilities. Hong Kong is adopting a "dual track parallel" strategy, on the one hand developing artificial intelligence into a strategic industry, and on the other hand using artificial intelligence as an important empowerment tool to promote the economy. The Lenovo Global Chief Information Officer (CIO) Report, jointly released by Lenovo Group and International Data Corporation (IDC), shows that investment in artificial intelligence continues to climb. 50% of the surveyed institutions in Hong Kong expect to take more than 12 months to achieve AI readiness; 47% of the surveyed companies in the Asia Pacific region are still in the stage of policy formulation and application that has not yet been implemented.
