About HKAIIA
HKAIIA is not a think tank. It is a working association — founded by 19 Hong Kong companies with over US$23 billion in combined market capitalisation, including 8 HKEX Main Board listed firms — built to turn practical AI from pilots into production across Hong Kong’s industries.

Chairman’s Message
“It is an honour to follow in the footsteps of our late Founding Chairman, Professor KB Chan, whose vision and leadership laid the foundation of the Hong Kong Artificial Intelligence Industries Association. We remain grateful for his contribution and inspired by his commitment to advancing AI in Hong Kong.
Looking forward, my focus as Chairman is to strengthen the role of HKAIIA as a bridge between business, technology, and society. Artificial intelligence is reshaping industries at an unprecedented pace — redefining how we work, create, and compete.
Under my leadership, we will build an association that not only promotes innovation but also delivers practical support to companies and industries of all sizes. By fostering collaboration across sectors, nurturing talent, and supporting adoption, we will help ensure Hong Kong thrives in the AI-driven economy.”
