Industry professionals from around the world gained a deeper understanding of Hong Kong's R&D achievements.

Hon Sunny TAN, Chairman of Hong Kong Productivity Council stated, "HKPC has actively aligned with the international business community to assist Hong Kong and mainland enterprises in going global, achieving remarkable accomplishments. At Hannover Messe, we showcased a range of Hong Kong's cutting-edge technologies to the world and had an in-depth exchange with the international business community, highlighting Hong Kong's unique advantages in innovation and technology and bringing business cooperation opportunities ahead. As the core technology driving industry development, AI has become a global trend. We will further strengthen cooperation with our international partners and capitalise on global wisdom to help Hong Kong's economy keep booming."

The AI trend unleashes unlimited possibilities for industry
At Hannover Messe, by displaying exhibits and hosting seminars, HKPC explored how to reform the manufacturing process and improve efficiency through the wide applications of AI. With AI developing rapidly, the Chinese Mainland strongly supports the development of AI+ to achieve industry innovation driven by technology. HKPC has long been involved in the AI sector. The Hong Kong Industrial Artificial Intelligence & Robotics Centre (FLAIR), established by HKPC, unveiled "Hephaestus: Industrial Artificial Intelligence Application Platform" by leveraging cutting-edge algorithms, data analytics, and computing power through AIR@InnoHK, an R&D platform for AI and robotics. This AI-driven data management platform integrates functions such as data management, model training, reasoning and model cloud deployment to help Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in different industries develop AI technologies. This further highlights Hong Kong's innovation strengths in AI and demonstrates the potential for AI to empower industry.

Actively assisting enterprises in going global
As the world's largest industrial trade fair, this year's Hannover Messe brought together some 4,000 exhibitors from the digital and energy sectors, among others, showcasing solutions for production and energy supply for the future. During the event, HKPC organised a dedicated European study mission in partnership with the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce to help local companies keep abreast of the development trend of the world's cutting-edge technologies and to broaden international horizons. In collaboration with the Hong Kong Metals Manufacturers Association, Hong Kong's technological strengths and superb achievements in metal products were showcased to several key markets.

This month, HKPC will work with national-level research institutions to launch a one-stop service platform in Hong Kong to support enterprises to go global. By leveraging extensive research experience and close ties with world-class partners, HKPC will help enterprises tackle various challenges in international markets, establish a global presence and become more competitive by fully capitalising on Hong Kong's strengths.
