HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 10 November 2025 - The Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC) today officially opened the "GBA International Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Summit 2025," themed "Empowering Resilient Industries through Embodied AI," bringing together top experts from the Chinese Mainland, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea and Hong Kong to explore the industrialisation of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics. Professor Dong SUN, JP, Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry, officiated as the Guest of Honor. Running alongside the summit, the week-long "AI and Robotics Fest" showcase real-world AI applications in manufacturing, retail, logistics and urban management, advancing AI for All and empowering 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.

BEIJING, Nov. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Following President Xi Jinping's visits to Hainan and Guangdong, CGTN published an article on China's strategic priorities of high-standard opening up to drive high-quality growth. The piece outlines how this national vision is advanced through the examples of Guangdong as a pacesetter, pioneer and pilot zone, and Hainan Free Trade Port as a hub for global opportunities. As China's 14th Five-Year Plan (FYP) covering the period 2021-2025 is nearing its end and the country prepares to unveil the blueprint for its 15th FYP, one message is clear: opening up remains at the heart of China's modernization drive. During recent trips to Hainan Province and Guangdong Province, two frontiers of reform and opening up, Chinese President Xi Jinping laid out his vision for high-standard opening up as the pathway to achieving high-quality development. Hainan: A gateway for a new era On December 18, the Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP) will officially launch island-wide special customs operations, a move Xi described as "a landmark of China's unwavering expansion of high-standard opening up and its contribution to an open world economy." When hearing a work report in Sanya City on the building of the Hainan FTP, Xi emphasized that the FTP supports both Hainan's high-quality growth and China's broader new development paradigm. He called for institutional opening up, more open talent systems, and administrative reform to build a market-oriented, law-based and internationalized business environment. Since 2018, Hainan has identified over 70,000 high-level professionals. It also issued more than 80 local laws and regulations to enhance its business environment. Its four pillar industries: tourism, modern services, high-tech and tropical agriculture, now account for nearly 70 percent of GDP. Hainan's opening up also benefits global trade. The new Yangpu–Chancay shipping route enables Hainan tilapia to reach South America faster and Peruvian avocados to enter China fresher and cheaper. Multi-functional free trade accounts (EF accounts) further facilitate cross-border settlements. According to Kuang Xianming, vice president of the China Institute for Reform and Development, the upcoming customs operation will also strengthen Hainan as a strategic hub for China–ASEAN cooperation. Guangdong: Pioneer and pacesetter of reform and opening up Choosing Guangdong Province for his first domestic inspection after the fourth plenary session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, Xi underscored Guangdong's role as a pacesetter, pioneer and pilot zone of reform and opening up, noting that the province should take the lead, set an example and play a major role in shaping the 15th FYP for national economic and social development. He called on the southern province to comprehensively deepen reform and opening up for high-quality development, and to advance the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) with sustained efforts. He also called on the province to develop new quality productive forces, strengthen the integration of technological and industrial innovation, and build a modern industrial system with international competitiveness. Guangdong's economic dynamism underscores this vision. In 2024, Guangdong's foreign trade reached 9.11 trillion yuan ($1.3 trillion), up 9.8 percent, contributing nearly 39 percent of China's overall trade growth. From January to September, 24,000 new foreign-funded enterprises were established, up 33.7 percent year on year, bringing the total to over 360,000, with more than $600 billion in utilized foreign capital. At the 2024 Global Investment Promotion Conference for Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, global giants such as BASF, ExxonMobil, Pfizer, Panasonic, Tesla and Procter & Gamble signed 1,933 projects worth 2.26 trillion yuan, underscoring the GBA's attractiveness to global investors. With the 15th FYP on the horizon, China is once again demonstrating that reform and opening up are not just policies of the past–they are the enduring engines of its future. https://news.cgtn.com/news/2025-11-08/How-China-s-high-standard-opening-up-fuels-high-quality-development-1I8yR1qlKG4/p.html
