en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 4, 2026, the Shenzhen IoT Industry Association, in collaboration with the WAIA Alliance and the Hong Kong IoT Commerce Association, hosted the "Shenzhen Enterprises Set Sail · Hong Kong Sets Off" Shenzhen IoT Industry International Expansion Matchmaking Event in Hong Kong. The event aimed to promote the coordinated development of the digital economy and technological innovation in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, open cross-border cooperation channels for AIoT industry-academia-research-application between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and assist Shenzhen IoT enterprises in leveraging Hong Kong's international resources to expand into global markets.
The event selected 20 member enterprise leaders to form a delegation to Hong Kong. Through activities such as exhibition visits, research institution tours, and expert seminars, the delegation achieved deep connections in cutting-edge technology exchange, scientific research achievements transformation, and cross-border resource empowerment. This marks a landmark initiative for the regularized collaborative implementation of the Shenzhen-Hong Kong IoT industry.
On the morning of June 4, the delegation conducted an in-depth visit to the AI+Power 2026 Hong Kong Tech Expo held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. The expo, with the core theme of "Transformative Artificial Intelligence," focused on the deep integration of AI with smart energy and the Internet of Things. The organizers customized exclusive guided tour routes based on the business directions of the enterprises, targeting leading exhibitors in sub-sectors such as chip R&D, smart grids, industrial IoT, and energy storage IoT. This resulted in over ten one-on-one closed-door negotiations between Shenzhen enterprises and overseas manufacturers, forming preliminary cooperation intentions for product exports and technology introductions.
The delegation held special investment negotiations with Invest Hong Kong (InvestHK). Guo Yawen, Senior Vice President of Digital Technology and Data Infrastructure at InvestHK, introduced that as the official investment promotion agency of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, InvestHK has established investment promotion networks in over 30 key cities globally. It can provide mainland tech enterprises with a full-chain, one-stop free settlement service, including landing planning, government liaison, and brand promotion. In terms of industrial layout, Hong Kong focuses on tracks such as artificial intelligence, carbon neutrality, digital technology, industrial IoT, fintech, and cultural tourism consumption. Leveraging policy advantages such as low tax rates, talent support, and the Hetao Shenzhen-Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone, it provides a channel for Shenzhen IoT enterprises to set up R&D centers, regional headquarters, and expand international business in Hong Kong.
In the afternoon, the delegation visited two major research institutions: the Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute (ASTRI) and the Hong Kong Center for Intelligent Chips and Systems (ACCESS). The Hong Kong Center for Intelligent Chips and Systems, established by the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in collaboration with Stanford University and others, is a core platform of Asia's leading AI chip R&D alliance. It focuses on breaking through performance and energy efficiency bottlenecks of AI chips and can provide tech enterprises with industry-academia-research cooperation opportunities in chip design and technology R&D. During the visit, enterprise representatives closely observed cutting-edge AI chip laboratories and prototype products, focusing on topics such as AI chip design and Compute-In-Memory (CIM) technology to explore cooperation possibilities.
The Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute is the largest government-funded R&D center in Hong Kong, covering core IoT tracks such as smart cities, smart manufacturing, and fintech. It has a landing carrier in the Hetao Shenzhen-Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone. The delegation visited the institute's laboratories and core projects, held discussions with its research experts to understand the technology R&D layout and latest industrialization achievements, and conducted special exchanges on the "open competition" for IoT group standards and the phased progress of the Greater Bay Area standards.
Based on the construction of the Greater Bay Area, the integration of Shenzhen and Hong Kong's technological innovation is continuously advancing. The Shenzhen IoT Industry Association stated that it will deeply explore the resource endowments of the two cities, innovate cross-border industry matchmaking models, unblock bottlenecks in cross-border flows of technology, capital, and markets, assist Shenzhen IoT enterprises in expanding into global markets, and promote the high-quality development of the AIoT industry cluster in the Greater Bay Area.
