Three Thematic Areas with Nearly 50 AI Solutions, Precisely Addressing Different Transformation Needs

1. AI for Manufacturing: Redefining Productivity in the AI Era
   AI is propelling manufacturing toward intelligent, data-driven production. Tailored for the manufacturing community, this theme features HKPC experts and industry leaders sharing AI application solutions and real-world experiences, exploring ways to boost productivity, quality and competitiveness. Highlights include industrial-grade AI platforms and embodied intelligence applications, smart warehousing, and upgrade opportunities and deployment strategies for AI in traditional manufacturing.
2. Innovating Public Services, Driving the AI Transformation 
   In support of the Government’s strategy to accelerate the digital transformation of public services, this theme targets Government departments, public and utilities organisations, as well as the healthcare and social welfare sectors. Through expert talks and real case studies, it will examine how AI can enhance operational efficiency and service quality, help public institutions overcome resource constraints, and identify safe and reliable AI solutions for real pain points.
3. FutureSkills: AI Training for ALL
   The latest Standard Chartered Hong Kong SME Leading Business Index shows that over half (51%) of SMEs seeking to fill vacancies expect applicants to have AI skills, reflecting that AI competency has become an important hiring criterion. The HKSAR Government has rolled out “AI for All” training strategies, and HKPC will fully support the effort by popularising AI awareness and applications among enterprises and the public, strengthening AI literacy, and nurturing AI talent. Designed for HR professionals, business leaders and educators, this theme offers interactive AI solution showcases to explore new human–AI collaborative workplace ecosystems, team transformation and talent development solutions, providing inspiring experiences for both first-time AI users and professionals already using AI tools.
