(Guanlan, Hong Kong) Prosperous events gather capital, Hong Kong demonstrates the vitality of an international financial center

Recently, Hong Kong Fintech Week and the Fifth International Financial Leaders Investment Summit were held in Hong Kong. Hundreds of people from the financial and technological circles around the world collided with ideas on topics such as new economic trends, regional investment and financing cooperation, and financial technology. The intensive presence of financial events in Hong Kong is not only the international community's recognition of Hong Kong's status as an international financial center, but also demonstrates Hong Kong's vitality in leading global capital flows and industrial cooperation.

The gathering of grand events is a "vote of confidence" for global capital in Hong Kong when facing an uncertain environment. The current pace of global economic recovery is slowing down, the cross-border investment landscape is reshaping, and the market is generally looking for a stable and open hub platform. The two financial events focused on core propositions such as global market transformation, new drivers of economic growth, cutting-edge financial technology, and investment in artificial intelligence, providing valuable "certainty" for global investors.

Zhang Hui, Vice Chairman and President of Bank of China, said that Hong Kong has a mature wealth management system and supporting policies, and has gathered a large amount of long-term patient capital suitable for industrial innovation and development. From family offices, private equity to cross-border investment and financing services, Hong Kong has formed a complete financial service chain. It is no longer limited to traditional transactions, but has created a complete ecosystem of capital discovery, pricing, investment and management to find long-term and reliable investment destinations for global funds.

Behind this grand event is Hong Kong’s determination and strength to promote the in-depth coupling of finance and technology innovation. Fintech Week has established a testing ground for cutting-edge technologies, where various innovative financial solutions are explored and implemented; the International Financial Leaders Investment Summit gathers global wisdom to discuss opening up new prospects in the global financial market.

Under this pattern, Hong Kong is not only a platform for fund transfer and listing financing, but also continues to develop a new cross-border track of "finance +". In an interview with a reporter from China News Service, Hong Kong European Business Association Chairman He Yau-han emphasized that Hong Kong’s core competitiveness lies in helping cross-border capital achieve free two-way flow: overseas capital can accurately deploy the artificial intelligence track in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and even Asia, and mainland Chinese capital can also go overseas from Hong Kong to invest in core AI (artificial intelligence) assets such as global data centers and computing infrastructure.

Based in the Asia-Pacific and looking at the world, Hong Kong is magnifying its leading role and anchoring a new beacon for financial development in the world. Just as the theme of this International Financial Leaders Investment Summit is "Thinking about changes and opening up new prospects," Hong Kong has proactively embraced the changes in capital forms in the digital era with a clear financial technology development layout. Under the guidance of the "Fintech 2030" vision announced by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, innovations in many fields such as data and payments, artificial intelligence, resilience and tokenization are constantly emerging. Hong Kong is embarking on a development path that is open, controllable, and innovative, providing a practical model for global financial reform.

The tide rises from the Xiangjiang River, and the wind comes from the east. Hong Kong continues to leverage the unique advantages conferred by "one country, two systems", adhere to its position as an international financial center, improve its financial ecosystem to carry global funds, and connect domestic and overseas opportunities as a two-way hub. As Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Lee Ka-chiu said, "If you believe that technology will define the future, if you believe that Asia will continue to lead global economic growth, and if you believe that China is transforming, then you will definitely believe that Hong Kong is playing a vital role."
