The Cyberport Venture & Capital Forum 2026 officially opened on November 4 at Hong Kong Cyberport. The two-day event, themed "Scaling in a Changing World: Winning the Next Competitive Cycle", brought together more than 80 global venture capitalists, entrepreneurs and industry leaders.
The forum concluded on November 5 with more than 600 deal flows, over 2,800 attendees and more than 200,000 online views. It featured founder pitch sessions, investor matching, startup clinics and innovation showcases connecting international investors with high-growth technology enterprises.
“Digital Assets are redefining how value moves across the global economy. Hong Kong is not merely observing this transformation; we are actively leading and architecting it.”
Lillian Cheong, Acting Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry, opened the forum alongside Simon Chan, Chairman of Cyberport. Cheong said turning AI potential into sustainable growth requires investment, business expertise and market access.
Joseph Chan, Under Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, delivered a keynote at the Agentic Economy Summit. He said Hong Kong is actively leading and architecting the transformation of digital assets rather than merely observing it.
Dr Rocky Cheng, CEO of Cyberport, gave welcome remarks at the summit. The Blockchain and Digital Asset Pilot Subsidy Scheme launched last year saw more than half of its shortlisted projects successfully commercialised.
Cyberport also signed memoranda of understanding with Gobi Partners and Thailand's National Innovation Agency. The government commissioned Cyberport to launch Scheme 2.0 to foster collaboration on real-world asset tokenisation, blockchain and digital assets.
Cyberport's cumulative funding has surpassed HK$74.5 billion, welcoming 19 listed companies and two unicorns over the past year. Its Investors Network marked its ninth anniversary and facilitated over HK$6 billion in cumulative funding.
