On Monday, the 2024 Greater Bay Area and Yangtze River Delta AI Industry Collaboration Forum was successfully held in Hong Kong with the theme “Open Innovation and Regional Collaboration to Drive AI Industry Integration and Development.” The forum gathered over 100 representatives, including tech experts, industry leaders, and policymakers from the Greater Bay Area and Yangtze River Delta, to discuss key topics such as artificial intelligence, chip ecosystems, digital currencies, and smart cities.
The forum featured keynote speeches on subjects like open urban communities, AI development, building AI talent ecosystems, interdisciplinary innovation, and the application of intelligent sensors in the AI era. Additionally, a discussion session enabled participants to delve into themes such as “Global Competition and Regional Collaboration in Chip Ecosystems,” “Digital Currency and Financial Regionalization: Exploring Currency Bridging Mechanisms for Cross-Border Trade,” “Smart Cities and Regional Development: Integrating Edge Computing and the Low-Altitude Economy,” and “AI Talent and Education.” Attendees discussed how policy guidance, capital support, and international cooperation can unlock the full potential of technological innovation, expedite technology commercialization, and boost collaborative innovation across regional and global tech ecosystems.
A signing ceremony for the “Strategic Cooperation Memorandum” took place at the event, formalizing a partnership between the Luohu District People’s Government of Shenzhen, the Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute Company Limited, and Open City Community Laboratory Limited. The three parties will collaborate on AI technology and big data applications, aiming to accelerate AI industry development in the region.
As a pioneering hub of reform and opening-up and a strategic link between Guangdong and Hong Kong, Luohu District is actively promoting tech innovation and industrial growth, focusing on strategic emerging sectors like artificial intelligence and life sciences, as well as forward-looking industries like low-altitude aerospace and cellular and genetic technology. Luohu is committed to building an AI ecosystem with a comprehensive industry chain, promoting AI’s deep integration with service sectors.
Furthermore, Luohu is coordinating with Hong Kong’s Shaling area to establish a data center and is planning a new Shenzhen-Hong Kong cross-border industrial park near Hong Kong’s Luofang Water Quality Purification Plant. This initiative aims to foster complementary development between the Shaling International Data Industrial Park in Hong Kong’s northern metropolis and Luohu’s AI industry strategy.
Shanghai, as the core of the Yangtze River Delta, is also advancing efforts to become a globally influential tech innovation center, accelerating technology commercialization, and promoting the integration of foundational and applied research for industrial upgrades.
The forum provided a new platform for AI industry collaboration between the Greater Bay Area and the Yangtze River Delta and explored new models of cross-regional and cross-sector cooperation, injecting fresh momentum into regional technology innovation and industry development.
