AI 2030 Summit
Hong Kong 2027
Responsible AI goes on the global finance agenda.
On January 25, 2027, the eve of the Asian Financial Forum, AI 2030 convenes regulators, bankers, insurers, investors, builders and researchers in Hong Kong for one day on AI governance and the intelligent economy.
Five program blocks take the day from AI already at work in financial services, through the trust it demands and the physical AI frontier, to the geopolitics of governing it, closing on what gets funded next.
Why join AI 2030 Summit Hong Kong?
AFF brings Asia’s financial decision-makers to Hong Kong in a single week. Hosting the summit on the eve of the forum puts responsible AI on the global financial system’s agenda before the week begins.
Regulators, bankers, insurers and investors from across Asia are already in Hong Kong for the week.
Our focus on AI in financial services and responsible AI matches the forum’s finance community.
January 25 is the eve of AFF, so attendees and speakers can stay on to take part in the forum.
AFF is co-organised by the Hong Kong SAR Government and HKTDC, the city’s flagship finance event.
Hong Kong links Mainland China, Asia Pacific and global markets: the right setting for cross-border AI governance.
