Hong Kong is set to host its first-ever edition of an innovation conference under the Boao Forum for Asia, with some 800 global elites expected to discuss how to leverage the SAR's strengths to foster technological cooperation.
The International Science, Technology and Innovation Forum, which has previously been held in Macau, Guangzhou and Zhuhai, will take place at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on June 6 and 7.
Themed "Transitioning Towards the Future: Powered by Science, Technology & Innovation", the forum is co-hosted by the SAR government and the Boao Forum for Asia.
Key speakers will include secretary general of the Boao Forum for Asia Zhang Jun, a former prime minister of Finland, a former deputy prime minister of Thailand, as well as business executives and scholars from the mainland, the US and Vietnam.
A forum focusing on Hong Kong will also be held on June 7 to promote collaboration on global I&T development between the government, industry, academia and investors.

HK to include renminbi counters in Southbound Connect
HK to include renminbi counters in Southbound Connect Finance chief Paul Chan says the city will accelerate the inclusion of renminbi counters in the city's Southbound Stock Connect scheme.

Photo: RTHK Kenneth Hui, executive director (external) of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), says the use of renminbi has increased rapidly in recent years thanks to the rising cross-border trade. Photo: RTHK Financial Secretary Paul Chan on Friday reiterated that Hong Kong is speeding up the inclusion of renminbi counters in the Southbound Stock Connect programme as part of efforts to attract more renminbi funds while pushing ahead the internationalisation of the currency. The remarks came in a keynote speech Chan delivered at the Bank of China RMB Internationalisation Forum 2025, where he noted that such developments are not aimed at challenging the status of other international currencies. "The internationalisation of the renminbi has never been aimed at challenging or replacing the status of other currencies. Therefore, it is unnecessary for some people to view it with a zero-sum game mindset," he told participants. "Hong Kong is a testing ground for the country's high-level financial opening-up, the city also serves as a firewall," he said. The finance chief said the city will make good use of its unique advantages linking domestic markets with the world to seize on the opportunities brought by economic and trade cooperation between the country and Asean, the Middle East and the Belt and Road countries. The SAR government, he added, will also continue to promote the internationalisation of the renminbi by increasing the liquidity of offshore renminbi, increasing the issuance of renminbi bonds, speeding up the inclusion of renminbi counters in the Southbound Connect under the Stock Connect programmes, as well as improving connectivity with the mainland's rapid payment system to facilitate capital flows. Echoing Chan, Sun Yu, vice chairman and chief executive of Bank of China (Hong Kong), noted that the SAR is gradually transitioning from an offshore renminbi payment centre to a renminbi financing hub, due to surging interest. "The variety of renminbi products in Hong Kong is gradually increasing, and the related financial infrastructure and supporting facilities are also becoming more and more developed," Sun said. "This has attracted more international investors, numerous multilateral institutions, and non-bank financial institutions to express their interest and allocation needs for renminbi assets. It also reflects that Hong Kong is evolving from an offshore renminbi payment centre into a renminbi financing centre, investment centre, as well as risk management centre." Sun also said that as global financial markets have become more volatile in recent times, Hong Kong can play a significant role to help fend off financial risks by leveraging its mature financial markets as well as regulatory strengths. Separately, Kenneth Hui, executive director (external) of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, noted that renminbi bonds issued in the SAR exceeded 1 trillion yuan last year, which was more than the overall deposits in the city. He added that the use of the renminbi has increased rapidly in recent years thanks to rising cross-border trade, and that the proportion of renminbi used in the mainland's global trade has doubled over the past three years to 30 percent, as the renminbi trade settlement processed by banks in the SAR increased to 15 trillion yuan last year from 7 trillion in 2021.

Youths 'can bridge AI gap between Global South, North'
Youths 'can bridge AI gap between Global South, North' Boao Forum for Asia secretary general Zhang Jun, right, says artificial intelligence development gaps will fuel further digital divisions. Photo: RTHK Participants at the forum at the Convention and Exhibition Centre said access and skills for youths and young entrepreneurs posed challenges for their economies. Photo: RTHK Boao Forum for Asia secretary general Zhang Jun said on Friday youths play a key role in bridging the artificial intelligence development gap between the Global South and Global North. He made the remarks as the International Science, Technology and Innovation Forum of the Boao Forum made its debut in Hong Kong, with previous editions held in Macau, Zhuhai and Guangzhou. Speaking at a roundtable session, Zhang, who served as a permanent representative of China to the United Nations, said the digital divide, which includes AI development gaps, will further weigh on global fragmentation. He called on youths to help forge global collaboration to tackle such challenges. "Youths have a key role... in really trust-building, partnership-building, which is also badly needed in today's world, because we are more divided than [at any time] after the end of the Second World War. "And we are living in a world which is becoming very much dangerous because of the failure of the international governance system, including the United Nations," Zhang said. Many of the forum's participants pointed out challenges encountered during their countries' own digital transformation, especially with access and skills for youths and young entrepreneurs. Many said it's essential to ramp up digital literacy training and partnerships between nations. Mimala Chanthasone, an official of the Institute of Foreign Affairs in Laos, cited the China-Laos AI Innovation Cooperation Centre as an example. Launched in February, she said the centre marks the first China-Asean AI innovation cooperation. Conrad Ho, a member of the Youth Development Commission, called for more efforts to be made to address the employability gap created by the emergence of AI technology. "The post-AI world presents many challenges and also opportunities, including how youth might gain more senior-level skills as AI reduces the demand for entry-level and middle-management roles," he said. "I think as AI unlocks more capacity, we're going to transition from [having more] large corporations to smaller ventures, one-person teams, smaller teams that can still create very massive value. "And yet for all these companies, for them to be successful, the founders still need to have the critical hard and soft skills that they need to learn." The two-day innovation forum ends on Saturday.

Hong Kong stocks open flat following Xi-Trump talks
Hong Kong stocks open flat following Xi-Trump talks Analysts say market reaction has been muted following a phone conversation between President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump. File photo: RTHK Hong Kong and mainland stock markets opened flat on Friday, as a call between Beijing and Washington offered little clarity to ease ongoing trade tensions. The SAR's benchmark Hang Seng Index rose 34.6 points, or 0.14 percent, to open at 23,941, while the blue-chip CSI300 Index on the mainland edged down 0.1 percent. President Xi Jinping and his US counterpart Donald Trump confronted weeks of brewing trade tensions and a battle over critical minerals in a leader-to-leader call on Thursday, leaving key issues unresolved for future talks. "Market reaction is low key as the discussion between the two leaders lacked real details outside of agreeing to new rounds of tariff talks," UBS analysts said in a note. "With no clear signs the call will cool trade tensions, headline risk remains top of mind amid the ongoing tariff rifts." Chinese tech ADRs were muted after the call, up only 0.85 percent overnight in New York session. (Reuters/Xinhua)
