Young trailblazers from 15+ countries kicked off an eye-opening journey in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region this week, blending tech exploration with cultural immersion. 🚀 The delegation toured cutting-edge facilities like HKUST’s Entrepreneurship Centre – where robots greet visitors 🤖 – and the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited, learning how the city fuels global finance.
💡 'I never realized how Hong Kong bridges East and West in tech,' said Maria, 24, from Brazil, after visiting a State Key Laboratory developing AI solutions. The group also discussed the Greater Bay Area’s rise as a 'Silicon Valley of Asia,' with plans to visit Shenzhen’s startup zones next.
Cultural highlights? Think neon-lit street markets 🏮 and Cantonese opera workshops. 'It’s like Blade Runner meets tradition,' laughed Kenyan delegate Kwame. Stay tuned as these digital nomads head to Dongguan’s smart factories next week! 👀
