GCSx Hong Kong was held against the backdrop of APEC 2026, a year when openness, innovation and collaboration are front and center across the region. Hong Kong is the city built for exactly that: a two-way gateway where Chinese innovation heads out to the world, and the world finds its way into the Greater Bay Area.
Theme: Cross-border collaboration and innovation
