On 11 April 2026, HKIIT was delighted to host the Hong Kong edition of the AI Agents World Tour, AgentCon Hong Kong 2026, at our Tsing Yi campus, welcoming 300 attendees from around the world. It was inspiring to bring together distinguished guests, partners, educators, and students for a day of meaningful exchange on AI agents and their real-world impact across industries.

In the welcome remarks, VTC Deputy Executive Director Ir Dr Eric Liu said that HKIIT is committed to cultivating next-generation tech talent by bridging theory and practice through events like AgentCon, which give students and the wider community hands-on exposure to real-world challenges and cutting-edge AI solutions.

We also extend our heartfelt thanks to the Global AI Community for bringing AgentCon to Hong Kong, with strong support from AvePoint, MaivenPoint, and Microsoft, as well as to our esteemed speakers joining from overseas and across Hong Kong.
