During the visit, Mr Yan also met with several enterprises specialising in AI and data science. Mr Yan briefed the representatives of the enterprises on the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government’s policy support, research capabilities, and international platform advantages in these fields. Mr Yan was invited to visit an autonomous driving technology company that had previously engaged with OASES in Hong Kong. The company focuses on the development of high-level autonomous driving (Level 4) technologies and has delivered over 10 000 unmanned urban delivery vehicles across nine countries, serving approximately 300 cities worldwide. The company’s founder shared plans for overseas market expansion, and Mr Yan invited the company to consider establishing its international headquarters in Hong Kong, leveraging the city’s unique strengths as a global financial and R&D centre to accelerate international growth. Mr Yan also visited the company’s deployment site at the Mentougou District Post Office in Beijing, where he observed the practical application of unmanned urban delivery vehicles in postal logistics. Representatives of the post office explained how the technology has helped enhance mail delivering efficiency and reduce infrastructure costs, demonstrating the potential of innovative technologies in public service delivery.
Mr Yan also visited the technology innovation centre of one of the world’s largest telecommunications tower infrastructure service providers. The company’s representative showcased their self-developed “BeiDou + indoor distribution” technology for indoor positioning applications, and shared how their digital infrastructure solutions are supporting the development of the low-altitude economy across cities on the Chinese Mainland. Mr Yan encouraged the company to actively participate in Hong Kong’s digital infrastructure initiatives, expressing hope that its technologies and experience could contribute to the accelerated development of the Northern Metropolis and promote the growth of the low-altitude economy in the city.
Later, Mr Yan visited a local provider of AI infrastructure and intelligent computing cloud services. He was briefed on the company’s technologies for allocating computing resources within AI data centres and its solutions for reducing user costs. Mr Yan held intensive discussions with the company’s founder on the market prospects of an AI data centre and how such technologies could support the development of Hong Kong’s AI industry.
