Where Agentic AI Reshapes Business and Digital Assets Redefine How Value Moves
About
As Hong Kong’s tokenisation market moves towards institutional adoption, progress will depend on connecting regulatory initiatives, financial infrastructure, viable use cases and technology capabilities. This session will explore how HKMA’s and Cyberport’s initiatives and ecosystem support are helping financial institutions and innovators validate real-world applications and progress towards commercial deployment.
About
As stablecoins gain momentum globally as a new layer of digital money, stablecoins emerged as a way to enable faster, more efficient cross-border movement of value and connect traditional finance with on-chain markets. Experts will discuss the opportunities from an issuer perspective, including the broader factors that could support adoption and scale across markets. It will also discuss how distributors and other ecosystem participants can help broaden access, develop new applications and build the connections needed to translate stablecoin innovation into real-world economic value.
About
Agentic AI is reshaping how companies build, operate and scale, but sustainable value starts with focused applications rather than broad deployment. This session will explore how the Minimum Viable Prediction approach can help companies identify high-value AI use cases, validate measurable commercial impact and progressively embed agents into core workflows. It will offer a practical pathway from experimentation to scalable, AI-powered operations.
About
AI is lowering the barriers to entrepreneurship and giving rise to a new generation of One-Person Companies in China. This session will examine how solo founders from diverse professional backgrounds are turning industry expertise, user insight and commercial judgement into scalable products and businesses. It will explore how OPC founders use AI as a digital workforce, what distinguishes the model from traditional freelancing, and what China’s emerging OPC ecosystem reveals about the future of AI-native entrepreneurship.
About
As AI dramatically lowers the cost and time required to execute ideas, access to powerful tools is becoming less of a differentiator. Experts will explore the distinctly human qualities that create lasting advantage in the emerging OPC economy—from purpose and independent judgement to creativity, conviction and sustained action. It will examine how individuals can move beyond simply doing more with AI to developing the perspective and decision-making edge that makes their work distinctive.
About
As AI agents move from assisting people to taking actions within enterprise workflows, organisations must determine where autonomy creates value and where human control remains essential. Experts will discuss how enterprises identify suitable workflows for agentic automation, define decision rights and escalation points, and integrate agents safely into existing systems. Speakers will discuss the guardrails, monitoring and human-in-the-loop mechanisms needed to balance speed and efficiency with security, reliability and accountability.
About
The rise of agentic AI is creating new demands for talent development, technology access, funding and market opportunities. This panel will bring together representatives from universities, venture capital, technology platforms and regional agentic AI communities to explore how different ecosystem players can collaborate to support a new generation of founders.
About
As assets and money become increasingly tokenised, blockchain is evolving beyond digital-asset infrastructure into a programmable foundation for the Agentic Economy. This session will explore how digital identity, tokenised assets, stablecoins and programmable money can converge on-chain, enabling people, businesses and AI agents to establish ownership, transact and exchange value with greater automation and trust. It will examine how these building blocks could reshape financial infrastructure and create new models of digital commerce.
About
As AI agents evolve from digital assistants into autonomous economic participants, they will need trusted infrastructure to hold permissions, access services and exchange value. This session will explore how blockchain can provide the programmable rails for agent-controlled wallets, stablecoin payments, micropayments and autonomous on-chain transactions. It will examine how machine-to-machine economic activity could unlock new digital-asset use cases and extend blockchain adoption beyond human-initiated transactions.
About
As personal AI agents become persistent, always-on companions, blockchain can provide the identity, ownership and provenance layers that allow individuals to retain control over their agents, data and digital assets. Experts will discuss how personal agents can move beyond productivity to access on-chain services, manage digital ownership and support everyday activities across work, commerce and entertainment. Speakers will also examine how simpler interfaces, interoperability and user-centric design can make agent-powered, on-chain experiences accessible to a broader audience.
About
Tokenisation is moving beyond isolated pilots towards regulated products and institution-ready markets, raising a new challenge: how to connect the full lifecycle of a tokenised asset. This session will discuss how asset managers, financial institutions, market infrastructure providers and blockchain networks can link issuance, distribution, custody, liquidity and settlement across traditional and digital systems. Speakers will examine the interoperability, standards and market infrastructure needed to move tokenisation from individual use cases towards efficient, connected markets at institutional scale.
About
Global businesses increasingly need to collect, hold, convert and settle funds across currencies, jurisdictions and payment systems—often through fragmented infrastructure. This session will explore how banks, payment networks, stablecoin issuers and fintech platforms are connecting traditional and digital rails to create faster, more flexible and more programmable commercial flows. Speakers will examine where stablecoins and tokenised money can complement existing payment infrastructure and what is needed to deliver seamless cross-border movement of value at scale.
About
As AI agents increasingly act on behalf of individuals and organisations, trust will depend not only on identifying who is behind an agent, but also on proving what that agent is authorised to do. This session will explore how reusable digital identities, verifiable credentials and privacy-preserving technologies can establish identity, delegated authority and accountability on-chain while reducing repeated KYC friction. Speakers will examine how permissions can be verified and governed across platforms, and what interoperability, data ownership and common standards are needed to enable trusted agent-to-person, agent-to-business and agent-to-agent interactions across institutions and jurisdictions.
