ForeSight 2026

Empowering Hong Kong’s Innovation Ecosystem, Bridging Opportunities with the 15th Five Year Plan

Since 2020, the ForeSight series has evolved into a premier platform that brings together policymakers, business leaders, and technology innovators to examine the year’s most pressing economic and technological trends. ForeSight 2026, themed “Empowering Hong Kong’s Innovation Ecosystem, Bridging Opportunities with the 15th Five Year Plan,” aligns closely with the national “15th Five-Year Plan”. It will examine how cross-border collaboration, talent development, and advanced technologies can establish Hong Kong as a global innovation hub and financial centre and support the nation’s modernisation and Digital China strategy. The event will highlight opportunities in the digital economy, foster high-quality growth in key sectors, and contribute to building a brighter future for Hong Kong in line with national priorities. 

It will be officiated by The Hon Paul CHAN, Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong SAR Government, and The Hon Sunny TAN, Chairman of Hong Kong Productivity Council, Member of Legislative Council, HKSAR. We are pleased to invite a representative from the State Information Center of the National Development and Reform Commission (發改委) as a keynote speaker to present on the core themes highlighted in the national “15th Five-Year Plan” recommendations. We are also pleased to welcome the Office for Attracting Strategic Enterprises (OASES) as our Strategic Partner. As a key driver in attracting global enterprises, OASES reinforces Hong Kong’s role as a leading innovation and business hub.

ForeSight Visionary Leaders Panel

In an era driven by technology and industrial transformation, innovation has become a key factor for enterprises to establish themselves in the market and move toward the future. This roundtable forum will take a dual approach — from both business practice and industry ecosystem perspectives — and invite industry leaders to share their valuable experiences in implementing strategic layouts and driving business development in Hong Kong. The Panel will focus on:


- Hong Kong’s unique advantages as an important platform connecting the mainland and international markets

- How to leverage policy support, talent resources and technological investment to promote a local innovation-driven economic system and foster an open, integrated and resilient innovation environment that helps enterprises identify new growth opportunities


This is a practical and high-value dialogue that is rooted in reality and focused on co-creating the future. We sincerely invite you to join us in capturing Hong Kong’s innovation pulse and exploring the limitless possibilities for business development.
