HKSTP leads European trade mission to expand technology partnerships
Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation led an industrial delegation to Germany and Austria to build commercial partnerships across artificial intelligence and smart city sectors
Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) recently orchestrated a trade mission led by eight Hong Kong Science Park companies to Germany and Austria from September 21st to 25th, 2026. Accompanied by the German Industry and Commerce (GIC) and ADVANTAGE AUSTRIA, alongside support from the Innovation, Technology and Industry Bureau, InvestHK and HKETO Berlin, the mission aimed at fostering technology partnerships in artificial intelligence (AI), new industrialization, and smart city initiatives.
The venture marked HKSTP's maiden mission to Germany, a leading AI market and enterprise technology hub.
The delegation delved into business matching, ecosystem exchange, and institutional engagement in Munich, Vienna, and Graz. Professor Sun Dong, Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry, held a speech at the Applied Artificial Intelligence Conference 2026 in Vienna, Austria. He engaged in a dialogue with the HKSTP delegation to discuss their innovative solutions, contributing to the mission's success.
The delegation traversed Munich, Vienna, and Graz, interacting with leading Austrian institutions such as Chamber of commerce and industry for Munich and upper Bavaria (IHK), Siemens AI Lab, and the European Union's prestigious Technical University of Munich (TUM). Discussions surrounded industrial AI, advanced manufacturing, technology translation, and cross-border collaboration.
Notable HKSTP-delegated innovations included GenAI-Powered Marketing platform MIA from Amber International Holding Limited, and Echronos AI Group's JovaAI platform. Echronos AI Group, a China-based innovator specializing in industrial-grade AI, leveraged HKSTP's ecosystem and Hong Kong's global connectivity to expand internationally, introducing its flagship JovaAI platform to European industry leaders.
Combining these engagements, HKSTP solidified its ties with Central Europe and unveiled new avenues for collaboration in AI, robotics, smart production, and commercialization between Hong Kong and Europe.
