The Cyberport Venture & Capital Forum 2026, held in Hong Kong, assembles investors, innovators, and policymakers from across the globe to discuss the future of venture capital in an era of rapid technological change.

Leading AI-focused companies, such as Qupital, Premialab, and Finloop, have attracted significant investments, securing millions of dollars in funding rounds.
At the forum's inaugural theme, "Scaling in a Changing World: Winning the Next Competitive Cycle," participants explore how AI, Web3, tokenisation, and cross-border capital flows are reshaping the global economy. The two-day event will cover venture capital, innovation ecosystems, AI investment, and the emerging "Agentic Economy," highlighting the potential of agentic AI to revolutionise business operations and financial services.
Qupital, a cross-border fintech platform, plans to leverage its strategic partnerships forged at CVCF 2026 to expand globally, starting with the United States due to its advanced AI ecosystem and massive e-commerce market. Premialab, another start-up that has expanded from Hong Kong to international financial hubs, sees the forum as a valuable platform for attracting top-tier talent, forging connections with investors, and driving joint research and development with academic institutions.
The forum's two-day program includes sessions on venture capital, innovation ecosystems, AI investment, and the Agentic Economy, providing a comprehensive platform for capital and innovation to converge and drive global growth.
