1. Anina Ho: How AI Gives Investment Decisions a Game-Changing Edge
Anina Ho, Founder of an AI-powered family office intelligence platform that enhances investment decision-making, pointed out the core value of AI in the investment field: "The future edge in investing lies not in having more information, but in having deeper and earlier insights." She emphasized that AI is no longer simply integrating information, but mining the trends behind data through technology to provide "first-mover advantage" for investment decisions.

Gracy Chen, the Female CEO of a leading cryptocurrency exchange driving the mainstream adoption of Web3, focused on the new growth direction of Web3: "The next wave of Web3 growth will come from experiences so seamless that a billion users won’t even realize blockchain is behind them."

Jayne Chan, a government leader fostering Hong Kong’s innovation ecosystem and serving as a key connector between global startups and capital, elaborated on Hong Kong's unique value: "Hong Kong’s unique value lies in offering a global stage where bold technological ideas can be tested with managed risk."

In the focused discussion session, the host put forward a core question: "In one sentence, what is the most undervalued investment opportunity in your respective fields — AI or Web3?"
Guests expressed their opinions freely: some mentioned "in-depth application scenarios of AI + vertical industries", while others were optimistic about "the lightweight integration of Web3 and the real economy". Countless market opportunities waiting to be explored were hidden in these concise dialogues.
Subsequently, the organizer thanked the three guests and summarized three core takeaways: "Intelligent Insights", "Mainstream Applications" and "Global Collaboration", bringing this feast of ideas to a successful conclusion.
