When the Cyberport Venture Capital Forum (CVCF) returns on November 6-7, organisers expect not only strong fundraising momentum but also a renewed confidence in the future of tech investing. 

Themed “The Innovation-Venture Nexus: Igniting Transformative Success”, this year’s forum will place AI, Web3.0 and Digital Assets at the heart of a new growth story.

“AI-driven innovation is now leading global capital flow. This year’s CVCF aligns with these trends by providing a platform to connect high-potential AI, blockchain and digital assets companies in Cyberport with this substantial capital flow,” said Cyberport CEO Dr Rocky Cheng at a media briefing on October 28.
 

Cyberport CEO Dr Rocky Cheng says the forum connects high-potential AI, blockchain and digital asset start-ups with global capital and positions Hong Kong as a leader in tech-focused fundraising.

AI and Web3 drive momentum

The global VC market is recalibrating, with investors shifting attention from quantity to quality. While the number of deals has declined, there is increased interest in sectors such as AI, blockchain and digital assets.

Cyberport start-ups have collectively raised HK$46 billion in cumulative funding to date, including HK$3.4 billion in the past year (October 2024 to September 2025), according to data from Cyberport.
