The World Internet Conference Asia Pacific Summit is being held in Hong Kong for the first time, bringing together nearly one thousand political, business and academic leaders from over 50 countries and regions. Under the theme "Intelligent Convergence, Shaping Tomorrow, Collaborating to Build a Shared Cyberspace Community", the summit features an opening ceremony and main forum and three focused sessions on AI large models, digital finance and smart governance. The goal is to foster a dialogue on emerging technologies, boost regional digital cooperation, and drive new growth engines across the Asia Pacific. The summit also includes a government business dialogue, the 2025 global Internet conference award presentations, and workshops on AI governance, cyber security and sustainability.

Zhang Donggang, Party Secretary of Renmin University of China said, "Hosting the Asia Pacific Summit in Hong Kong presents unparalleled opportunities for the city's future, particularly in advancing the digital economy that fosters a global community of shared destiny. The synergy between the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong in technological innovation operates like interlocking gears, precise, coordinated and mutually reinforcing. Hong Kong's global connectivity positions it as a vital hub for advancing digital civilization and co-creating a shared cyberspace future."
