Brussels ETO promotes Hong Kong's I&T sector with InvestHK at NEXUS Luxembourg 2026

The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Brussels (Brussels ETO), participated in the NEXUS Luxembourg 2026 from June 10 to 11 (Luxembourg time) to showcase Hong Kong's vibrant innovation ecosystem in promoting the development of AI and technology. The promotion was carried out in collaboration with Invest Hong Kong (InvestHK).

Ms Shirley Yung, the Special Representative for Hong Kong Economic and Trade Affairs to the European Union, delivered a presentation at the event to introduce Hong Kong's dynamic innovation ecosystem, highlighting its unique strengths as a place for world-class research and talent, a global financial and fundraising hub, and a trusted international business environment.

She also mentioned the various recent Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government policies that are conducive to the development of AI and technology, such as the AI+ strategy and the Finance+ strategy. "The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government has positioned AI as a focus of our I&T strategy, developing it as a core industry while also harnessing its potential as a powerful enabler to upgrade traditional sectors," she remarked. She also emphasised the huge potential of the innovation cluster in the Guangzhou-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Nexus Luxembourg is Europe's leading AI and technology summit. The 2026 edition attracted approximately 10 000 attendees, featured 150 speakers, and over 250 startups from more than 50 countries.

Major Sports Events Committee awards "M" Mark status to four events

The following is issued on behalf of the Major Sports Events Committee:

The Major Sports Events Committee (MSEC) has awarded "M" Mark status to the FIDE World Team Rapid and Blitz Chess Championships 2026 (June 17 to 21), the 2026 Sun Life Hong Kong International Dragon Boat Races (June 27 and 28), the Volleyball Nations League Hong Kong 2026 presented by China Life (Overseas) (July 8 to 12) and the Kerry Fencing World Championships 2026 Hong Kong, China (July 22 to 30).

The Chairman of the MSEC, Mr Wilfred Ng, said today (June 15), "We are very pleased to award the 'M' Mark status to these four distinct events. The chess championships and dragon boat races held in June represent a perfect blend of stillness and motion - one featuring a deep sense of intellectual competition, and the other showcasing rich traditional Chinese culture and team spirit. In July, top-tier women's national volleyball teams from around the world will once again engage in fierce battles at the Kai Tak Arena, and the first-ever Fencing World Championships will also be held in Hong Kong. The public and tourists will be able to witness the peak showdowns of world-class athletes up close. These four events will not only bring a diverse spectating experience to the public and visitors, but also fully demonstrate Hong Kong's unique charm and capability as a centre for major international sports events."

The "M" Mark System aims to encourage and help local National Sports Associations and private or non-government organisations to organise more major international sports events and nurture them into sustainable undertakings. Sports events meeting the assessment criteria will be considered for "M" Mark status by the MSEC. Funding support will also be provided to some events. The "M" Mark System aims to promote the development of major sports events, cultivate a sustainable sporting culture, enhance Hong Kong's image as a centre for major international sports events and bring tangible economic benefits to the community.
