Mr. Chan Ho-lim, Under Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Hong Kong: “Last year’s SmartCon in Barcelona was a great opportunity to showcase to a global audience Hong Kong’s clear regulatory framework for virtual assets. Our commitment to establishing Hong Kong as a major Web3 hub in Asia was well received and enthusiastically received by attendees. We are very pleased that Chainlink has recognized this potential and chosen to bring SmartCon 2024 to our vibrant city. This SmartCon is not only a gathering of the brightest minds in blockchain technology, but also a testament to our ongoing efforts to invite and support industry leaders and innovators to work together to shape the future of a comprehensive and resilient financial ecosystem.”
Mr. John Leung, Global Head of Financial Services and Fintech, Invest Hong Kong: “One of Chainlink’s most significant milestones in 2023 was the collaboration with financial institutions such as Swift, demonstrating how traditional financial entities can leverage the latest Chainlink technology to transact with public and private blockchains. These breakthroughs were showcased at Chainlink’s flagship conference, SmartCon 2023. As Hong Kong accelerates the adoption of Web3 and digital assets, such as tokenizing real-world assets, we are seeing strong momentum from leaders in the banking, asset management, and wealth management sectors to further expand and upgrade related business activities. Hong Kong’s strategic move to become a hub for Web3 and digital assets aligns perfectly with Chainlink’s vision. We are delighted to welcome SmartCon 2024 to Hong Kong and work together to bring together traditional finance and Web3 to promote a more vibrant real-world economy.”
Mr. Wong Cheuk-Hung, General Manager of Convention, Exhibition and Cruise Business of the Hong Kong Tourism Board: "Bringing SmartCon 2024 to Hong Kong is another successful move for Hong Kong as an international financial and innovation and technology center. The Hong Kong Tourism Board is excited about the success of the collaboration with InvestHK to make Hong Kong the first stop in Asia for Chainlink's flagship conference SmartCon. Hosting this event in Hong Kong, the heart of Asia, not only allows global investors, leaders, policymakers, and startups in the blockchain and Web3 community to capture business opportunities in the region in this strategic location, but also this event is an excellent platform to showcase Hong Kong as a premier destination for diverse experiences."
