Hong Kong's definitive executive AI programme for business leaders, board directors, and senior managers who need to make consequential decisions about artificial intelligence — without becoming data scientists.
Most AI education pulls in one of two directions — engineering curricula that leave executives on the sidelines, or high-altitude frameworks with no operational substance. Neither serves Hong Kong's senior leaders.
You will leave able to evaluate AI proposals, set governance guardrails, question your technology teams, and hold vendors accountable — without writing a single line of code.
Every case study, regulation, and use case is drawn from the HK business environment. HKMA, SFC, PDPO, and the Technology Voucher Programme are all covered in depth.
Gary Dushnitsky (LBS) and Robyn Klingler-Vidra (KCL) bring frameworks from the most cited research in AI strategy, corporate venturing, and East Asian governance.
Six to eight participants, face-to-face. This is a working group for people serious about AI leadership — not a lecture series or a webinar replay.
Qualifying SMEs may access Hong Kong's Technology Voucher Programme to subsidise participation. Our team can advise on application.
The Technical Track uses only Windows-native, China and HK-compliant technology — Alibaba Cloud, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, NanoClaw. No US-restricted tools, ever.
The Core Track is mandatory for all participants and delivers 12 CPD hours across three half-days. Add elective tracks in any combination to build the depth your role requires.
