Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission Chief Executive Officer: Hong Kong opens its doors to AI hard technology companies "Whether profitable or not, we welcome them all."

At the 2026 Lujiazui Forum, the Chief Executive Officer of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission, Leung Fung-yee, stated in an interview with First Financial Daily reporters that the AI boom is sweeping the globe, and Hong Kong is fully embracing this trend, welcoming AI companies and high-end technology companies to list in Hong Kong. She particularly pointed out that for companies interested in synchronously positioning themselves in the A-share market, there are no policy obstacles in choosing either "A first then H" or "H first then A", which is highly encouraged by Hong Kong. She emphasized that even if companies have not yet made a profit, as long as they meet the eligibility requirements of Chapter 18C or 18A, Hong Kong will still welcome them with open arms. "Technology drives finance, and finance supports technology" this is the core expression of her positioning of the Hong Kong market.
