I. Practical Agenda: From Vision Setting to Demo Showdown

The event will be opened by Cai Wensheng, founder of Longling Capital , and Kong Jianping, founder of Nano Labs . They will analyze Hong Kong's unique advantages as a Web 4.0 testing ground from a macro perspective and discuss how Chinese builders can seize the initiative in the AI Agent wave by going global with their technology.

Following closely behind, Wang Bin, Dean of the Kundongli Research Institute , and Yang Ge, Incubation Partner of CICADA, along with other heavyweight guests, will deliver in-depth presentations. This is not only a breakdown of cutting-edge technology protocols, but also a collective strategic prediction of the "AI-driven economic system" for the next decade.

During the individual use case demonstration session, several industry veterans will present real-world application scenarios of AI Agents: from autonomous, security-supporting intelligent agents to productivity tools driving complex workflows; from AI decision-making systems in quantitative trading to proof-of-concept enterprise-level intelligent agents. These cases all point to a trend—AI Agents are moving from concept to industrial implementation, reshaping the operational logic of different industries.

II. The Ultimate Showdown: The Practical Breakthrough of Demo Day and the Allure of Capital

The soul of this Hong Kong event lay in the Demo Day, which garnered global attention. In the context of Web 4.0, the demo was no longer merely a demonstration of functionality, but the ultimate test of "how AI can become an independent economic entity."

Extreme selection process, one in a hundred:

Since the launch of the open recruitment, we have received a large number of highly innovative project applications. These projects accurately capture the core pulse of Web4.0, covering multiple cutting-edge tracks such as quantitative trading and financial intelligence, multi-agent platforms, digital clones for education and social interaction, bot cloud for developers, and agent security.

After the registration deadline on February 28, more than ten review organizations will conduct a closed-door preliminary review. Through in-depth evaluation with "one person, one vote", eight demos will be selected to enter the Hong Kong event to demonstrate the true action and economic value of AI Agents.

Multidimensional Empowerment: The Ticket to Traffic and Potential Investment

For the shortlisted projects, this is not only a showcase, but also a practical opportunity for brand exposure and capital connection.

Top-tier traffic exposure: ME Group, as a leading media growth expert, will provide comprehensive media matrix support to ensure that the project accurately reaches the core global Web3 user group.

Direct Capital Connection Opportunities: The more than ten institutions present at the event were not only evaluators but also potential lead investors. In the early stages of Web4.0, securing the favor of top-tier funds means a project will receive both financial and ecosystem support.

III. $60,000+ Incentives: Fueling the Builder's Ambitions

To help early-stage projects overcome the "valley of death," this event, in partnership with Google Cloud, AWS, Cyannova, GoPlus, LLMConnect, Agentrix, and other partners, offers a tiered reward pool with a total value of at least $60,000, which will continue to increase as more sponsors join.

The eight shortlisted projects will face multiple challenges, including a roadshow presentation, a security audit, and capital inquiries.

Winners (4 winners): The top 4 projects, based on on-site judging and scoring, will share the core incentive package and receive the best computing power and cloud resources.

Finalist Award (8 slots): All projects that make it to the final on-site demo will receive one-on-one technical guidance from experts and access to ecosystem resources.

This award is an affirmation of the innovative spirit of outstanding builders and a powerful engine for promoting the real-world application of Web4.0.

IV. Top-Tier Review Matrix: Dual Screening by Capital Giants and Security Safeguards

The judging panel for the Hong Kong leg of the competition comprises representatives from several leading institutions in the fields of finance, Web3, and AI.

A professional review panel comprised of over ten leading funds: (continuously updated...)

Founders from Longling Capital, Fenbushi Capital, Web3Labs, Amber Labs, Gaorong Capital, Asia Pacific Future Anchor Digital Technology Fund, IOSG Ventures, Waterdrip Capital, Panga Capital, and Pando Finance will be present. Their evaluation criteria will focus on whether projects possess true "Web 4.0 DNA": namely, agent autonomy, a closed-loop economic system, and technological scalability.

Security Shield: Professional Endorsement from CertiK and SlowMist

In the field of AI and Web3 integration, security is a critical prerequisite for project implementation. This event has invited CertiK and SlowMist as security assessment agencies to provide security audit opinions and risk prevention guidance for shortlisted projects.

Assisted review and professional assessment: The security organization will act as a "security assessment team" to provide professional security assessment opinions on the 8 demo projects.

Risk Prevention and Defense Guidance: Security agencies will provide early warnings regarding potential risks to the AI Agent. This comprehensive "diagnosis" is of significant value for early-stage projects.

V. Conclusion: In Hong Kong, foreseeing the next decade

The "Web4.0 China Tour - Hong Kong Station" is not only a showcase platform, but also an industry hub connecting capital, technology, security, and traffic. If you are looking for opportunities in the agent sector, Causeway Bay on March 7th is worth paying attention to.

More city sites will be unlocked in the future. Web4.0 China Tour - Hong Kong Station, welcome industry participants to witness it together!
