During the GWDC 2026 Global Web3 Developer Conference, the "Global Leadership Camp for AI-Powered Digital Asset Innovation Management" was officially launched. This project is a joint initiative of the Asia-Pacific Institute of Business and Technology at the Chinese University of Hong Kong Business School and Jinlin Lighthouse, with ecosystem support and industry backing provided by Techub News and Web3Labs. At the launch ceremony, Fu Jin, Visiting Professor of the Department of Management at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, delivered a keynote speech, systematically elaborating on the development trend of the integration of AI and digital assets, the evolution of the global financial innovation landscape, and the core directions of future Web3 talent development systems.
He pointed out that against the backdrop of the accelerated integration of artificial intelligence and digital finance, the key to industrial competition is shifting from single-point technological breakthroughs to comprehensive competition in cognitive systems, governance capabilities, and global collaborative networks .
AI × Digital Assets: From an "Elective" To a Core Strategic Capability for Global Institutions
In his speech, Fu Jin clearly stated that the development of AI and digital assets has entered a stage of structural leap, which is profoundly reshaping the way enterprises operate and the financial infrastructure system.
He pointed out that, on the one hand, the new generation of artificial intelligence technologies, represented by large models and intelligent agents, are reshaping corporate decision-making processes, risk control systems, and organizational structures; on the other hand, new financial architectures, represented by digital assets, tokenization, and real-world assets (RWA), are moving from regional innovation to mainstream global asset allocation.
In terms of regulatory trends, international financial hubs such as Hong Kong and Abu Dhabi have taken the lead in establishing digital asset compliance systems, while Wall Street and Silicon Valley are also promoting the deep integration of institutionalization and technological innovation.
Fu Jin believes that in this industry cycle, if an organization lacks systematic understanding and cross-jurisdictional operational capabilities, it will be difficult to maintain its core competitive advantage in the next decade.
The Global Leadership Camp has three strategic focuses: cognitive restructuring, compliance governance, and ecosystem co-construction.
Addressing the industry pain points of integrating AI with digital assets, Fu Jin explained that this Global Leaders Camp project will focus on building three core value systems.
1. Construct a global cognitive framework
The project will create a complete industry knowledge path through a 13-day, multi-location learning system spanning Hong Kong, Macau, Abu Dhabi, and New York and Silicon Valley in the United States.
The course design not only covers the underlying technical logic of AI and blockchain, but also systematically interprets global regulatory policies and financial innovation models. It also combines corporate cases and industry implementation practices to help participants build a comprehensive cognitive model of the synergistic development of technology, business and organization.
Fu Jin emphasized that future industrial competition will not only be a competition of technology, but also a competition of cognitive structure and strategic judgment.
2. Explore global compliant innovation pathways
As digital assets gradually become more institutionalized and formalized, compliance and governance have become key variables in the industry's development.
Fu Jin pointed out that the project will guide participants to think about innovative paths in a real regulatory environment through classroom teaching, closed-door exchanges, and in-depth visits to enterprises.
Through research on policy practices in leading virtual asset regulatory regions such as Hong Kong and Abu Dhabi, and combined with case studies of the financial and technology ecosystems of New York and Silicon Valley, the project will focus on exploring:
- How to build a cross-border business system in a multi-jurisdictional environment
- How to achieve technological innovation and business expansion within a compliance framework
- How to establish a global risk management and governance mechanism
3. Build a long-term industrial talent ecosystem network
Unlike traditional training programs, Fu Jin emphasized that the core objective of this Global Leadership Camp is to create a continuously evolving learning community.
He explained that the Chinese University of Hong Kong Business School and the Asia-Pacific Institute of Business will join forces with Jinlin Lighthouse and leverage Techub News' industry communication and community capabilities, as well as Web3Labs' innovation incubation and acceleration resources, to build a high-end collaborative network that spans regions and industries .
This ecosystem will encompass financial institutions, technology companies, industry groups, professional service organizations, and regulatory research, promoting long-term cooperation and innovative practices among multiple parties in a secure and open environment.
Hong Kong's Role Upgraded: A Strategic Hub Connecting Global Digital Financial Innovation
At the macro level, Fu Jin also closely integrated the project's positioning with the national development strategy and Hong Kong's urban positioning.
He pointed out that the nation clearly supports Hong Kong in consolidating its status as an international financial center and promoting its development into an international innovation and technology hub and a digital economy leader. Within this strategic framework, Hong Kong needs not only institutional and regulatory innovation, but also a talent and industry collaboration system with cross-sectoral capabilities.
Fu Jin stated that the Chinese University of Hong Kong Business School will focus on playing the roles of "connector" and "enabler" in the future. On the one hand, it will connect with the forefront of global academic and policy research, and on the other hand, it will connect with the needs of real industries and financial markets, and continuously promote talent cultivation and technology transfer by working with industry partners.
Industry-academia-research-media collaboration: Creating a new paradigm for Web3 talent cultivation
The launch of this Global Leadership Camp also marks a new stage of multi-party collaboration in the Web3 industry talent development model.
Through the deep integration of academic research institutions, industry investment platforms, media ecosystems, and innovation acceleration systems, this project aims to build an industry innovation infrastructure that transcends the boundaries of education and training.
Industry insiders generally believe that as the AI and Web3 industries gradually enter a period of integration, multi-talented individuals with a global perspective, compliance capabilities, and technical understanding will become the core resource for future digital economy competition.
Conclusion: Reshaping the industry's cognitive coordinates and moving towards a new era of global digital economy.
In closing, Fu Jin extended an invitation to global entrepreneurs and industry managers, hoping that more industry participants could reconstruct their strategic cognitive coordinates in the era of AI and digital assets through systematic learning and cross-border practice.
He stated that the key to future industrial competition lies not only in technological breakthroughs, but also in the ability to build an open, collaborative, compliant, stable, and globally-oriented innovation system.
With the advancement of the GWDC 2026 Global Web3 Developer Conference, a new round of industrial transformation centered on technological innovation, financial system upgrades, and global regulatory collaboration is accelerating.
The launch of the "Global Leaders Camp for Innovation Management of Digital Assets Empowered by AI" is also seen as an important step for the Web3 talent system to move towards globalization and systematization.
The GWDC 2026 conference signed an agreement to launch the AI-enabled Digital Asset Global Leaders Camp.
During the GWDC 2026 Global Web3 Developer Conference, Techub News, together with the Asia-Pacific Institute of Business and Technology of the Chinese University of Hong Kong Business School, Jinlin Lighthouse and Web3Labs, signed a strategic agreement and launched the "Global Leaders Camp for AI-Powered Digital Asset Innovation Management".
At the launch ceremony, Fu Jin, Visiting Professor of the Department of Management at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, delivered a keynote speech, emphasizing the importance of Web3 talent cultivation and industrial upgrading. He introduced that the Leadership Camp, lasting 13 days and covering a learning journey in four locations including Hong Kong and Macau, will help participants reconstruct their cognitive framework of AI and digital assets, proactively address compliance governance, jointly build a high-end talent ecosystem, assist institutions in achieving innovation within compliance boundaries, enhance cross-border practical competitiveness, and establish a high-end exchange network integrating academia and industry.
