For more information about the conference:
Mr. Chan Ho-lam, Deputy Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury of Hong Kong: "Last year's SmartCon in Barcelona was an excellent opportunity to showcase to a global audience that Hong Kong has established a clear regulatory framework for virtual assets. Our commitment to making Hong Kong a major Web3 hub in Asia has received high recognition and enthusiastic response from participants. We are very pleased that Chainlink recognizes this potential and has chosen to bring SmartCon 2024 to our vibrant city. This SmartCon conference 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 in shaping the future of a comprehensive and resilient financial ecosystem."
Mr. Leung Hon-king, Global Head of Financial Services and FinTech at Invest Hong Kong: "One of Chainlink's most important milestones in 2023 was the collaboration with financial institutions like Swift, demonstrating how traditional financial entities can utilize the latest Chainlink technology to transact with public and private blockchains. These groundbreaking advancements 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 see leaders in banking, asset management, and wealth management further expanding and upgrading related business activities with strong momentum. Hong Kong's strategic initiatives to become a hub for Web3 and digital assets perfectly align with Chainlink's vision. We are excited to welcome SmartCon 2024 to Hong Kong and work together to integrate traditional finance with Web3, fostering a more vibrant real-world economy."
Mr. Wong Cheuk-heung, General Manager of MICE and Cruise at the Hong Kong Tourism Board: "Bringing SmartCon 2024 to Hong Kong is another successful achievement for Hong Kong as an international financial and innovation technology center. The Hong Kong Tourism Board is thrilled with the success of our collaboration with Invest Hong Kong, making Hong Kong the first stop in Asia for Chainlink's flagship conference SmartCon. Hosting this event in the heart of Asia not only allows global investors, leaders, policymakers, and startups from the blockchain and Web3 community to seize business opportunities in this strategic location, but it also serves as an excellent platform to showcase Hong Kong as a preferred destination for diverse experiences."
