Hong Kong Cyberport is positioning itself as a launchpad for Chinese artificial-intelligence companies expanding overseas. The government-backed tech hub has opened a 3,000-petaflop AI supercomputing center and set aside a HK$30 billion funding program, according to a Cyberport announcement.
A three-board strategy targets markets in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. The plan pairs computing resources with capital to help AI startups scale abroad rather than compete only on the mainland. Cyberport said the first phase of the supercomputing center went live this month.
The funding program covers equity investment and grants. Participating companies get access to the computing cluster and support for regulatory compliance in target markets. The move is part of a broader push by Hong Kong to attract tech firms seeking a route into faster-growing economies outside China.
Cyberport already houses more than 2,000 startups, including about 150 focused on AI. The new computing capacity is meant to remove one of the biggest bottlenecks for AI companies: access to affordable processing power. The center's next phase, set for completion in early 2026, will double its capacity to 6,000 petaflops.
About 30 companies have signed up for the initial phase, Cyberport said.
