Where does capital flow next—and what kind of future will it build?

At the 2026 CEIBS Innovation Forum in Hong Kong, global leaders from business, finance, government, and technology came together to explore one of the defining questions of our time: how artificial intelligence, geopolitics, innovation, and shifting capital flows are reshaping the global economy.

Under the theme "Where Capital Flows Next: Hong Kong in a Rewired Global Economy”, the forum examined Hong Kong's evolving role as a bridge between China and the world, a gateway for innovation, and a platform for global capital allocation.

Highlights include:

• The future of global capital flows and financial markets
• AI's impact on innovation, productivity, and economic growth
• China's innovation ecosystem and emerging technologies
• Geopolitics, global order, and international cooperation
• Hong Kong's role as a global financial and innovation hub
• Cross-border collaboration in an era of uncertainty

Featured speakers include policymakers, investors, entrepreneurs, and renowned international leaders, including former French Prime Minister and CEIBS Distinguished Professor Dominique de Villepin and Member of the Monetary Policy Committee of the People’s Bank of China Huang Haizhou.

As the world enters a new phase of economic transformation, the conversation is no longer just about technology. It's about trust, connectivity, institutions, innovation, and the partnerships that will shape the future.
