On the morning of March 11, at Lecture Theatre 2 of Chung Chi College, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, the venue was completely full.
This was not an ordinary industry salon, but the official launch station of the "Envisioning the Future · Innovative Management Global Leaders Camp · 2026 OpenClaw Asia-Pacific 'Shrimp Farming' Grand Parade"—co-hosted by the Asia-Pacific Institute of Business of The Chinese University of Hong Kong and the Jinlin Lighthouse, with Techub News and Web3Labs as co-organizers, declaring its launch at Asia's most representative business hall.
When the strongest academic lineup meets the most cutting-edge industry practitioners, 120 minutes and seven hard-hitting presentations transformed this morning into a moment of enlightenment for many.
Three Professors from CUHK at the Helm · Academic Leadership in Era of Thought
Professor Ma Xufei: How to Reshape Corporate Competitiveness in the Age of AI
The opening speech was delivered by Professor Ma Xufei—former dean of the Business School of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, now head of the management department. Professor Ma pointed out from the global management perspective that the CUHK Business School is the first modern business school established in Asia, bearing the mission of building a dialogue platform between academia and the industry. He emphasized that amidst the tide of technological transformation, "strategy" is always the core of corporate breakthrough, and cognitive upgrading is the true dividend of this era.
Professor Fu Jin: "The Route for Enterprises to Go Overseas from a Global Perspective—In-depth Interpretation of Opportunities in Hong Kong, Macau, the Middle East, and the United States"
Professor Fu Jin—from the Management Department of the CUHK Business School—delivered a direct and pragmatic speech that impressed the attending entrepreneurs. He clearly pointed out the core strategic framework for four major overseas destinations:
- Hong Kong: The third-largest financial center in the world, the first mainstream financial center for full-chain licensed regulation of virtual assets, serves as the "base" and optimal starting point for going overseas, but requires a deep understanding of compliance.
- Macau: With the dual policy support of Hengqin's deep cooperation zone, corporate income tax is as low as 15%, making it a collaborative node in the Greater Bay Area, suitable for family offices, intermediate trade, and cultural and technological tourism.
- Middle East: Sovereign funds exceed a trillion, with zero taxation and no foreign exchange control, becoming a new global strategic center for AI and digital assets, serving as a strategic springboard for AI, Web3, and cross-border payment companies.
- United States: The ultimate testing ground for global capital and technology, BTC spot and ETF open traditional financial channels, but with the strictest regulation and highest compliance costs.
Professor Fu's description of the "golden route" succinctly expressed: Headquartered in Hong Kong, using the Middle East as a strategic springboard, the U.S. as a capital highland, and Macau as a collaborative point in the Greater Bay Area. The success or failure of going overseas does not depend on money or technology, but on cognition and resources.
Professor Liao Ming: "Reshaping Corporate Global Competitiveness in the Age of Intelligent Agents and AI"
Professor Liao Ming—from the Decision, Operations, and Technology Department of the CUHK Business School—analyzed a thought-provoking phenomenon based on over 20 years of AI research and front-line practical experience with BCG, Facebook (Meta), and Huawei, revealing that globally, 98% of companies are attempting AI, but those that truly generate business value are less than a quarter.
Using "shrimp farming (OpenClaw)" as a starting point, Professor Liao affirmed the revolutionary significance of AI agents for personal productivity—reaching the top of the global open-source tools ranking in just four months, while also soberly pointing out three major risks in corporate applications: the "hallucination" issue of large language models, irreversible damage caused by autonomous AI execution, and security threats from prompt injection.
His core judgment: Strongly encourage personal use; be very cautious with corporate use. Successful companies implementing AI share several characteristics:
- First, cultivate AI literacy for all personnel ("AI awareness")
- Start with business strategic goals to choose scenarios, rather than starting with technology
- Establish a complete data framework
- Enhance leadership's AI decision-making capabilities
- Move from pilot programs to scaling, with continuous data feedback and iteration
Professor Liao also shared a "learn to teach" three-step method for corporate AI transformation: build a core seed team, learn while developing, and ultimately evolve into a large internal AI team of hundreds. He also anticipated that in the next six months to a year, "solopreneurs" will emerge in large numbers—individuals and small teams that can effectively leverage AI will create unimaginable business possibilities.
Industry Pioneers Take the Stage · Practical Insights Strike at the Core
Emma Zhu · Partner at New Fire Technology Asset Management
Presentation Topic: Prediction Market Special Session
Emma Zhu, Partner at New Fire Technology (a publicly listed company in Hong Kong, formerly Huobi Technology), introduced a refreshing field focused on the Prediction Market. She emphasized Polymarket: this company, founded in 2020 and forced to "move" to the U.S. due to lack of licenses, eventually overtook international markets in a remarkable turn.
The core data was shocking for the audience:
- During the 2024 U.S. presidential elections, the two leading platforms recorded a total of 4.5 billion dollars in transaction volume
- Polymarket's valuation soared from 20 million dollars in 2020 to a latest financing valuation of 20 billion dollars in 2025
- Active users grew from 4,000 in 2024 to nearly 600,000 to 1 million
Emma pointed out that the core advantage of prediction markets lies in blockchain's decentralized settlement—no house, transparent transactions, and immutable records. Bloomberg has listed Polymarket’s data as one of its mainstream reference sources. She also shared a Hong Kong case: a company analyzed sports event action data through AI and achieved nearly 100 million dollars in annual revenue on Polymarket, showcasing the actual power of combining AI with Web3.
Summer · AI OpenClaw
Presentation Topic: "Peeling Back the Future: OpenClaw Crawfish and Digital Asset Innovation Academic Bureau"
As an AI practical representative for OpenClaw, Summer used multiple real-world case studies to help the attendees experience the boundary of an AI agent's "super employee" capabilities:
- Customer Order Following Scenario: 50 customer emails, completed personalized processing in 2 minutes, with productivity increased 100 times
- Financial Reimbursement Scenario: Employees upload invoices to a group chat, the agent automatically identifies, fills forms, and approves compliance, reducing reimbursement time from 3 days to 3 minutes
- Overseas Business Follow-Up: Automatically takes over emails 24 hours a day, identifies engagement level, auto-replies, and proactively pushes reports
Summer emphasized that the true breakthrough with crawfish is that the system has acquired judgment—it not only executes commands but also understands the company's ultimate goals, proactively planning, executing, reflecting, and iterating. She pointed out that the policies "farming lobsters" released by Longgang in Shenzhen and Wuxi High-tech Zone are clear signals from the government regarding the reconstruction of corporate organizational structure by AI agents.
Dr. Xia Chun · Business Head of Xinhe Asset Management, Founder and Chief Economist of Zhihui Group, Former Professor and Doctoral Supervisor at the University of Hong Kong's Finance Department, Vice President of the Hong Kong International Finance Association
Presentation Topic: "Reconstructing Order and Global Asset Allocation Under AI Impact"
Dr. Xia Chun provided an in-depth analysis of the logic of global asset allocation under the impact of AI from a macro perspective, providing institutional investors and corporate management with a systematic global layout framework in the context of the in-depth intersection of AI and digital assets, sparking enthusiastic discussions among attendees.
Principal Zhang · BillMining
Presentation Topic: In-depth Analysis of Industrial Layout and Investment Logic in the Era of Computing Power
Principal Zhang from BillMining combined years of hands-on experience in the mining and digital asset infrastructure fields to deeply analyze the industrial opportunities and investment logic in the computing power era, illustrating a clear path for entrepreneurs to enter the digital asset ecosystem through computing power.
Zhao Chao · Chairman of Qitu International
Presentation Topic: Sharing Enterprise Strategic Layout and Practical Experience from a Global Perspective
Zhao Chao, Chairman of Qitu International, shared the story of guiding 50,000 entrepreneurs through the Gobi Desert over the past decade, announcing that "Qitu International" would officially launch with Hong Kong as its starting station—leading entrepreneurs to global markets such as Dubai and the United States, experiencing globalization trends through practical actions. His core judgment: No matter how technology evolves, human experience will ultimately become a scarce resource; globalization is not a choice but a matter of survival.
