Hong Kong companies can now tap government funding to train teams, cut AI development costs, and accelerate tech upgrades — here’s what executives need to know.
AI adoption is no longer optional — but many Hong Kong companies still struggle with high R&D costs and low staff readiness.
The good news? Several 2026 Hong Kong Government funding schemes may help businesses upskill teams, access AI computing power, and upgrade operations.
We’ve broken down the key subsidies executives should know — and how to use them strategically.
Read the full article to see which scheme fits your business best.

APlus is a leading Internet of Things (IoT) system integrator. We bridge the gap between complex hardware and actionable business insights. We specialize in combining LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) wireless technology with AI-powered Computer Vision to build comprehensive, secure, and cost-effective digital ecosystems that transform physical assets into intelligent networks.
LoRaWAN
Built for Hong Kong’s Dense Environment
Hong Kong’s hyper-dense, high-rise urban landscape presents unique connectivity challenges. Traditional wireless networks like Wi-Fi have short ranges, while cellular data (5G) can be too expensive and power-hungry for thousands of sensors. LoRaWAN is the ultimate solution:
- Deep Concrete Penetration: Sub-gigahertz radio waves effortlessly pierce through thick skyscraper walls, subterranean basements, and underground utility tunnels.
- Extreme Battery Efficiency: Sensors use so little power that they can run for up to 10 years on a single, tiny battery.
- Massive Cost Savings: Unlike cellular devices, LoRaWAN sensors don’t require individual SIM cards or monthly data subscriptions, making large-scale deployments highly affordable.
Computer Vision
Visual AI at the Edge
While LoRaWAN excels at transmitting numerical data (like temperature, humidity, or tank levels) over long distances, APlus integrates Computer Vision (CV) to give your systems “eyes.” By deploying AI-enabled cameras, we turn standard video feeds into real-time, actionable data streams.
- Intelligent Automation: Instantly recognize patterns, count objects, and detect anomalies without human monitoring.
- Edge AI Processing: Heavy video data is analyzed right on the camera or a local gateway, sending only critical alerts or compact data packets over the network to save bandwidth.
- Seamless Fusion: We combine visual insights with LoRaWAN sensor data into a single dashboard, giving you a complete, multi-layered view of your operations.
Why APlus?
- End-to-End Encryption: Your data—whether a sensor reading or a computer vision alert—is completely secure and private from the moment it is captured until it hits your screen.
- Turnkey Integration: We handle everything—from hardware sourcing and network setup to training custom AI models and building the final software dashboard tailored to your business KPIs.
Are you looking to enhance a specific area of your operations with visual AI, or would you like to see how combining sensors with cameras could solve a recurring facility challenge? We are more than happy to explore the possibilities with you.
CITRIS and the Banatao Institute
我們很開心能跟 RoboticsCats 一起加入 CITRIS and the Banatao Institute 的 Workforce Innovation Program。今年夏天會跟他們的團隊一起做一些很有意思的研發專案。
這次我們有來自四所加大分校的學生—— UC Berkeley, UC Santa Cruz, UC Davis, and UC Merced。這些年輕又有衝勁的夥伴，搭配我們的商業合作夥伴，希望能結合不同技術，創造出一些新穎的解決方案。
The AI Summit London took place on June 11-12, 2025. It was a major commercial AI event focusing on business applications, real-world deployment, scaling AI, governance, and industry transformations, attracting thousands of attendees, speakers from companies like DeepMind, Mistral AI, and even high-profile figures like French President Emmanuel Macron discussing strategic AI visions.
- Industrial or edge AI applications where computer vision is commonly used (e.g., manufacturing, autonomous systems, or real-time processing).
- Live demos and expo showcases from sponsors/exhibitors, which frequently include CV tools for object detection, image analysis, or synthetic data generation.
