More than 100 exhibitors showcased cutting-edge technologies, including artificial intelligence, fintech, and blockchain solutions. Notable participants included Hong Kong-based startups such as Airwallex and Lalamove, alongside global giants like Google and Microsoft.
According to conference organizer Michael Chan, "Leap London is a testament to the growing collaboration between Hong Kong and the UK. We are excited to bring together innovators from both regions to foster new partnerships."
Impact on Tech Industry
The event featured over 50 keynote speeches and panel discussions, with topics ranging from digital transformation to sustainable tech. Attendees praised the networking opportunities, with many noting the potential for cross-border investments.
"The conference has opened doors for us to connect with European investors," said Jane Li, CEO of a Hong Kong-based AI startup. "We have already secured several meetings with potential partners."
The Leap conference is expected to return to London next year, with organizers planning to expand its footprint across Europe.
