iMBrace at Hong Kong FinTech Week x StartmeupHK Festival 2025 – From AI Promise to Production
Event Overview
iMBrace was proud to participate in the 10th-anniversary edition of Hong Kong FinTech Week x StartmeupHK Festival 2025, held from 3–7 November 2025 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre and venues across the city. This milestone event marked the first-ever collaboration between two flagship festivals, celebrating a decade of innovation, entrepreneurship, and digital transformation.
The festival brought together over 45,000 visitors from 120+ economies, featuring 1,000+ speakers, 800+ exhibitors, and 30+ international delegations. Under the theme “A New Era of Innovation,” global policymakers, regulators, and industry leaders gathered to explore emerging technologies shaping the next decade of finance.
The joint event reaffirmed Hong Kong’s role as a global hub for financial innovation, highlighting its commitment to advancing the digital economy through responsible innovation, policy support, and cross-border collaboration that continues to drive fintech and AI excellence across Asia and beyond.
iMBrace joined two major programs:
- FinTech Innovation Lab Asia-Pacific (FILAP) 2025: Through this program, iMBrace gained access to mentorship, workshops, and networking with leading financial institutions and investors. This helped the team refine its AI-powered solutions for personalized banking, wealth management, and predictive analytics, enabling smarter, data-driven customer experiences.
- Global Fast Track (GFT) 2025: In this program, iMBrace leveraged opportunities to meet investors, pitch live, and connect with industry leaders. This allowed us to strengthen partnerships, demonstrate our enterprise AI capabilities, and accelerate growth across Hong Kong and the region.
Insight from iMBrace: Turning AI from Promise to Production
During the FILAP 2025 Demo Day and Global Fast Track 2025 AI Vertical Pitching Competition, iMBrace Founder & CEO Simon Yeung highlighted a critical truth about Enterprise AI: many businesses stop at proof-of-concept, but real transformation begins when enterprises connect people, data, and processes through a governed and scalable AI platform.
“Many enterprises experiment with AI but never take it into production. True impact comes when people, data, and processes work together with AI in one governed and intelligent flow,” — Simon Yeung shared during his sessions.
Simon emphasized that this approach is not just about efficiency, it’s about creating accountability, transparency, and trust within enterprise systems. By combining human expertise with AI-driven orchestration, iMBrace enables organizations to achieve operational excellence while transforming governance into a driver of innovation.
This philosophy guided iMBrace’s showcases at both programs, demonstrating how human-AI collaboration can turn high-volume financial workflows into measurable efficiency gains, reduce operational risk, and unlock new revenue opportunities — bringing AI from promise to production in real-world enterprise settings.
The Impact: A Milestone for iMBrace in Driving Enterprise AI
Participating in FILAP 2025 Demo Day and Global Fast Track 2025 was a key milestone for iMBrace.
These major programs provided a platform to engage with fintech innovators, investors, and enterprise leaders, allowing iMBrace to demonstrate how AI can move from experimentation to production with governance, transparency, and measurable impact.
The experience strengthened our understanding of market needs, refined our solutions for real-world financial operations, and opened doors to new collaborations and growth opportunities.
Looking Ahead: Accelerating Enterprise AI Impact
