The International Academicians Hong Kong Forum is an annual flagship event organised by the International Alliance of Academicians (IAA). It serves as a premier platform for academic exchange, convening Nobel laureates, distinguished scholars, industry leaders, and policymakers connected to Hong Kong to address global challenges through collaborative dialogue. This distinguished gathering represents a powerful day of insight, strategy, and real-world innovation.
Since its establishment, IAA has been driven by a singular vision: to unite the world’s brightest scientific minds and leverage Hong Kong’s unique advantages as a global hub for research and innovation. Inaugurated in 2025, the inaugural Forum brought together more than 200 scholars and experts from around the world, earning widespread acclaim and cementing the Forum’s role as a significant platform for cross-disciplinary exchange.
As Hong Kong continues to strengthen its role as an international innovation and technology (I&T) centre, the Forum actively contributes to this vision by fostering industry-academia collaboration, advancing cutting-edge discourse, and inspiring the next generation of innovators. Each edition focuses on themes of profound societal relevance, exploring how scientific and technological advancements can shape a more sustainable and innovative future.
