Against the backdrop of rapid global technology development, Hong Kong is actively transforming into an innovative technology center, and the demand for artificial intelligence (AI) professional talents has increased significantly. According to the latest news, Hong Kong employers are currently hoping to fill more than 2,000 AI-related positions that will be displayed at the upcoming Cyberport Career Expo. This trend not only reflects Hong Kong's rapid development in the field of science and technology, but also indicates a major change in the future employment market.
The career fair is scheduled to be held this Friday and Saturday, with more than 580 institutions participating in the exhibition, covering startups, technology companies, government departments, and large companies such as Hang Seng Bank and Centaline Property. Mr. Cai, Director of Smart Life at Network Port, said that about 70% of the recruiters participating in the exhibition hope to recruit AI professionals, while nearly 60% of the positions are directly related to AI applications. This data clearly shows that Hong Kong is gradually transforming from a traditional financial center to a technological innovation center.
Mr. Cai further pointed out that in the past, people usually regarded Hong Kong as a financial center, but now this concept is undergoing profound changes. Especially this year, the proportion of employers from the smart life industry has reached 67%. The smart life industry includes many fields such as environment, retail, health, robotics, the Internet of Things, and education technology. Among them, jobs in the field of education technology account for the largest share of all industries, reaching 29%. This phenomenon shows that education technology is becoming an important part of Hong Kong's smart life industry.
With the rapid development of the AI industry, Hong Kong's demand for AI talents remains strong. A survey by digital recruitment platform TechJobAsia shows that one-third of professionals in Hong Kong are considering changing careers into AI-related careers. It can be foreseeable that with the continuous advancement of intelligent technology and the expansion of application scope, AI will become an important driving force for Hong Kong's economic growth. This trend not only provides job seekers with new career opportunities, but also lays the foundation for companies to explore and cultivate future talents.
In this market context, the Career Expo not only provides job seekers with rich employment opportunities, but also lays the foundation for companies to explore and cultivate future talents. Hong Kong's career market is undergoing a technological revolution, and future employment trends will rely more on innovative technology, especially in the field of artificial intelligence. This change will not only promote the sustained growth of Hong Kong's economy, but will also contribute more to global scientific and technological innovation.
