​💫What’s this Event for?

​
A half-day side event dedicated to the intersection of Web3 and AI, hosted alongside the 2026 Consensus HK. Building upon last year’s DeSci-focused discussion, this year’s event expands the scope to explore how Web3 infrastructures and AI technologies jointly reshape frontier innovation.

​
The program is structured into two focused sections:

​(i) Web3 × Biotech, examining decentralized scientific infrastructure, digital medicine, and biomedical innovation; and

​ (ii) Embodied Intelligence, addressing the convergence of AI, robotics, and real-world intelligent systems.

​The event aims to provide a forward-looking dialogue on how Hong Kong can position itself as a regional hub for Web3- and AI-enabled innovation, bridging research, industry, and investment ecosystems.

​这是一个与 2026 年 Consensus HK 同期举办的 半日制 Side Event，聚焦 Web3 与 AI 的交叉领域。在延续去年以 DeSci（去中心化科学） 为核心讨论的基础上，今年的活动进一步拓展视角，深入探讨 Web3 基础设施与 AI 技术如何共同重塑前沿创新范式。

​本次活动将分为两个重点板块：

​（一）Web3 × 生物科技（Biotech）

​探讨去中心化科研基础设施、数字医疗以及生物医学创新的发展路径；

​（二）具身智能（Embodied Intelligence）

​聚焦 AI、机器人技术与现实世界智能系统的融合与应用。

​活动旨在通过前瞻性的对话，探讨 香港如何定位自身，成为 Web3 与 AI 驱动创新的区域枢纽，并进一步连接科研、产业与投资生态，构建跨领域协同发展的创新平台。
