Subsequent to the success in Dubai, Hong Kong was picked as the strategic location for the global niche Web3 event WOW (World of Web3) Summit in 2023 to set a foothold in Asia Pacific, underscoring Hong Kong’s strong government support of the tech industry in areas like Web3 and the city’s unique position as the gateway to mainland China. 

The event drew 5,000-plus visitors, 150-plus speakers and 100-plus exhibitors from across 30-plus countries to gather at AsiaWorld-Expo on 29-30 March 2023. 

The event brought together industry leaders, government officials, funds and venture capitalists, NFT and digital artists, entrepreneurs and multinational corporates for important discussions, networking, business and fun.

Delegates enjoyed a packed programme of enterprise implementation case studies and solutions, innovative and creative Web3 projects, a startup competition to showcase new outstanding startups in the industry, and a fantastic art show featuring gifted NFT artists. The event was also enriched with various side events including after-parties, dinner, closing party and various networking opportunities in between for delegates to connect with the like-minded.
