During the ceremony, Dr Lam announced EdCity’s full support for the Education Bureau’s digital education strategies.

The event will run concurrently with the 25th Learning & Teaching Expo (LTE) and the International Summit on the Use of AI in Learning and Teaching Languages and Other Subjects (AIinLT), further propelling Hong Kong’s digital education landscape. This initiative seeks to deepen the exploration and application of artificial intelligence (AI) and cutting-edge technologies in education, equipping teachers with AI-driven tools to enhance teaching effectiveness.
In a strategic move to bolster education technology (EdTech) and AI development, EdCity signed Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with four key partners: The Education University of Hong Kong, Cyberport, the Hong Kong Federation of Education Workers, and the Smart City Consortium. These collaborations aim to co-create an ‘AI Education Ecosystem’, fostering innovation and practical applications in the education sector.
