As the global digital transformation accelerates, Web3 has moved from exploration to practice, profoundly reshaping the strategic logic of enterprises and becoming a strategic reality that high-tech companies must face. For corporate decision makers, challenges and opportunities coexist:
• The stablecoin revolution is shaking the boundaries of traditional finance. How can we predict the evolution of capital flow structure and plan ahead to balance compliance and efficiency?
• RWA on-chain unlocks real-world assets. How to build “protocol sovereignty” and liquidity advantages in the new round of asset digitization?
• Data sovereignty has a reverse impact on the platform economy model. How to reconstruct the user trust system in an era that focuses more on privacy?
As Web3 leaps forward to become a new financial, new architecture, and new trust infrastructure, it is no longer a question of “whether to participate” but a critical decision of “how to participate and how deeply to participate”.
The HKU Business School's Web3 Global Elite Program has helped global managers understand and navigate this transformation for two consecutive years. This September, the third Web3 Global Elite Program will kick off, bringing together world-renowned professors and industry leaders, linking the three Web3 hubs of Hong Kong, Singapore, and Dubai , and focusing on capital allocation, technological evolution, regulatory trends, and regional strategies, helping companies grasp the key nodes of Web3 transformation.
On June 30, 2025, HKU Business School Executive Education will launch a three-month course warm-up series of activities at the Admiralty Learning Center. The theme of the first event is "Web3 Innovation and Business Opportunities" . It will be led by Xiao Feng, a member of the Hong Kong Web3 Development Task Force and Chairman of HashKey Group , and will bring together academic and industry leaders. Through keynote speeches, fireside conversations, real case sharing and immersive interactive experiences, participants will have a deep understanding of the connotation of Web3, explore how Web3 reshapes the industry landscape, and have a profound impact on future business models. This event is hosted by HKU Business School Executive Education and co-organized by MetaEra.
