Outsmart Competitors: Turn AI Governance Into Your Growth Engine

Most firms still treat AI governance as a legal checkbox. For German companies operating in Hong Kong, that's not just inefficient—it's risky. With ESG scrutiny rising, data laws diverging, and AI adoption accelerating across manufacturing, finance, and logistics, a proactive governance strategy is now a business imperative.

In this high-impact session, Alfons Futterer, Managing Director of NanoMatriX Technologies Limited and author of AI Leadership Blueprint: Hong Kong's Path to Global Excellence, shares how to transform AI compliance into a strategic growth driver—especially for companies balancing EU rules, GBA expansion, and HK market access.

Leaders will discover how to:

• Convert compliance into capital by using AI transparency to attract ESG investors and lower the cost of capital.
• Navigate regulatory fragmentation with actionable frameworks for GDPR, PDPO, and China data alignment.
• Mitigate bias and algorithmic risk in real-time through HKMA GenAI sandbox examples and ISO 42001 tools.
• Enable cross-border growth by tapping HK's new GBA data corridors and HKEX's AI-ready listing structures.
• Operationalize ESG + AI using carbon-intelligent logistics, predictive maintenance, and ethical AI sourcing.

With case studies from German manufacturers, HK financial institutions, and logistics innovators, this session goes beyond theory. It's built for firms looking to scale responsibly, win investor trust, and access new markets through ethical, adaptive AI governance.

Who Should Attend:

• COOs pursuing AIRS certification (i.e., any certification in AI risk or AI sustainability), CFOs eyeing AI-driven ESG premiums, and CTOs deploying AI across borders.
• Risk, compliance, and ESG officers who are managing GenAI under dual EU-HK regulations.
• Manufacturing and logistics leaders who are integrating AI via HKPC, HKSTP, and cross-border platforms.
• Financial services executives who are mitigating regulatory exposure in the HKMA GenAI sandbox.

Why It Matters:

Delaying action risks reputation, capital access, and regulatory penalties. This session gives you the tools to lead before competitors catch up.
