HKWD July - Women in Tech

This session of HKWD will spotlight women in technology.

Talk 1: (Dare to) Imagine Construction, Reshuffled by AI

Not taking a risk is a bigger risk itself, true or false?

Construction is a trillion dollar industry still running on PDFs, relationships, and gut feel. AI is about to reshuffle the entire ecosystem — from how tenders are written to how buildings get designed.

Adeline Chan, co- founder of AAL INNOVATION, architect-turned-entrepreneur shares her journey building an AI consultancy and creative studio, at the intersection of construction and technology — from landing her client through an inbound LinkedIn message to signing MoUs with the government of Kenya.

About the Speaker

A UK-licensed architect, NEC4 accredited project manager, and elected RIBA Hong Kong Chapter Committee Member, Adeline lectures at The University of Hong Kong and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and has spoken at over 70 global events.
