To support the Government’s initiative to develop artificial intelligence (AI) as a core industry and to enable traditional sectors to upgrade and transform through AI adoption, the Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute (ASTRI) is organising the 2026 seminar series “AI Empowerment: Enhancing Industry Capabilities.” The first seminar, titled “AI and Urban Planning: Building Smarter Cities,” will bring together business leaders and industry experts to examine the transformative role of AI in construction and property technology. Discussions will focus on how AI-driven innovations can improve efficiency, safety, and sustainability; enhance customer experiences; create new business models; and open up growth opportunities, while addressing associated challenges and impacts. Through industry leaders’ sharing of effective AI and data analytics applications, the series aims to foster cross-sector collaboration and knowledge exchange, promote best practices, support the development of intelligent infrastructure, and advance the industry in alignment with government initiatives on smart cities and green building development.

This week's session is all about one thing: getting OpenClaw up and running on your machine for free. Here's how the setup session will work: 1. **Early Bird Special**: People who arrive early will be eligible for free 1:1 OpenClaw setup. 2. **Lucky Draw**: One person will be randomly selected for dedicated setup help. Everyone else is welcome to follow along! 3. **What to Bring**: · A Laptop with Power: Make sure it's charged and has enough free space. · A Cellphone Hotspot: Central Market WiFi can be unpredictable, so bringing your own hotspot is highly recommended for a smooth installation. **About Lunatechs** This event is hosted by the founders of Lunatechs—a community for the ones who genuinely love technology, not just for the gadgets but for what it can do. Hanley Leung (Engineering Leader, ex-Apple/EA/Yahoo!) and Jason Xu (Product Manager, ex-Google/Alibaba) started Lunatechs to bring together aspirational techies to socialize, share, and build. Come for the tech, stay for the boba, and let's get OpenClaw installed!
