Hong Kong has surpassed its neighboring cities in providing AI services but is still far behind the rest of the world [P1]. According to a recent address, Hong Kong is significantly slower than its neighbors and is striving to improve its position in the field of AI supply chains. The address is part of the 'Key Development Index' of the Greater Bay Area 2026, shared by the Our Hong Kong Foundation and Dah Sing Bank. The index evaluated the performance of 11 cities within the bay area on key sectors such as logistics and industrial production, construction, real estate market, innovation, technology, and finance.
Hong Kong has had an overall growth rate that surpasses all other cities, with a six-sector key increase of 5.1%.

This population is larger and more numerous than those of the three largest Bay Area regions: New York, Tokyo, and San Francisco. The Bay Area consists of Hong Kong, Macau, and nine nearby cities in southern China's Guangdong Province - Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Foshan, Huizhou, Dongguan, Zhongshan, Jiangmen, and Zhaoqing.
