Young job seekers in Hong Kong will gain access to more than 2,000 positions in technology fields when the Cyberport Career Fair 2026 takes place on March 20 and 21. The event continues to serve as one of Hong Kong’s largest platforms connecting young people with tech-related careers.
Now in its 12th edition, the expo brings together companies from 21 sectors, ranging from artificial intelligence and fintech to data science, low-altitude economy, cybersecurity and smart living. Organisers have arranged interactive sessions that allow participants to try out new applications in person.
Ir Eric Chan, Chief Public Mission Officer of Cyberport, said the fair remains an important platform for talent development as Hong Kong accelerates its digital transformation towards an AI-enabled economy.
“By giving young people access to hands-on experiences and direct conversations with employers, the Career Fair helps them understand where opportunities are heading and how they can equip themselves. Strengthening the talent pipeline is essential for Hong Kong to advance towards a smart economy,” he said.
According to Cyberport, the annual job fair has grown steadily in scale. In 2025 it offered 2,500 positions – a 25 per cent increase on the previous year – attracted 2,500 participants and received 9,500 applications.
This year the Career Fair aligns with national plans to promote “AI+” development and innovative talent cultivation. It is also part of the Hong Kong Talent Engage Global Talent Summit Week and continues its partnership with the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups.
Ricky Choi, Director of Smart City and Digital Transformation at Cyberport, noted that large companies and multinational firms had increased their participation this year as the job market continues to undergo changes.
Confirmed participating companies include Fujitsu, HKT, Huawei, iFlyTek, PCCW, Shanghai Commercial Bank and Standard Chartered.
“This move supplies more varied career routes, meets the need for people who combine technical knowledge with industry understanding, and connects smaller firms with larger organisations across local, Greater Bay Area and international markets,” said Choi.
The fair will run from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm each day at Cyberport Mall’s CyberArena and Cyberport 3. New features this year include Baidu Apollo’s autonomous driving introduction and drone football matches.
Talentlabs Limited co-founder Terrance Lok, whose company is part of the Cyberport community, observed that 53 per cent of the positions on offer require AI-related skills. Employers no longer seek only narrow specialists, he said; instead they look for T-shaped talent that combines depth in one field with breadth across others.
“Three abilities have become particularly important,” said Lok. “The first is the capacity to analyse and question outputs from AI systems. The second is the speed with which people pick up new tools that change almost every month. And the third is the skill of fitting artificial intelligence into actual business processes.”
Both Nnenu Limited and Farmio HK Limited are Cyberport-backed start-ups that recruited interns through Cyberport’s internship programme, which places around 100 young people each year with participating firms for periods of three to six months.
Nnenu Limited has developed a data architecture that digitises physical objects using a 360-degree honeycomb structure. The aim is to establish a standard format comparable to those used for images or sound files.
Co-founder Sarah Kam explained that the company, part of Cyberport’s incubation scheme, has international ambitions. She recruited Dinmukhammed Saken, a second-year computer science student at City University of Hong Kong from Kazakhstan, for his global perspective.
“The programme allowed me to apply classroom learning to real systems,” Saken said. “I found I enjoyed the business side of AI development.”
Farmio HK Limited develops AI solutions for food supply chains in Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia. Regional operations manager Bosco Lam said the focus is on eliminating unnecessary steps in logistics that involve multiple distributors before goods reach retailers.
The company chose Toby Luk, who will complete a master’s degree in digital culture and creative management at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, after he demonstrated technical grounding from mainland placements and interest in Hong Kong exposure.
Luk noted that skills acquired in Shanghai transferred directly. “The way AI is applied in workflows remains consistent across locations,” he said.
Asked how graduates from non-technical or non-IT backgrounds can still secure internships or job opportunities, Choi drew on his own past studies in architecture to make the point.
“Fields such as translation, history or languages, once considered distant from technology, now offer opportunities through AI tools,” Kam added.
Bosco Lam, himself a humanities graduate, said: “People trained in arts or social sciences learn to ask what problems society faces. AI handles the methods of solving them, but the decision about which problems matter remains a human one.”
The fair also provides shuttle buses that run between Admiralty and Cyberport throughout both days. Full information and the chance to plan a visit are available on the website ccf.cyberport.hk.
