On November 3, Ant Group Co., Ltd. Chairman Eric Jing revealed at Hong Kong FinTech Week 2025 that the company has designated Hong Kong as the strategic pivot for its globalization efforts. He announced that subsidiary Ant Digital Tech will introduce comprehensive AI services across multiple scenarios.
Jing emphasized Hong Kong's advantages as a springboard for mainland enterprises' global expansion, citing its mature financial ecosystem and international talent pool. The newly launched AI services include three core products: Agentar (intelligent agent platform), ZOLOZ (security risk control platform), and an AI-powered mobile banking solution.

The company also disclosed its Hong Kong operational milestones: - AlipayHK e-wallet serves more than 4.5 million active users - Ant Bank (Hong Kong) ranks among the city's eight digital banks - Following April's designation of Hong Kong as its overseas headquarters, the group jointly purchased a commercial property in Causeway Bay with Alibaba in October as its operational base
Additionally, Ant Group is participating in two key Hong Kong Monetary Authority initiatives: the "Ensemble" project and generative AI sandbox testing.
