KN Group Makes a Return Appearance at the Belt and Road Summit Empowering a New Landscape of Global Cooperation with AI-Driven FinTech

Following its successful debut at last year’s event, KN Group, a leading global fintech enterprise, has once again made a strong appearance at the 10th Belt and Road Summit this year. Scaling new heights in size, this year’s summit has gathered over 6,000 political and business elites from more than 70 countries and regions worldwide, along with over 90 renowned international speakers. On-site, it facilitated matches for more than 290 investment projects and hosted over 800 one-on-one project matchmaking meetings, emerging as a core business platform driving the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) into a new phase of high-quality development.

Mr. John Lee Ka-chiu, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, stated in his opening speech that Hong Kong maintains close trade ties with countries and regions along the "Belt and Road" (B&R) Initiative. The trade volume with these partners exceeded US$276 billion last year, representing an approximately 80% increase compared to the pre-2013 level. Hong Kong boasts unique advantages: it not only has a diversified financial service system to provide financial support for the development of the B&R Initiative, but also serves as an international innovation and technology hub with strong capabilities in scientific and technological innovation. Leveraging these strengths, Hong Kong can play a crucial supporting role in areas such as infrastructure development, green transition, and digital economy advancement in B&R countries. As Hong Kong continues to expand its cooperation fields, enhance its own value, and play an increasingly important role in the development of the B&R Initiative, this undoubtedly brings more development opportunities to enterprises like KN Group.

As a pioneering enterprise with 11 years of experience in the fintech sector, KN Group not only focused on the core theme of "AI Empowers Cross-Border Finance, Technology Drives Sustainable Development" at this year’s summit but also proactively built bridges for cross-border cooperation. It specially invited guests from key BRI-participating countries such as Thailand, Pakistan, and the Philippines to join the summit, engaging in in-depth discussions on pain points and needs in areas including cross-border trade financing, green project implementation, and digital financial cooperation across BRI-participating countries. KN Group also briefed the guests on the upgraded support services of its Hong Kong international headquarters – a team of over 200 professionals can provide one-stop support for cross-border cooperation, including technological R&D, operational coordination, and compliance assurance, further solidifying Hong Kong’s role as a strategic hub for the Group to expand its global business reach. 

Mr. Kong Qingyuan, Hong Kong General Manager and Global Treasury Director of KN Group, stated: "Having participated in the Belt and Road Summit for two consecutive years, we deeply recognize the new global cooperation opportunities brought by the BRI. This year, we not only brought upgraded fintech solutions but also launched the industry’s first fund product issued on blockchain, with consumer financial loans as the underlying assets. Going forward, we will continue to take Hong Kong as our pivot, deepen cooperation with regions such as Southeast Asia and Latin America, and explore more innovative models in consumer credit, supply chain finance, and green finance to inject technological impetus into the high-quality development of the BRI." 

As Asia’s leading green finance center and international innovation and technology hub, Hong Kong provides an unparalleled development environment for fintech enterprises like KN Group. According to data released at the summit, Hong Kong’s green bond issuance volume increased by 30% year-on-year in 2025, and the added value of core digital economy industries accounted for over 8% of its GDP – solidifying its position as a key engine driving digital cooperation and green transition under the BRI. KN Group’s participation in this year’s summit not only demonstrates the innovative capabilities of Hong Kong’s fintech enterprises but also highlights Hong Kong’s pivotal role in the BRI.
