The very first major depolition event – Depin Expo 2025 – was successfully held at Cyberport in Hong Kong! The exhibition has brought together global industry leaders, academics and developers, around decentralized physical infrastructure (Depoline), AI and advanced web3 applications. With more than 20 innovative projects presented, she highlighted the strategic role of Hong Kong as the International Depin Hub and opened a new chapter for real infrastructure and economic models.
From August 27 to 28, 2025, the Expo 2025 depolition was successfully held at Cyberport in Hong Kong, co-initiated by CGV and Demall, organized by Web3labs, Metaera and Techub News, with cyberport as co-organizer. The leading worldwide industrial event dedicated to decentralized physical infrastructure networks (TPO), the exhibition, placed under the theme “Life, Reimagined With Depolit”, brought together global industry leaders, researchers, investors and developers to explore how Depinne technologies can transform actual infrastructures and economic models.
Opening speech: Hong Kong, Strategic Hub for the Depin and Web3
The conference officially started with a speech by Dr. Rocky Cheng, CEO of the Hong Kong Cyberport. Dr. Rocky Cheng said: “As Hong Kong Digital Technological Hub and ACC Accelerator, Cyberport hosts more than 2,200 startups and the largest blockchain and digital assets in the city, with more than 290 blockchain companies. Thanks to the web3.0 Investment Circle of the Cyberport Investor Network, we have gathered more than 40 investment entities specializing in blockchain, promoting deep integration between Depoline and the real economy. We build a complete ecosystem connecting technological adoption, capital and industrial applications, while actively operating the center of supercalculculculculculculculculis and the Cyberport AI resources to promote further integration between AI and Blockchain. This will accelerate the application of blockchain in the real economy and will open more opportunities for digital assets, blockchain and the web3.0 industry. »»
In his opening remarks, Kevin Ren, initiator of the exhibition expo and associate Asia-Pacific of the CGV Fund, delivered a discourse entitled “Life, Reimagined With Depol”. He systematically explained the categories of backdrop and their practical applications in daily life. He pointed out that the backdrop is not only the physical medium combining AI and web3, but also the key infrastructure to achieve “the economy of the machines”. Kevin also announced that the Deai Expo will be held in 2026, in order to further promote the integration of decentralized AI with the physical world.
Main speech: technological integration and construction of ecosystems in the spotlight
Yao Ding, head of Asia-Pacific growth in the Solana Foundation, explained how the Solana network, thanks to its high performance and low costs, supports the development of deputy projects. Data in support, he showed that Solana has become one of the favored blockchains for the deployment of a period.

He insisted on the fact that quality projects must unlock their value by quotes in the United States or in conformity capital markets, and analyzed in depth the interaction between industry, market and regulation.
Professor Allen Yang, from the University of California to Berkeley, has put forward, from an academic point of view, that the energy consumption of AI applications could pose risks of centralization. He indicated that decentralized calculation platforms and Edge Computing will be critical solutions. In particular, he highlighted the needs of the Embodied AI in power of local treatment in real time and called for decentralized and federated development of EDGE Computing.
Political and legislative support: Hong Kong actively builds an environment favorable to the web3
During the opening speech in the afternoon of 27, Dr. Johnny NG, member of the Hong Kong Legislative Council and CPPCC member, presented in detail the legislative advances in Hong Kong in the virtual asset sector.

Dr. NG has stressed that the global data asset market is estimated at around 4,000 billion USD, 93 % of which are native tokens, while the tokenization of real assets (RWA) represents less than 1 %, leaving enormous growth potential. He insisted on Hong Kong's desire to work in coordination with the United States to stimulate innovation and encouraged entrepreneurs to seize the opportunities offered by the depolition and RWA.
Caspar, CEO of web3labs, added that the Hong Kong finance secretary allocated funds to support the Cyberport Web3 ecosystem. Over the past two years, more than 50 projects have been incubated, in collaboration with several public blockchains, providing full support to entrepreneurs.
Round tables: Explore the integration of the point of store with AI and web3
On the morning of the 27th, the round table “The role and trajectory of Hong Kong in the Depin × Web3 ecosystem was led by Seven, COO of Metaera. The stakeholders agreed that Hong Kong, thanks to its international financial status and its open policies, has unique advantages to become a Depoline Hub. Pauline Fan, Senior VP of Investthk, insisted on the importance of open-source communities. Rachel Lee, from Cyberport, noted that efforts would continue to attract public blockchains and ecosystem projects to settle in Hong Kong.

Yao Ding, from the Solana Foundation, highlighted the potential of Hong Kong as a bridge between East and West, while Crystal Tang, CEO of Hitch, shared returns from the Hitch Open competition.
Another round table, “How can the backdrop become the new gateway to global infrastructure? “, Hosted by Edward, partner at CGV, brought together Henrique Centieiro (PEAQ), Chris Bian NGO (Dpin Foundation), Logan N (Hyra Network), Gunjan (Beamable) and Ryan Ma (FMG). The panelists have discussed from three angles – business middleware, data sovereignty and compliant transformation – stressing that the point of view evolves consumer -oriented applications to services in accordance with companies, becoming the “new real world operating system”.
On the 28th, does the round table “A dofish ia rewrite the protocols of the real world? »Was led by Lin, please Nano Bit. Iotex Eastern insisted on the current need to meet the challenges of the “black boxes” of AI and confidence. JT Song, of 0g labs, presented the data storage solutions, calculation power and all-in-one consensus of 0G for the depth. HERIC noted that users today prefer devices with integrated remuneration mechanisms. Larry, of Kaia Foundation, said that the success of the depth depends on the user base, real value applications and network effects. Quantyu, from Rootdata, has shared investment prospects, noting that the point of store remains one of the sectors most monitored by capital.
Open and showcase scene of the ecosystem: innovative applications in the spotlight
The conference included an Open Stage session, where more than 20 depolition projects were presented live.
