Hong Kong has joined forces with global tech giants Google and Microsoft to launch free artificial intelligence training courses for small and medium-sized enterprises.

Unveiled Thursday by the Hong Kong Productivity Council, the initiative forms a key pillar of the government’s HK$50 million ($6.38 million) 'AI for All' campaign.

The practical curriculum aims to empower vital industries—including healthcare, retail, and logistics—to seamlessly adopt AI tools for enhanced workflow efficiency, rapid data analysis, and advanced digital content creation.
