Cyberport empowers solo entrepreneurs with new AI hub

Cyberport has launched OPC Hub, Hong Kong’s first dedicated innovation and entrepreneurship platform tailored specifically for one-person companies (OPCs).

Launched in response to the rise of AI agents and agentic AI, the OPC Hub empowers solo entrepreneurs to overcome traditional resource barriers. With AI now capable of handling research, customer service, marketing, and operations, individuals can turn their expertise into impactful products and services more efficiently than ever - offering a flexible, cost-effective path to growth.

To address the development needs of OPCs, OPC Hub has drawn on Cyberport’s community and networks to provide eligible OPC members with one-stop support. This includes co-working space, AI inference and computing resources, model usage credits, cloud services, training and networking, marketing and showcasing opportunities, investor matching, industry connections, and cybersecurity support for agentic AI, AI agents, and blockchain-related applications.

These resources enable entrepreneurs and small teams that make extensive use of AI to undertake product development, operations, and business expansion more efficiently.

The OPC Hub welcomes entrepreneurs globally. Applicants must be Hong Kong‑incorporated, under two years old, and need not be current Cyberport members. Their businesses must be closely tied to AI agents, whether through industry‑specific solutions, blockchain or financial integration, or AI ecosystem tools.

Meanwhile, Cyberport has established the Web4.0 & Agentic AI Security Alliance (Web4.0與智能體安全聯盟), marking a new chapter for trusted Web4.0 development and AI agent adoption within Hong Kong’s innovation and technology ecosystem. The alliance has brought together key industry players as founding members, such as 360 Digital Security Group, Beosin, BlockSec, CertiK, DAS-Security, and FORMS HK, with the Hong Kong Cybersecurity Professionals Association serving as the alliance advisor.

The alliance aims to foster a trusted Web4.0 and agentic AI ecosystem and accelerate trusted adoption. Its work will focus on four objectives: promoting cross-industry collaboration to address security challenges; advancing practical security principles, best practices, and industry framework guidelines; establishing a repository of demonstrations and real-world use cases; and encouraging broader participation across the ecosystem.

As Hong Kong's digital technology hub and AI accelerator, Cyberport has built a robust and secure AI ecosystem, bringing together over 500 start-ups and tech companies focused on AI and big data R&D, more than 310 blockchain and digital asset firms, and over 30 cybersecurity providers. Web4.0 can be understood as an "agentic and programmable internet" that combines Agentic AI with Web3.0 capabilities.

As an important direction for the next generation of the digital economy, Web4.0 enables autonomous execution, intelligent collaboration, and programmable value exchange, further advancing the convergence of AI, blockchain, and digital asset applications. With the establishment of OPC Hub and the Web4.0 & Agentic AI Security Alliance, Cyberport will further deepen the integration of AI, blockchain and cybersecurity, translating the strengths of its ecosystem into targeted support for OPCs, helping shape Hong Kong’s next-generation digital future and supporting its development as a global Web4.0 hub.

Rocky Cheng, CEO of Cyberport, said, “Cyberport has launched Hong Kong’s first OPC Hub dedicated to OPCs, providing one-stop entrepreneurial support to help entrepreneurs and young aspiring founders seize new opportunities in the AI era. At the same time, the accelerating adoption of Agentic AI and AI agents has heightened the need for cybersecurity safeguards and risk governance.”

“We have therefore established the Web4.0 & Agentic AI Security Alliance. Together with industry leaders including Alibaba Cloud, AWS, BytePlus, Cobo, Dell Technologies, FizzDragon, Lenovo, and NVIDIA, we will advance practical industry frameworks, best practices and secure application demonstrations to foster the trusted development of Agentic AI,” Cheng added.
