Starlabs Consulting Co-Hosts CDDJAP Summer Cohort 2026 Launch Ceremony in Hong Kong
Where Capital Meets Intelligence — AI Agents, RWA & the Future of Payments
Starlabs Consulting, together with CDDJAP and Draper Dragon, will host the CDDJAP Summer Cohort 2026 Launch Ceremony on 27 August 2026 at Cyberport, Hong Kong.
Under the theme “Where Capital Meets Intelligence”, the half-day event will bring together leading investors, founders, technology builders and ecosystem leaders to explore the convergence of AI Agents, Real-World Assets (RWA), and the future of payments.
As AI agents move from generating information to executing tasks, and as real-world assets and payment infrastructure become increasingly programmable, the boundaries between technology, finance and the real economy are rapidly evolving. The event will bring different perspectives into the same room to examine where the next opportunities are emerging—and what infrastructure, capital and partnerships will be needed to unlock them.
A Strong Lineup of Investors, Builders and Ecosystem Leaders
The event has already confirmed an impressive lineup of speakers, including:
Eric Chan — Chief Public Mission Officer, Hong Kong Cyberport
Charles Li — Former CEO, HKEX | Founder & Chairman, Micro Connect
Cai Wensheng — Founder, Longling Capital | Co-founder, Meitu
Larry Li — Founding Partner, Draper Dragon
Richard Wang — Partner, Draper Dragon & CDDJAP
James Shen (KK) — Founder, HashGlobal
Marco Lim — Executive Committee Member, Hong Kong Digital Asset Society (HKDAS)
Jack Chan — Co-Chairman, Kingston Capital | Honorary Chairman, Web3.0 Hong Kong
Felix Fung — Head of Risk Management, HKbitEX
Edison Leung — Co-founder & CEO, AXC Labs
Seven Guo — Partner, CDDJAP
More speakers and ecosystem leaders are being confirmed.
The lineup brings together perspectives spanning traditional capital markets, venture capital, digital assets, AI, fintech and Web3, creating a rare opportunity for investors, founders and industry leaders to exchange views across sectors.
Where AI Agents, RWA and Payments Converge
The event will explore three areas that are increasingly becoming interconnected.
AI Agents are evolving beyond conversational interfaces toward autonomous execution, creating new questions around identity, trust, payments and settlement.
RWA and tokenization are opening new possibilities for bringing real-world assets, financial products and commercial cash flows onto digital rails.
At the same time, stablecoins and programmable payments are emerging as potential infrastructure connecting digital assets with real-world commerce and global capital.
The central question is no longer simply what these technologies can do individually, but what becomes possible when they begin working together.
CDDJAP Summer Cohort 2026 Launches in Hong Kong
The event will also mark the official launch of the CDDJAP 2026 Summer Cohort.
CDDJAP (Cyberport × Draper Dragon Joint Accelerator Program) is a global accelerator program co-founded by Cyberport and Draper Dragon, supporting promising startups across AI and Web3.
The program connects founders with global investors, industry resources and international markets. Its Investor Alliance brings together 20 venture capital firms, providing selected startups with direct investor access, mentorship, cross-border fundraising support and opportunities to present to a global investment audience.
