The Huayuan Technology Association (HYSTA) is preparing to celebrate its 25th anniversary, a remarkable journey that has transformed it from a small startup community in Silicon Valley into a global hub for technology and capital interaction. On October 25, the association will host a summit at the Santa Clara Convention Center, featuring distinguished scientists such as Kai-Fu Lee, co-founder of the self-driving car company Aurora, and Chris Urmson, along with professors from Stanford University and other leaders in the tech industry.

HYSTA has announced that the summit will bring together influential thought leaders and industry pioneers to explore the revolutionary changes brought about by generative artificial intelligence (AI). One of the key highlights will be the gathering of Nobel laureates, industry trailblazers, investment moguls, and unicorn founders from around the globe, all sharing their valuable insights and visionary ideas about the future. Furthermore, over 40 pioneers from various tech sectors will be present to engage in innovative dialogues about the endless possibilities of AI and its related fields.

The conference will center around the theme “AI & Beyond,” examining cutting-edge topics ranging from technology to philosophy, all with the goal of uncovering the potential and future trajectory of AI. Attendees can immerse themselves in discussions with global tech leaders through more than 25 keynote speeches and panel discussions that will delve into the intelligence and thought processes behind innovation.

Mr. Wang, a tech professional eager to attend the summit, expressed his excitement upon learning that his company’s co-founder would be speaking at the event. He hopes to have the chance to connect with the founder to discuss his experiences and insights regarding the company’s direction. Additionally, he plans to apply for AI-focused courses to engage with top professors from prestigious Silicon Valley institutions.

The summit will also host 11 cutting-edge panel discussions where participants will tackle pressing topics such as AI applications, enterprise-level AI, foundational models, robotics and autonomous driving, basic sciences, biotechnology, and cybersecurity. These discussions aim to provide a thorough analysis of the global economic landscape and the impact of the Asian community on it.

An engaging aspect of the summit will be the startup showcase, featuring over ten exceptional startups that will present their innovative ideas and products. This platform will attract top investors from around the world, creating opportunities for direct engagement and potential investment.
