WOW (World of Web3) Summit Hong Kong 2023, held at Asia World-Expo on March 29-30, 2023, was a roaring success. It was the first and the largest Web3-focused event in the APAC region after the pandemic. The event was powered by <a href="https://guyway.events/" rel="dofollow noopener" target="_blank">GuyWay</a> and <a href="https://marketmaking.pro/" rel="dofollow noopener" target="_blank">MarketMakingPro</a>, hosted by <a href="https://uvecon.vc/" rel="dofollow noopener" target="_blank">UVECON.VC</a>, co-hosted by <a href="https://magespire.io/" rel="dofollow noopener" target="_blank">MaGESpire</a>, and supported by the Hong Kong government &#8211; <a href="https://www.discoverhongkong.com/in/index.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Hong Tourism Board</a>, <a href="https://www.investhk.gov.hk/en/home.html" rel="dofollow noopener" target="_blank">InvestHK</a> and <a href="https://www.fsdc.org.hk/" rel="dofollow noopener" target="_blank">Financial Services Development Council</a>.



WOW Hong Kong had two stages packed with valuable talks, fireside chats, keynotes, and panel discussions on the Web2-to-Web3 transition, the internet&#8217;s future, blockchain adoption, tangible assets tokenization, NFT and Metaverse use cases, CBDC, regulations, and more.&nbsp;



Over 4000 attendees arrived from across the globe, along with 50+ sponsors, 40+ renowned publishing houses, 200+ exhibitors, startups, and VCs, and 150+ speakers, including some of the top tier speakers like Yat Siu (Co-Founder &amp; Executive Chairman at Animoca Brands), Lennix Lai (MD of Global Institutional at OKX), Sébastien Borget (Co-founder &amp; COO at The Sandbox), Lucy Gazmararian (Founder &amp; Managing Partner at Token Bay Capital), WhaleShark (Founder at WHALE and E1337), Dave Chapman (Executive Director at BC Group), Angelina A. Kwan (CEO at Stratford Finance Limited), Duncan Wong (CEO at CryptoBLK), and others.



The event was made possible thanks to OKX, FirstDigital, Animoca Brands, Antalpha, Circle, Flowdesk, AWS, Tencent Cloud, ChainUp, and other sponsors. LiveArt, a leading global art platform with an end-to-end Web3 solution for minting and selling NFTs, led the WOW NFT exhibition.&nbsp;



Hundreds of Web3 enthusiasts, who couldn’t arrive in Hong Kong, had an opportunity to join the urgent and important conversations on the industry matters on both stages via livestream online.&nbsp;



“At WOW Summit, we witnessed Hong Kong’s determination to reassert its leadership in the Web3 space, and the tremendous Hong Kong government support (including FSDC, InvestHK, &amp; HKTB) is a testament to this resolve. No effort was spared to make this summit a huge success. We were thrilled to see the overwhelmingly positive response, with over 150+ speakers and thousands of attendees coming from all over the world to Hong Kong to share their insights and participate in shaping the future of Web3. We look forward to making the next editions bigger and better in the years to come,” said <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/bowie-lau/" rel="dofollow noopener" target="_blank">Bowie Lau</a>, Founder of MaGE Group and WOW Summit HK’s co-host.



This time WOW Summit joined forces with another big and famous event in Hong Kong &#8211; <a href="https://hksevens.com/news/wow-summit-partners-with-hong-kong-sevens-five-memorable-days-of-web3-sports-and-excitement" rel="dofollow noopener" target="_blank">Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens.</a> Web3 and rugby fans were able to purchase a ticket bundle for an attractive price and enjoyed both events. Besides, there were some other affordable options for students, corporates, and startups exhibiting at WOW at discounted rates.



Web3 startups had a unique opportunity to pitch on stage in front of hundreds of investors and VCs during the startup competition. Out of 150+ applicants, only eleven top-ranked projects were chosen to pitch in the final round. Twenty-six jury members &#8211; VCs, private investors, funds, and accelerators &#8211; such as Cyberport, Newman Capital, Blockchain Founders Club, Spartan Capital, Metapac, and others selected the winners.
