This month, we’re collaborating with Science Park’s signature Tipsy Thursday event, providing an opportunity for everyone to share their latest AI prototypes and experiments, and to connect with the startups in HKSTP incubation programmes!

What is AI Tinkerers

AI Tinkerers is a meetup designed exclusively for practitioners with technical, machine learning, and entrepreneurial backgrounds who are actively building and working with foundation models, such as large language models (LLMs) and generative AI.

If you’re deeply passionate about creating LLM-enabled applications, have hands-on experience in building such systems, and are eager to connect with like-minded individuals who share your level of commitment, then this group is the perfect fit for you.

What is Science Park?

Hong Kong Science Park is a dynamic ecosystem that brings together innovators, entrepreneurs, and researchers to drive technological advancements in Hong Kong. It serves as a hub for cutting-edge research and development, fostering collaboration between academia, industry, and government.

With state-of-the-art facilities and a supportive environment, the Science Park empowers companies to develop innovative solutions and contribute to the region’s economic growth.

Why attend this Tipsy Thursday event?

This will be the first Tipsy Thursday to host at Hong Kong Science Park’s new startup showcase center called ARENA. The center is not usually opened for public, and was only opened recently in April 2025, so we are going to the early ones to have an exclusive tour through this event.

The AI Tinkerers Hong Kong meetups are designed for individuals with technical, machine learning, and entrepreneurial backgrounds who are actively building and working with foundation models, such as large language models (LLMs) and generative AI.

If you’re deeply passionate about utilizing AI, creating new use cases, developing LLM-enabled applications, or have hands-on experience in building such systems, this group is the perfect fit for you. Join to connect with like-minded individuals.

🎙️DEMO SIGNUPS🎙️

We are actively looking for more demos related to AI! Demos are capped at 5 minutes, followed by a 5 minutes Q&A. No pitch decks! We’re eager to see your raw and exciting WIPs! Please use the “Demo Submission Form” link at the top of the page to apply! 🛠️

Since we have a very tight schedule for this meet-up, our slots for demos are limited, therefore, we might not be able to accommodate all submissions, but if you are interested, please submit it early, because even if you cannot demo this time, we have other meet-ups where you could shine.

The button to submit a demo looks like this:
