The incubating team of FOMO Asia, Blockbusters Lab, chose to organize the Web3 Summit in Hong Kong this time in response to the Hong Kong government's recent announcement to actively develop the Web3 industry.

Various government agencies, including Invest Hong Kong, Hong Kong Tourism Board, and Cyberport, have become Supporting Organizations for FOMO Asia. Kyle Leung, the co-founder of FOMO Asia, said ”The popularization of digital assets and blockchain technology has become a new mission for Hong Kong as an international financial center. Hong Kong has already nurtured many Web3 pioneer companies. The primary goal of FOMO Asia is to connect global blockchain builders and showcase Hong Kong's infinite potential in connecting two generations of the Internet, namely from Web2 to Web3.” FOMO Asia, co-hosted by CrossSpace, Web3 Hub, 852Web3, and HKGDAO, is a diverse and exciting four-day event that differentiates itself from standard business conferences.
