The Investment Promotion Agency announced on Sunday (15th) that it has collaborated with the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department to assist China Resources Capital Investment Limited in launching the first smart dining robot in Hong Kong that provides 24-hour freshly made hot meals. The entire process from order taking, reheating to meal serving is fully automated, applying artificial intelligence technology to the local dining retail scene.

The Director of the Investment Promotion Agency, Liu Kaixuan, stated that the agency has been closely communicating and collaborating with policy bureaus and departments to continuously optimize Hong Kong's business environment. The latest announced "Budget" explicitly proposes to promote the industrialization of artificial intelligence and encourage its widespread application. He looks forward to more companies seizing Hong Kong's business advantages to continue expanding their businesses in Hong Kong and other Asia-Pacific regions.

Zhang Linjun, Deputy General Manager of China Resources Capital Investment, stated that the company is committed to building a one-stop overseas service platform to assist mainland brands in entering Hong Kong and seeking business opportunities. This time, leveraging over 20 years of resource advantages in the Hong Kong commercial market, it aims to help mainland companies establish technology and operational systems in Hong Kong and build a strong cooperative relationship with the Investment Promotion Agency to promote the application of innovative technology in the catering industry in Hong Kong, providing diverse dining options for residents in remote areas, busy areas, and late-night scenarios. In the future, it will further expand the scope of cooperation to help the smart dining business form a scaled operational network.

The Hey Food smart dining robot is officially launched in Hong Kong by China Resources Capital Investment, integrating innovative technological solutions from the mainland with local business experience. China Resources Capital Investment was established in 2000 and currently holds multiple commercial properties located in core business districts and community areas in Hong Kong
