Over 100 tech talents from around the globe have gathered for a three-day immersive experience aimed at exploring cutting-edge innovations, sharing insights, and building a vibrant global tech community under the theme "Connecting Stars for Brilliance."

The campaign received thousands of original video submissions and attracted millions of views. "These numbers are astounding," remarked Allen Tang, Vice President of Hikvision International Business Center. "But what's truly touched us are their stories and boundless creativity."

An insider look at Hikvision's AIoT innovations

With great anticipation, the HikTech Stars arrived in Hangzhou to participate in a series of engaging activities.

Participants explored the company's latest technologies, including advancements in AIoT, machine learning, and intelligent security solutions. Interactive demonstrations offered an in-depth look at products that are shaping the future of various industries.

"I wasn't expecting such high quality and such a diverse range of products. Since we're in the security industry, we typically see only a small part of what Hikvision offers. But coming here, I've discovered so many more aspects. It all looks fantastic—it feels like the future," said a HikTech Star who has been familiar with the brand for years.

They also visited Hikvision's cutting-edge manufacturing facility in Tonglu, located on the outskirts of Hangzhou, gaining a unique glimpse into advanced production processes, automation, and quality control measures that drive the company's innovation. The factory tour highlighted Hikvision's commitment to excellence and its continuous pursuit of technological advancements.

Hands-on experience with the latest products and solutions

In the product experience zones, the HikTech Stars interacted with Hikvision's newest products and solutions. Live demonstrations showcased real-world applications across various sectors—including transportation, retail, healthcare, and more—allowing them to test innovative devices and software and gain insights into how these technologies can be applied in their respective fields.

Led by Hikvision's top engineers and experts, these sessions inspired new ideas and encouraged collaborative problem-solving. During technical seminars and discussions, participants engaged in open dialogues with Hikvision's product and R&D teams. Topics covered future industry trends, technological challenges, and opportunities to shape the next generation of tech solutions. This exchange fostered a spirit of innovation and underscored the importance of collaboration in driving industry progress.
